acrossthepond 866 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 "The referee's a seal!" is a brilliant one I heard at Hartlepool a couple of years ago. There was also a belligerent six-year-old at that game who spent the entire time perched in his dad's arms shouting random abuse. At one point he pointed straight at an admittedly chunkly Hartlepool player and screamed "FATTY! FATTY!" for a good five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 16995 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Fifa goal of the year... Â http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30786318 Â The only goal I think I've seen to compare with RvPs was Houchen for Cov in the 87 cup but that was from a cross from the right. Diving headers are incredibly rare nowadays. Â Hammes? obviously brilliant, but not even the second best goal at the world cup, Cahill gets that for me. Â The Irish girls goal was great too.....but can you really compare a ladies match in a footballing backwater to the world cup finals?...

Williamson probably would have out and out flattened her rather than risk her getting a shot off  Otherwise, I wonder about the keeper more than anything. Would a better keeper have saved it? It wasn't top corner as I recall, about chest high in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Â Â Â Â Unreal goal like. Don't really care that much for goal of the year awards that much because I think people tend to like and appreciate different things in football aesthetically like. My personal favourite last year was Bale's winner in Copa Del Rey. Â The Revisita De La Liga goal of 2014 competition is well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 If you cannot find fault in the defending or goalkeeping then a goal in any standard of football should be considered.The goal from the irish lass was technically more difficult than the goal which actually won the award .I cannot see the difference between a Sunday morning player putting one over the keepers head from inside his own half and Beckham doing it in the Premier league,if both keepers were too far off the line.

Rayvin 5151 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Still think that free kick was better. I'm not sure I've ever seen a free kick like that before. I don't even know how it was physically possible, unless there was some significant wind interference. Â Looked like he meant it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The Irish lass went untouched man, I highly doubt that would have been in case in a top flight game. The defender would have made a move for the cross or become physical with the player rather than just stand watching them, that's before factoring in the level of goalkeeper as Tom mentioned. It's a good goal by the lass but the level of football she was playing at should factor in as Tom and others pointed out, she done well to get nominated and be in the running but it'd have been a bit silly if a non-league reserve team goal won the award.

Rayvin 5151 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yep. Can't say that I thought the winning goal was all that great though. Pretty good as far as they go but I've seen Cisse score a few better for one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
