Gazza's goal against Scotland or Le Tissier's against Newcastle?

[Bad Wolf]

Which goal do you think is better? Having an argument with the misses. Le God or Gazza?

Mattys.

[Batman]

gazza's probably...given the occasion

[TwoPints]

Do you really have to ask? If your missus thinks Gazza, you've got the wrong missus. If you think Gazza, then you're very confused at best.

[Baird of the land]

Matt's obviously, a much better goal.

[Miltonaggro]

When Gascoine scored that goal the commentary went something like 'no other English player could have scored that goal!' As Saints fans we saw better week in week out in that era. Le Tissier scored ten better than that...

[Whitey Grandad]

Need you ask? MLT every time.

[Cascadia Saint]

MLT. Been saying that every time i've seen the Gazza goal since.

[St Jim]

LeTiss obviously. Gazza only flicked it past the last defender, whereas MLT controlled the ball that was passed behind him by a flick of his heal, clipped it past one defender all before he flicked it over the last defender.

 

No contest

[Victor]

I still think MLT's v Newcastle is the most unique and possibly the best individual goal I've ever seen.

 

Gazza's is more comparable with MLT at Anfield when he turns the defender inside out. The MLT newcastle goal is a different class starting from so far back and involving 3 outrageous pieces of skill, timing and composure.

 

"most unique"! tut, tut.

 

MLT's obviously. Agree probably the best I've seen and its context helped make it special.

[adrian lord]

MLT's - a far more complex set of movements and control.

 

Gazza's was wonderful and part of a superb tournament - the last decent England tournament and atmosphere in the country - but just not as special in itself.

Matt's

[alpine_saint]

Come on, you are all biased. There is sod-all difference in the quality of the goals.

 

EDIT: Just refreshed myself. I take it back. Light years of difference. Deffo Matty's

[sadoldgit]

Matt himself said that he scuffed the shot at the end. Not the cleanish finish but brilliant none the less.

[Ian the Red]

MLT, no doubt

[Bad Wolf]

Do you really have to ask? If your missus thinks Gazza, you've got the wrong missus. If you think Gazza, then you're very confused at best.

 

I, of course was saying Le God's. She was saying I was biased towards it because it was him who scored it and it was for Saints. I just think MLT's goal had a lot more to it than Gazza's. I'd say that no matter who I supported

[Kenilworthy]

MLT's was of course against vastly superior opposition than the Scotland defence

[Colinjb]

Gascoigne's finish was cleaner, struck the ball true but had far more space and a kinder start to the opportunity. Had MLT not scuffed the finish it may well have gone straight at the 'keeper.... yet his back-heel to begin the chance was exceptional.

 

On balance, Le Tissier.
