Sexy goal nets where they all gone ?

Watch out for the thick square posts and the deep nets...

I suppose the old wooden square posts had to be fazed out due to health & safety ( splinters )

Can't find a pic but I love the deep nets as used in Mexico '86.

I HATE those black nets as used by Man City. Very unsexy. You can't even see the bulge!

Yeah agree don't like black nets get lost in the crowd sometimes can't see if it's in the net or not , can't remember what Italian club it was but their nets were red White & green looked great

Even the Goldstone's nets were a unique design. I agree, they are all boringly similar these days!

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I'm less concerned about the size of the net and more worried about why the keeper is vanishing into the ground !

i love the old nets like at anfield in the 70's.....the net would drape and sag, and fall only a few inches from the goalline.

a goal would always look like "hot shot hamish" had scored (lost on those who never read the amazing tiger comic in the late 80s).

I understand the HawkEye system requires black nets. Therefore, should FIFA approve this particular technology, you will see a lot more of this unsexy design.

Great thread

I remember Alan Shearer once saying he wanted the ball to nestle in the back of the net and stay there.

I'm fond of a nice taut net - the type where the goalscorer's shot rebounds out and, as part of the celebration, he can smash the ball into Row Z. Kind of a 'double-whammy'. Rare, but beautiful.

I quite like the new nets to be fair

Clive Allen scoring for palace not given when it hit the station and came out.classic.

 

[The Large One]

I can't get YouTube at work, but would this be a good moment for someone to dig out the Clive Allen free-kick for Crystal Palace that went in, straight back out again and wasn't given? Or the goal Crystal Palace scored that hit the back bar of the goal against Bristol City - and wasn't given?

Actually, the Trevor Brooking goal for England against Hungary that got stuck in the 'staunchion' (© Jimmy Hill) is still the best.

I remember brazil scoring a few double whammy goals where the ball would rebound out of the net for Eder or Zico to smash it back into an empty net think it was in Spain 82 world cup

Deff this, I love a 'double whammy'. have some of that.

 

[Cappers]

Didn't Albion used to have blue/white strped nets, if my memory serves me correctly??

 

[u'vebeenamexed]

The old Upton park goalnets were so shallow that you needed goal line technology to check the whole of the ball was over the line even when it hit the back of the net.
