The Football.....

I've scored some crackers in my time. Let's hear about yours.

(Replying to my own post - you know it makes sense)

I was playing for Bury and Rochdale conservation volunteers against Liverpool CV. It was about fifteen-a-side, on a very windy Southport beach. We won 6 - 3. I scored a hat-trick. My first goal. The ball had been hoofed forward from a defensive position. The wind took the ball towards the corner flag and, bring very quick on my feet at the time, I was first there as it came down. The ball was in danger of crossing the line so the only thing to do was an overhead kick towards goal. Call it an instinctive attempt on goal if you will, but the bloody thing went in!

You know that volley yon Andy Carroll scored the other week? I did the same thing about 25 years ago.

For a split second i thought you said you played for Bury against Rochdale!

As a junior I chipped the keeper from the half way line. Pitch might not have been full size

No Sky back then so not available on YouTube or some late night compilation show.

I scored shoot loads of goals but 99% from about 6 yards out. I once scored a hatrick with a combined distance of 6 yards.

If Scottish football has all these hidden gems how are they kept so under wraps ? Your correct I do watch "the hype" on Sky but also follow countless football related channels on Twitter Facebook etc.

Pick that oot.

Declaration of interest:

Utrecht should have won this game three or four nil. The attempted clearance was embaraasing but the shot was a beauty. From last Sunday.

Maybe we should have a "That's quite a good goal" thread, and ban anyone who claims "goal of the season/month/century" from taking part

We have sold our iconic 6'4" number 9 to Sheff Utd, being silly enough to let him near the end of his contract. Only a goal in 3.5 games man, but every one seemed to be important. We have been linked with a 5'4" midget called Anton Fink from a Bundesliga 3 club as a replacement. Gutted, I wish we had sold every other player and just kept James Hanson.

Yep, a real throw back centre forward. Likes a pint, or two, I used to see him in the local Sainsbury's, always dressed in shorts & flip flops even in winter

Good idea.

But...should it be a Union thread or one for Scotland and one for the rest of us?
