What Is Your Favourite Type of Goal Scored??

[Bones]

A mazy dribble from my own penalty area, round the keeper who has dashed out 30 yards, followed by a long range thunder blaster thats hits the bar bounces down and hits the defenders swede and goes in.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I loved playing house matches at school. We played on the 'Dyke Field' and they seemed to be below sea level. Most of the pitches were mud baths, you know the classic FA Cup first round type pitch, where it looks as though they have kick the Saturday Farmers market off to host the game.

Invariably all games consisted of about 8 - 15 goals. Most houses had four or five decent players and the rest were made up with people destined to watch rather than play.

My favourite ever goal was (not scored by me) a goal mouth scramble. I was up for the corner (goalkeeper), but didn't get a touch. The ball pinged around the area for what seemed an eternity, before a team mate managed to get the final touch and lash it into the net. Followed by an eleven man Klinsmann dive into a huge mud puddle. I think the final score was 5-5.

I vote for a goal mouth scramble/melee.

its gotta be the GERRARD!!!!! ones

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Pass and Move ones. With the defenders chasing shadows or standing with a gormless look on their face as they remember why they are defenders not forwards.

 

[Frutos]

From the options, I'd have to go for the first one.

I just love watching a player get the ball about 25-35 yards out and absolutely HAMMER a shot into (and virtually through) the net that no keeper past or present would get anywhere close to.

 

[pasty]

Personally it is the goal that seems to come out of nowhere. A totally unexepcted, take everyone by surprise effort that quite literally lifts you out of your seat with the sheer genius and audacity of the goalscorer.

Prime example - Zamora's volley against Halifax at Withers. He had no right to even attempt that volley, let alone smash it into the far corner before the 'keeper even had a chance to move.

 

[tinx]

I love a smasher form 30 yards, one of those ones where the player hardly has a back lift and the ball somehow flies in at stupid speed slightly dipping into the little square right below the crosbar and milimetres form the post. Ideally with a totally pointless and much delayed theatrical dive by the keeper after ball has past him long before.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

I think mine is an 'other'?

When the oppo defence are on the halfway line and one of our centre halves dinks it just beyond them, for our centre forward to latch onto and race clear, bearing down on goal from about forty yards, with the crowd on their feet and calmly knocking it past the outcoming goalie

Terry Connor possibly against Liverpool (Millwall?) in the FA Cup (Play-Offs?) springs to mind, but I could be mistaken...

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I'm a huge fan of the first time volley over the shoulder. But Last minute winners are my all time favourite.

 

[Commander]

I like the kind where the defence half clear a corner or cross to about 25 yards out, only for some fucker to smash it back into the top corner.

 

[rcf0712]

top thread, obviously put a bit of effort into this, nice one.... Whilst I do love a double poster it has to be in off the bar for me, I'm back on the clock terrace at Highbury and Jimmy's just let rip that free kick!

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

where was the sneeky george option ??

 

[Braders]

Long Range Thunder Blaster that completely leaves the keeper beaten but still has time to hit the crossbar and fall sweetly behind the line


but I'm only allowed one vote

 

[Spun Cuppa]

I like the kind where the defence half clear a corner or cross to about 25 yards out, only for some fucker to smash it back into the top corner.

Danny Wilson, being a bit short, would stand about 25 yards out at corners and attempt what you've said from short clearances...

Saw him hit the bar in front of the North Stand once and the ball came down with snow on it

 

[Easy 10]

I rather like the long range drive that actually RISES all the way on its journey until it cannons into the roof of the net. VERY rarely seen, but a classic example would be the Jonny Metgod one for Forest in the 80's (its probably somewhere on YouTube but I can't get that at work).

I'm also a sucker for an audacious chip though. You know, the ones that seem to be going in slow motion, like Phillipe Alberts for Newcastle in the 5-0 against Manure.

 

[Storer68]

I particulary enjoy the "pointless last minute consolation" from a well beaten team.

See, they can do it. And if only they had done it eighty four minutes ago!

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

bar and in. flair.
