Cox is a winger not a goalie....

The worst ones were always at Palace & Southampton (the Dell), which were far too shallow to allow a satisfactory net-busting experience. They should have shortened the pitch by a yard or so to allow for a deeper goal net. Typical stupid Palace. They'll probably introduce goal music next.









Oh.

Not as good as the world cup subbuteo nets one was red the other was blue, the nets had a lovely sag as well

Goal nets these days are so boring they all look the same
Big square nets held back by two poles every ground has the same design
Back in the day( 70s 80s ) I could tell you what ground it was just by looking at the nets .
Remember Hampden Park big square Posts Wembley with the green stanching encased with flowing nets , even palace had sexy goal posts & nets Goodison park had a lovely ripple when the ball hit the back off the net
But the best & sexiest nets belong to Mexico 1970 watch the Final brazil v Italy I never get tired of seeing the ball ripple those lovely nets or what about when Trevor Brooking scored for England against Hungary & the ball got stuck in the stanching does anybody else share this love affair I have with sexy goal nets or is it just me , I don't know how to post pictures on NSC but if anyone could post any pictures of sexy old fashioned nets & posts I'd be very grateful

I think this was one of my first memories of an England goal.

Back in the day keepers without gloves and shorts and socks that matched the rest of the team

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

As Alan Partridge would say...........Eat That!!!.........................and another!

Great stuff , that's bought back loads of memories spent playing Subbuteo as a kid

Top thread. Makes me feel less nerdy cos i like a nicely constructed goal. My favourite was the nets they had at world cup 90 in italy. They hung quite loosely and were really bunched at the bottom so when someone hit a screamer the ball just kept going. Then the keeper had to spend 10 minutes wading through netting to get the ball back.

Wow look at those red nets at Anfield now that's what you call sexy nets, I love em

Hold your horses, all depends on how they ripple when one goes in.

They're nice like, Everton have Blue ones but you can't really see it ripple when the ball goes in. I hate the plain white square goal nets, we had nice nets last season (black and white diagonal) but they're boring white nets again now.

Please don't let this be 0 0 I've never been more eager for a goal to be scored
I think it's gonna be a lovely sight
