kwsaint Posted 2 January, 2013 Posted 2 January, 2013 Is it a 22-pass one-touch goal, a scorcher from the half-way line or a brilliant bit of acrobatics? Or something else?
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 January, 2013 Posted 2 January, 2013 The perfect goal for me is any one scored for the saints, even if it comes off the opposition!
Jack Posted 2 January, 2013 Posted 2 January, 2013 22 passes with lovely skill, finishing with an overhead kick from 45 yards.
paulwantsapint Posted 2 January, 2013 Posted 2 January, 2013 I thought I saw the perfect goal oct 93 v Newcastle But MLT said it wasn't quite
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 2 January, 2013 Posted 2 January, 2013 22 passes with lovely skill, finishing with an overhead kick from 45 yards. This is more less spot on what I was going to say. So hard to say though, and probably dependent on your age. For me, Becks on the halfway, Le Tiss lobbing Schmeichel in the 6-3 (may be biased as it was my first saints game), Cantona v Sunderland all really stand out - odd how they were all the 96/97 season. Hate to say it, but that Matty Taylor volley a few years back for Pompey from about 35 yards where it just fell out of the air was pretty amazing. Bastard.
CanadaSaint Posted 2 January, 2013 Posted 2 January, 2013 I'm with Joe Kirkup - and would still have been even if we hadn't scored it.
John Boy Saint Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 I like ones like Chris Bairds a few years ago, we all thought we had pigged up another free kick when Bale passed to Surman who seemed to miss it completely to a massive groan from the crowd then out of the blue Chris Baird, running in, launched it like an Exocet from outside the box into the back of the net, had the keeper got his hands to it his wrists would probably have snapped.

david in sweden Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Is it a 22-pass one-touch goal, a scorcher from the half-way line or a brilliant bit of acrobatics? Or something else? all those that are seen cross the line.....but especially those that win the points.
CB Saint Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Those that are conjured up from a bit of skill which make your jaw drop. e.g. The Roberto Carlos free kick
adrian lord Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Always makes one smile that. The packed standing terraces are a joy to behold, not just the sublime play.
brmbrm Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 This (or similar) for me. 35 yard scorcher? i've seen heaps of them in row Z, the ones that score are basically lucky random thumps. Slick passing, unplayable footy, thats the one.
Big_Bald_Si Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Any goal that's from outside the penalty area and goes in off the bar almost always makes me cream my pants.
Big Bad Bob Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Brilliant, it's got to be ball played out of defence, mainly on the ground, one or two touch passing with a tap in at the end......oh and throw in a nutsssss or two and I'd be well pleased.
John Boy Saint Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Any goal that's from outside the penalty area and goes in off the bar almost always makes me cream my pants. If you went to Stoke on Saturday Jeromes pile driver would have given you an uncomfortable drive home then!
The9 Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 (edited) Is it a 22-pass one-touch goal, a scorcher from the half-way line or a brilliant bit of acrobatics? Or something else? Anything that's given as a goal. I've scored with my arse and my c.ock, and whilst falling over and slicing it into the roof of the net from a yard, with an overhead kick at Dean Court, and from 35 yards against Pompey Online at Eastleigh, they were all worth just as many.

SaintWill71 Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 It's got to mean something. Nothing in a thunderbolt from 45 yards in the 91st minute in a 5-1 defeat
Colinjb Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 For me, it's as much about what the goal means as the technical ability that has made it happen. So, for the hit, what it meant and for the emotion involved there can only be one goal that is perfect for me: Matt Le Tissier v Arsenal, May 2001.
derry Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Don Roper for Saints at the Dell in the late fifties, leather ball, volley from centre circle under the diving goalkeeper hit the stanchion and came back out under the still airborne goalkeeper like a bullet. I've never seen a shot hit so hard before or since.
sussexsaint Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Difficult one - the goal can be about the emotion that goes with it as well. Few for me will beat Marians one against the skates - that meant so much on so so many levels, have never gone so mental about a goal ever Chaplows screamer against ManU was a good goal but it meant a great deal more - we were back and Pi**ing with the big boys having been 22nd in league 1, it made a lot of people look up and go 'bloody hell'
Nexstar Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 For me it has to be right out of the reach of the keeper, in the postage stamp. Milner's at Wigan is a good example:
Big_Bald_Si Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 If you went to Stoke on Saturday Jeromes pile driver would have given you an uncomfortable drive home then! Thank god I didn't go!
