It was a a good strike, but hardly 'Goal of the week' material.
But fair play to those Sky clowns if they didn't include the EPL/SPL and the major European leagues.
There were better goals on the last day of the Bundesliga for instance.

No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
pretty sure youre thinking of Charlie Darwin, the guy who discovered Madden if reports are to be believed.......
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
in their own website posting that i copied into my post, it looks like they "scoured" the leagues of the world looking for the best goals... not to say that youre not right that theres probably better goals out there from the last week!Originally Posted by ArdeeBhoy
It was a lovely finish though, top class. Hopefully he can keep up this good form in the Championship and prove some of the doubters wrong...... (like me!)

Didn't see the other goals but it was a worth winner IMO I expect it had more skill and quick thinking involved in it.
Curling a ball with the outside of the foot like this is never easy he got it to curl and dip from almost
a standing position.
There were some great goals though

Having said that as it is an English speaking site surely there is some bias in the voting?
May be a good time to speculate - if Paddy Madden continues to score reasonably regularly, at least, in the Championship next season, at what point does he merit a call-up to the national squad? In the spring friendly against Serbia? Should he possibly be given a run-out against Wales this August based on his prolific form, or should that game be used solely as a tune-up for the current squad in preparation for the autumn World Cup games, with no real experimentation?
If Sammon becomes a starter on the back of nothing, then a regularly scoring Championship striker Paddy Madden can expect to be ignored for two years and/or when he stops scoring...

Well, if he has anything like the impact he has been having of late, he will have earned it if it comes. Not saying he isn't good enough as I haven't seen enough of him but Yeovil will surely be on the back foot in most games with chances at a premium for him. The step up from L1 into Championship is a chasm I reckon, you will have decent sides in L1 but you begin to encounter big clubs in the Championship, with big followings compared to the few thousand more often found in L1, and big resources. Clubs who not only believe their rightful place is in the Premier, but who have been capable of European qualification when last there. Bolton, Birmingham, Leicester, Middlesbrough and Wigan all having made it to Europe fairly recently.
If Madden does enough to warrant one of these type clubs taking a punt on him, he will have done very well, I think.
I was thinking "call him up Trap" when I saw his scoring record, but I never said anything (just checked that) because I knew
people would say well it's easy to score in league one.
I don't have a problem with him being called up at any point given his scoring record, he has the knack of putting the ball n the back of the net, something we could do with. He could have scored his last goal against any kind of opposition.

Madden pays tribute to Gary Johnson.

Has scored winning goals at Bramall Lane and the Ricoh Arena this season though (as well as the Wembley goal), so the crowds aspect shouldn't be a problem, imo.
Good that Madden is going to a higher division with his own club, rather than being poached by one of the bigger boys. Less pressure and so better opportunity to settle in at Championship level. Even 10 or 12 goals next season would be a grand return, given that he is still a young player.
Why would crowds be a major factor anyway?
And 3 months+ for him to be still signed elsewhere.
I meant more the resources/budgets of those clubs due to those bigger followings, and that the club he is with will most likely be fighting a battle to stay in games rather than winning most weeks, so he will maybe have less sights of goal each Saturday. I wasn't saying he doesn't have bigger occasions in him, not at all.
Nottingham Forest interested in Madden: http://www.thisissomerset.co.uk/Link...#axzz2ZYX4tn1S
Sounds like a great move for both parties, I'd love to see Madden at Forest especially if he keeps getting the goals, might see both promoted!!
Very true. Only thing is, Yeovil aren't going to have it all their own way next season. A season with the Championship strugglers putting up a strong goal tally could be ideal for his development also. Forrest would be a great move though.
On standby for the Wales match after Cox, Pilkington and Quinn cry off injured: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/socc...draw-1.1487155
Brilliant news!
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Looks like Madden might be called into the Wales squad now that McGeady has pulled out.
Good I hope he is called up and gets a run out, but knowing Trap he would probably not even put him on just to get a cap.
