Sticking this in world football as it will cover all the matches witnessed by people all over the place this year...
Best match Throughly enjoyed Celtic v Hibs at the start of this month(although I didn't really like the bit where Celtic were behind!) In the second half both teams were intent on open attacking football, a credit to both managers.
Worst game Pre season freindlies really are not the type of place to go for entertainment so step forward Celtic and Fulham; with Stoke and Stockport not far behind (at least there were some goals in that one.)
Best goal On a night where the pubs around Southend were full of people with a new found passion for Chelsea watching Ronaldinio's contender for goal of the season, Bristol Rovers Junior Aggogo managed to control a long upfield punt with the outside of one foot and volley it into the top corner with the other, all this in the in the glamour of an LDV Vans Southern Section final against Southend, (the tv replays do not do the gooal justice.) You can stick your Champions League - well when Arsenal and Celtic are out of it anyway.
Highs Arsenal winning the cup, Celtic stuffing Rangers twice in a forthnight, Cliftonville's mid-table obscurity meaning no relegation play off.
lows Chelsea, Celtic's title collapse, Finn Harps relegation, St Pauli's failure to make and impact and go up. And above all Ireland being so rubbish in all their competitive matches.
Best trips Going to see St. Pauli in April was a superbly funny trip, closely followed by the Faroe's with its slippy steps in the ground (honest it wasn't the beer that made me fall;) ) and Lopez's Irish coffee's at 10am with no dilluting or fattening cream!
Best fans St. Pauli's fans just keep on singing and partying irrelavent of score lines and are brilliantly welcoming.
Best Stadium Haven't been to that many big new ones this year so I'll be parocihal and say Celtic Park.
Worst Stadium Perhaps not the very worst but how Stockport have the cheek to charge £20 to sit in their shack of an away end with the worst tea not just in football but in the world is something that needs explaining.:mad:
Feel free to add in your own catagories.
Wishing all of you a happy new year and some fun in watching the repeating crushing disappointment that tends to be football.
