Was it better than the one at the Dell in the eighties? The one that was disallowed.

 

All the goals at St Marys are better than that - because they are actually goals!

But was it better than Channon VS Liverpool ?

I might have my rose tinted glasses still on from this afternoon, but I reckon we retained possession and made as many passes as the Channon v Liverpool goal (the only difference was that the move for that goal started just outside our own box, whereas this afternoon's goal was about possession and passing in the Boro half).

 

Can't wait to see the whole build up as the Lambert/Connolly link up was great at the end, but can't really remember who was involved prior to that.

The best one of the 80`s was against (IIRC) Liverpool with as many passes as today and Channon put it in the net. It stood.

No because that was against the Best team in Europe but this was quality.

 

I did have a LOL moment after the first goal some Mong behind me was screaming at Hammond I think to get t forward and "stop messing about with it" cue a great ball out to Butterfield a superb cross and Gulys header for 1-0. Turned round and said "that's why we don't play f*cking long ball" he didn't say much for the rest of the game.

For those of us lucky enough to be at The Dell for that game (even though we lost) - no goal by a Saints team will approach it at SMS.

Unless we do it against reigning Champions next seaon in The Premier League...26-passes that is!

At first I thought we were just taking the p*ss, just keeping the ball for the hell of it. Then Rickie did some magic, waited brilliantly and the rest is history. Was an amazing goal

Jeezzzz......we do have some knobhead fans. It wasn't a goal because it was disallowed, well thanks for that, I would never have known....lol

 

So, if Channons goal had stood, was it a better goal than that? I'm sure you get the jist?

 

I'm assuming that some have the mental capability of being able to understand the question without pedantic, even though I stated it was offside anyway :D

 

The script will now be about the semantics of my original question, rather than someone having the common sense to answer the question itself.....welcome to Saintsweb. :D

It was sublime how we went from the edge of their box, played it back, drew them out, pushed them back into the centre of their box, dinked the ball over the top, Ricky took it to the byeline, stood for a moment as if in slow mo then flicked up perfectly for connoly to smash in. Seemed like everyone had a touch can't wait to see it again.

Channon as far as I know hasnt scored at SMS.

In terms of total football, it was sublime. Credit to lambo with that skill to make the space in the penalty box, and he had the awareness to pickout Conners who finished as you'd expect.

 

To be honest, we're scoring goals of this quality, or coming close, on a regular basis these days. If Chappers finish had gone in against Watford I think? That would have been stunning.

Tell you what, if Lambert's volley had gone in what a goal that would have been... The build up was sublime...

 

Exactly, that as well. We'll score more and more goals like this as long as we keep playing as we are. No one can contain us at the mo.

We almost scored two more near identical multipass goals this season,one against Swindon and Watford respectively. Some of the passing from our team these days is incredible, there must be some serious hard work going on down at staplewood.

 

Back to the best goal at St Mary's, we all know it was that god awful penalty from Rasiak a few years ago ;)

It was a good goal, notr the best I've seen at SMS, but a pretty decent effort.

 

The bloke behind me was moaning at a couple of the sideways passes early on in the move, so he must have felt like a chump when it went in. Credit to RL, his movement and pull back made the goal.

For sheer technical superiority today's third has to be right up near, if not, at the top.

 

For sheer brutal ferocity Bairds exocet when we all thought we had pigged up another free kick will live with me forever: the brief moment of silence around the ground as the net was almost ripped from the posts capped it.

Certainly the best long range effort I can ever remember seeing. Shame we fluffed a 2-0 lead in that game.

Yeah, it was gutting to see them not go in, knowing they'd have been amazing goals. It's great to see one finally go in, and against a strong team as well!

 

You mean the penalty where he needed three hacks at it to finally get it over the line? :lol:

Needless-to-say several of the many-headed around me were moaning by about pass number 9,10 and 11 saying 'kick-the-thing-forward' but some rather clever flicks and passes soon shut them up and the move unfolded to its superb conclusion. Has that goal been scored by Brazil, Barcelona or Milan the pundits would have been purring.

 

What's the betting tonight's Football League Show will only include the last 5 or so passes?

Great goal but to be fair, Middlesborough's defending was ****e re: Lambo.

 

This^^^ good goal but boro could hardly be bothered to make a challenge. Lambert could have stopped got out a deck chair, made himself a cup of tea, had a quick read of the paper and still had time to put in the pass to a compleatly unmarked Connolly. Boro's defending for that goal would have shamed a tyro league team TBF.

 

As for best goal I still think that Wayne Thomas pile driver against Ipswich is the best goal for me.

Best I've seen but to my mind not as good as Channon's goal of the season against Liverpool, that was faster and mostly one-touch

 

Ditto.

I won't lie, I've only seen the football league highlights (which missed the majority of the build up from what I've heard), and although it looked a good goal, I think the quality of it was somewhat devalued by some terrible, literally school-boy defending by 'Boro.

Stern John Volley v Hull to complete his Hat-trick (Ball didn't touch the floor between Davis and goal.

 

Delap v spuds (see video before)

 

Pahars v ******

 

I seem to remember a Forest player lobbing Davis from about 40 yards in the Portaloo era?
