PokingFun Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Not really a stitich up, just simply that it was voted for by fans and Man U and Arsenal have more fans than us so it was always going to be won by players involved with the top clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Rooney's goal just doesn't do it for me. He does shin it a bit, it's not a clean bicycle kick, not such a fast and straight cross, and there's something about a fat man getting stuck in the air that doesn't look right. Rooney's volley against Newcastle was far better for sheer quality and cleanness of the strike. come on..stop being bitter. it was a brilliant over head kick..and voted as such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 4 May, 2012 Author Share Posted 4 May, 2012 It's a daft competition. Recent goals get rated more highly in everything. It'll be loads of man utd fans, loads of kids who love Rooney and haven't heard of half the others, people young enough to barely recognise the grounds and lower camera quality of half the goals. I can remember dozens of better goals not even on the shortlist. There's people who'd put Cisse's goal on there already. New is better apparently. Yes, this. Its like polls that come up with OneDirection and PussyCat Dolls as the best bands ever, totally neglecting 60-odd years of fabulous music. Or how we get embarassing w*nk representing us at the Eurovision Song Contest. This should have been decided by a panel of experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 I voted for Bergkamp's goal against Newcastle. Simply the best goal I've ever seen. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 (edited) All overhead kicks are shinners to some degree, it's not possible to get your foot at the right angle to keep the ball down and get enough forward power whilst hanging upside-down otherwise, because you don't have the floor to push off to get the power to transfer to the ball that you do when you're shooting normally. I knows it, cos I scored this (props to Minty for the assist), which is definitely a teeny bit of a shinner, but awesome nevertheless. Amusingly this was last linked on the "Was Danny Wallace/Rory Delap's overhead better" thread on here last September. Not as good as Rooney's, but I did scored one from 45 yards similar to Cisse's once which was miles better than his.

Frank's cousin Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 It couldn't possibly be better, it wasn't scored for Man U ! Agree Rory's was better - would not have expected it to win given the way the voting in things work, but not to be even listed when Rooneys was is ludicrous and sums up wht these polls are really a waste of time...

St_Tel49 Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 it was a brilliant goal. and voted as such. Explain what makes it a better goal than all the other overhead strikes that you have ever seen. I saw Crouch score one equal to it playing for Saints reserves and he was on the eighteen yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank's cousin Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 For me the very best goals involve more than one touch or simply a long shot. However brilliant the shot is, be is Crouch, Cisse or countless others over the years. Every season has some brilliant long shots, but it takes something a bit different to be amongst the best and most memorable goals over 20 years or so. Amazing skill, dribbling round a few players, amazing team move and so on. Cisse's is a brilliant long shot, one of the best goals this season, but people are getting a bit carried away with it. I think the problem is, however good it is, and however unlikely it is a lesser player could do it, it is still possible. Some of Messi's goals I can't imagine another player on the planet being capable of. Scorers of classic great goals, be it Messi, Zidane, Bergkamp, Le Tissier, Maradona and so on, were rarely one touch goals. The genius is in the subtle touches, the skill, outwitting defenders completely and rounding it off with a decent finish. Ah... but Adrian what you are missing is for such goals to be voted the best, those voting would need to know something about football... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 It's sufficient that we had our player with the two first goals, whereas no other player had more than one in the poll. We know that if it wasn't for the glory teams' fans voting for their player that MLT would have won it, as either of those goals was arguably better technically than the others. And having seen the Delap goal again, yes, even that was better than the Rooney bicycle kick, but he scored it for an unglamorous club, so it never stood a chance. And why didn't the Chrissy Marsden football genius goal get included? See, the poll is a nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Jazzbo Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Its similar to people today voting for an Oasis album as being the best album ever made. Half the people voting weren't around to hear all the real classic stuff.

Or how we get embarassing w*nk representing us at the Eurovision Song Contest. This issue, like music, is entirely subjective. Don't get so excited because your opinion is not also held by the majority of people, enjoy it. You are special. This should have been decided by a panel of experts. Get a grip man. It's a bit of PR fluff to boost the profile of the league's around the anniversary, not a ****ing general election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
