An unwanted record shed...

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

No longer the side against whom the longest ever goal was scored. Thank you Tom King:

Tom King: Newport keeper sets world record with Cheltenham goal - BBC Sport

[Wurzel]

How long in metres was the longest goal ever scored was a question on Richard Osman's House of Games recently. I got it spot on. The shock of it happening against us must have stuck it away in the back of my mind.

As for this latest effort, I didn't think a goal could be scored direct from a goal kick - a quick Google search proved me (not for the first time) wrong.

Don’t store them in a shed, the damp will distort the vinyl.

and i was surprised to know what would happen if the keeper threw the ball into the opponents net (obviously from his own box, otherwise that would be handball).

Could be wrong, but I think Shilton scored one against us when he was at Leicester. It was so foggy that apparently he didn't know he'd scored

He'd be lauded for having a seriously long throw?

For a second I thought Burnley beat Liverpool 10-0 but then I realized this thread was created before the game started. 😂
