Those serious-faced runs by losing goalscorers

[Man of Harveys]

A ruddy CLASSIC of the genre at 1.28 in. Well done son; well, well done: goaldown retrieving of the very finest quality:

BBC Sport - Football - Peterborough 4-4 Cardiff

Before setting off with customary hatchet-faced seriousness, he still finds time to do a dainty little half SKIP whilst still in the goal.

The second one had potential, but thwarted by the goalkeeper. Unfortunately the cameraman neglected to video the third goaldown retrieve.

To be a "ruddy CLASSIC", surely it has to prove utterly futille? Surely the beauty of a top drawer goaldown retrieval is only really seen when the game is utterly lost.

Here though, the GD happened early in the second half and yet Posh nicked a point with a last minute goal. You couldn't find a LESS futile goaldown retrieval if you tried.

Who was Saturday's Goaldown Retreiver? It wasn't Forster...

How about The Goaldown Retrievers?

Just the job.......

It has taken me until now but I have just got it!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Fozzie looked quite happy to have scored to me and I don't think he went and got the ball.

Oh it looks like a fine, fine example of the genre has just been served up by the Ivorian scorer in the Cote d'Ivoire v North Korea game. Who wouldn't run back like the wind when you only have another seven to get? Chapeau Msr.

A classic tonight. Fryatt scored his second and made it 4-3. In an effort to retrieve the ball, he nobbled the keeper and got sent off.

A classic of the genre by Wayne Rooney vs Chelsea. Lovely to see.

Well done Wayne

He's done it again!!

Two in the same game! It just doesn't get any better than that.

This is similar to my all time favourite thing that ALL defenders do: Make a monstrous tackle where the ball goes out of play and then jog backwards pointing to non-relevant defensive positions.

Sent by the power of Gus' tactical genius

And another favourite is goalkeepers who pull off spectacular saves from shots outside the box and immediately leap up and scream at their defenders for allowing them the opportunity to shamlessly show off.

Gob - Stopper?

...as mentioned earlier in the thread.

I tell ye, "gob-stopper" and "goaldown retriever". Remember where you heard those terms first. One day they're going to be HUGE.

I've got to say, we've had our differences (Glenn Murray)...but that is stunning.

Take a bow.

Shouldn't that be bow wow.
