Players that lose interest in football but are still happy to pick up a wage and play at 1/2 their potential. Edit: Not that Batty was like that.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Tiote hasn't scored from the half way line yet so Batty is winning at the minute. Any remember the uppercut? Edited January 4, 2011 by Anorthernsoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Tiote hasn't scored from the half way line yet so Batty is winning at the minute. Forgot about that goal. Not quite the half way line like. Although Neil Sullivan was the keeper and Beckham scored from there against him earlier that same season iirc.

Christmas Tree 4460 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 off topic but talking about Bechams wonder goal.... Can anyone remember Rob Lees wonder goal that was disallowed because the ref pulled the game back to give us a free kick. I have a shit memory so cant remember the details but we were defending the gallowgate and Rob Lee broke up an attack somewhere between the 25 yard box and the 40 yards. He then took a step or two, saw their gialie off the line and launched a shot from way inside our half that went it. Just as he kicked it I think he got tackled so the ref blew up and ruined what probably surpassed Beckhams strike. And while Im at it there was once a horrible situation with Rob Lee that probably looked worse from the gallowgate. He was tackling near the touchline at the leazes end and got charged out of play. He landed backwards on the side hoardings and looked liked he snapped hi spine. It was horrific for a few minutes til he got up and got on with it.

Fairly sure it was Charlton and the ref had blown for offside. Lee was about 10-15 yards inside our half and.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Neil Sullivan was the keeper and Beckham scored from there against him earlier that same season iirc. beckhams was the week before lobbed twice in the space of a week, poor shit. Thought Battys was better imo, beckham had much more time. Vinnie Jones went fucking mental with Sullivan at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 41363 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Aye it was, my favourite moment in the whole match tbh. Batty v Batty brings up Le Saux's wee handbags in Moscow. Odd that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4460 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) There was def a video of it up here a few years back. I'll trawl the net, I would love to see it again. From Lee Ryders Blog There's enough memories of Lee alone to write a book but interestingly this week while talking to colleagues about some of the great goals bagged by the Londoner that Toon fans seemed to love, there was a recurring theme. And it wasn't talking about his hat-trick in Antwerp, or his blinder against Nottingham Forest or his header at Wembley against Chelsea - it was indeed that 'goal' against Brentford. Against Brentford with Newcastle all over the Bees, a clearance from Graham Benstead (at a time when goalies were still getting used to the new backpass rule) was punted to just inside the Toon half. Instinctively Barry Venison appealed for offside and was successful with the ball heading to the Brentford frontline as Newcastle stepped out. However, in that same split second Lee had magnificently chested the ball down and hooked it high over Benstead's head and into the Leazes End goal. The referee quickly chalked the goal off to leave Lee devastated that his wonder goal hadn't stood. If it had, it then he would have eclipsed Pele's attempted effort from long range against Czechoslovakia in the 1962 World Cup. And it would have come three years before David Beckham's famous goal at Selhurst Park against Wimbledon. Sadly, I couldn't find any footage of the goal in the vault and I don't own a VHS recorder any more so quite how I'm going to ever see it again, I don't know. But hopefully Lee can take some solace from the fact we're at least remembering it I'll stick the link to the blog on here as well because a few of the comments are describing which vhs has the goal on. (in case anyone has it tucked away and can digitalise it).
