All bets are off for me with Ince's goal. It pisses on Vardy's, and I can't remember ever seeing a better goal by an Albion player.

Loads of applause from the Swindon fans too.
Was going to comment on exactly the same thing. You know a goal is a belter when even the opposition fans applaud it.
The only ones I can remember in reverse (where the Albion crowd have applauded an away team's goal) are both at Withdean - Andrew Crofts' dipping volley for Gillingham, and Ishmael De'montagnac's absolute worldy for Walsall.

That doesn't show that Ince started the move by passing to O'Grady, who then passed it to Colunga.

I remember Chris Eagles' goal for Watford getting applause, but seems it was only a ripple...

That wasn't a shot from Ince. That was his cushioned first touch.

In the context of the whole situation vardys goal is better than ince.
I too have scored some pretty good goals but down on hove seafront against people such as Eubanks brother with the score at 11-21 after just nutmeggin a walkers dog. Means they are not as good as ince or vardys goal.
Maradonna is more of a football legend then messi.

I'm surprised no-one has compared it to the great man's sublime effort for QPR against WBA a while back. Also chasing a through ball and in my opinion far more skillful than Vardy's effort and from a worse angle.
I'd put this and Ince's efforts joint first with Vardy a very honourable third (ignoring the contexts!)

Whats "context" got to do with it ? Its all about technique and the difficulty of the chance (if you can even call it a chance). Vardy hit a peach of a shot after the ball bounced in front of him, and it was a tremendous strike. Ince caught his shot FULL on the volley (no bounce) when he was on the run and the ball was travelling across him, not just sitting up in front of him. That's got to be just about the most difficult thing to do in football. Catching it just right and with sufficient power was one thing, finding the far top corner with it was something else. That's why Ince's strike is, IMO, quite clearly superior. It was a FAR more difficult strike to pull off.
I still dunno what Maradona/Messi has got to do with any of this.

I'm saying imho you are wrong to exclude context! Vardys goal is better.
Very simple. Then for your own sake forget maradonna v messi.
Unless off course you are being pedantic. In which case feel free to carry on because in the short run it probably relieves whatever cuases that antisocial symptom.

Definitely not a volley, but wouldn't call it a half volley either (in the truest sense). Rob Smythe would file it under the "bouncing ball" category:Was Vardy's goal even a volley

I'd go along with that, and wasn't it with the outside of his left foot, if my memory serves me correctly.

I recall people going apeshit at Henderson as if he was supposed to have the heading ability of Danny Cullip and put it into the back of h block
