Whats the most bananas you've gone for any SINGLE Albion goal?

[Mancgull]

Reinelt for me although the next 20 minutes or so was agonising. Knights winner was pretty joyous and would come second. Strangely the two Cup Final goals seemed to be a bit of a blur. However my third place one was Case's winner at Anfield in the 5th round in 83.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

McShane in the 79th was complete carnage.

For me on a personal level I can only see it being trumped by a goal that sends us up to the Prem.

Stevens equalizer at 83 cup final. Eventually settled next paddock down, along with most who were with me

Great shout [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] Byrne at Anfield was mental. Brilliant moment.

I'll add Bridcutt's 94th minute volley to beat Carlisle 4-3 ("Its the stuff of dreams...")

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Bobby Zamoras goal against Bristol the stadium went a bit nuts.

Generally away day celebrations beat anything at a home game. However Lopezs free kick against Palace I lost my shit also Buckleys winner against Donny Plus any last minute winner. The Penalty away at Fulham this season for instance I ended up 5 rows backwards.

Most Important and memorable goals arent scored at a time when you can really lose your shit.

More recently, Bobby's 89th minute winner at Leeds. We knew he was really back, then.

Case against Norwich '83 quarter final was pretty mental. My feet didn't touch the floor as I was swept up & down the north stand terrace.

Good thread. What ingredients are required to go wild at a goal?

- ideally an away terrace
- the goal at the away end
- the later the better
- importance of occasion and effect on the result
- a goal mouth scramble or a close range header in front of the away terrace
- the players approaching the away end en masse to join in the celebration

I think most of the obvious ones have been covered so I'll throw a few more obscure choices into the mix.

Bobby Zamora header away at Torquay from an inviting centre from Freeman.

A Kerry Mayo header away at Macclesfield on a Sunday afternoon to salvage a point in injury time.

I also remember going wild to a rare Kevin McCarrigle goal on the away terrace at Wycombe. We were on a bad run and that goal put us 2-0 up.

Another vote for Byrne's equaliser at Anfield. Although I was young at the time, I celebrated so wildly that for a moment I thought I was going to die.

Also, Terry Connor's goal against Liverpool in the cup. Another huge celebration in the north stand!

 

[Mackenzie]

Easy. Palace 0-1 Brighton

McShane 79.


What a brilliant night that was.

 

[grummitts gloves]

Wilkins last minute v Ipswich in 1991 or Storer v Donny in 1997, both at The Goldstone.

This.

 

[JJ McClure]

For me the contenders would be;
Virgo v Swindon
McShane v Palace
Buckley v Donny
Spanish Dave v Palace

Think it has to be McShane's for sheer unbridled mentalness.

 

[Ernest]

Last minute goals = more bananas

Wilkins
Virgo
Buckley

 

[trancing]

Bridcutt volley vs Carlisle 4 - 3

 

[Wilko]

Buckley vs Donny we went so mental on the front row of WSU that we thought we may tip over it. You know that feeling when your heart is still pounding through your shirt 15 minutes later.

 

[lizard]

Either Reinelt at Hereford or Storer the week before. I still get a shudder down my spine when I think about them. Steve Gritt

 

[Dave the OAP]

Jimmy case...FA cup semi final....went totally mental and ended up down the front of the clock

Garry stevens' goal in the cup final

Zamora a couple of weeks ago at home.

Reinalt at Hereford

.

A goal that meets all these criteria was Zamora's winner away at Posh at the end of the 2001/2 season
- Bobby wasn't expected to play but did at the last minute.
- He missed an early penalty
- it got is promoted (although that was confirmed the next day when Reading failed to win)

and it was on that fantastic away terrace at London Road. Everyone went absolutely mental when it went in - like a dam bursting. A friend of mine in the home end said he'd never seen a set of fans "overreact" so much to a goal being scored!

 

[Hove Seagull]

Cup final 83. I actually clapped so much the hands fell off my watch and just rattled around inside the glass.

 

[The Albion Roar]

Al...

Reinelt - by a distance. Though not a goal, went even more bananas at the final whistle.
Buckley v Donny
Bennett v Walsall (won the 3rd division)
Nelson at Brentford

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Jimmy Case at Highbury. Never, ever forget that surge.
