Favourite kind of goal.

:D What is your favourite kind of goal.................

Almost invariably, Goal of the Week/Season is won by a shot from 30 yards or so, but there are other kinds. Here is a far from complete list, as much as it is possible to identify 'kinds' of goal.

A long shot.

A team move ending in a goal.

One player running past 3 or 4 players and scoring.

An almighty scramble

A player beating the offside trap and one on one with keeper.

I've always been a big fan of one player picking up the ball 40 yards or so, and going for goal, with my frustration at his selfishness turning to ecstacy as he runs past everybody and knocks it in.:D

Own Goals :)

Especially when they bounce off someones head taking them
by complete surprise, and then the ones where a backpass
goes horribly wrong :D

:eek: I scored one of those yesterday, so I'll pass on that.

I've always liked goals which come from an incisive pass and a nice piece of skill to beat a defender (either from the passer or the finisher).

Technically , imo, one of the most perfectly executed goals, Bergkamp with back to goal receives the pass, exquisite touch, swivels and bangs it into the net. No hint of a fluke at all.
Can't remember the when who or where but sometime within the last 5 years in the EPL, evening game.
Other than that, any one of of 50 goals by George Best, icing on the cake.

hehehee that's great. what a ball in! :D

favorite goals are any by matt letissier! team goals and dribbling ones are really the best though, the long-range piledriver and free-kick (zzz..) goals aren't my cup of tea at present. crisp and clever short passing with a diving header to round it off, how can you beat that. also like low shots, the half-volley or one-hopper into the corner.

This might re-jig some memories.

I always thought this goal should be more famous.
Only usurped by other events in this brilliant match.

Giggs FA Cup Arsenal Treble Season.

That's the goal.

This has got to be the best goal I've ever seen. I can't even begin to understand how he scored it.

Messis goal is absolutely ridiculous.
Apparently he's playing in the under-19 or under-20 World Cup this Summer.
Imagine how ****ed off you'd be if you saw that fecker stretching and jumping up and down just before kick-off against you, and you only some sprightly young fella from St. Josephs boys.
An amazing thing i saw watching that is I never realised Diego never used his right foot for that entire passage of play towards the goal.

The goal posted by Superfrank is pretty feckin impressive alright.
What team is that?

YouTube is blocked here so I've no idea which goals have been mentioned, but my fav goals of all time are....

Long Shot...... Gerrard V Olympiakos
Beating Players.... LeTissear V Newcastle
Moment of brilliance.... DiCanio for West Ham V Wimbledon
Technique.... Zidane in Champions League Final (about 2001) at Hamden Park

Can I also mention a goal scored by a former Linfield player.

It was about 8 or 9 years ago. Stephen Collier our Right Back, got the ball around the half way line. He went on a run skinned one player then got fouled with by the next, but got passed him with the ball, he got fouled by the next but still got passed him with the ball, skinned the last one at the edge of the box and hit a right foot shot that hit the top corner of the net.

Unfortunately there is no video of it, but it was a truely smashing goal.

There was another goal for Linfield, Lee Feeney volleyed from about 35 years into the top corner against Crusaders at Seaview.

Tony Gorman hit two 30+ yard free kicks in the back of the net like bullets against Coleraine 7 years or so ago at Windsor when we won 3-0.

Long shots can be aesthetically pleasing but there is always an element of luck to them really , I like team worked goals ala Carlos Alberto

But i love smart finishes like Bergkamps vs Newcastle a few years ago and Robbie Keanes for Coventry against Arsenal in 1999 , its here about a minute in
