Nets

[TinFoilHat]

PL rules dictate a standard of netting, goalposts, length of grass etc.

There's three of our charges right there.

Our Goalposts are made from the bones of dead children. The Nets aren't ethically sourced and the grass we play on is illegal because we bought the seeds from B&Q which isn't a PL sponsor....

You can't beat box nets, goals always look better in them!

I must admit though, there was something about the ball hitting a "stanchion" and that sound it made that I miss though. Hard to describe!

They still use square wooden posts and crossbar in Scotland ;)

Always remember as a kid when I started watching, the nets at West Ham, QPR, Luton and Southampton were only about a foot deep

Mark Hughes put the ball in the net for Southampton, should have been a goal. But it rebounded out off the advertising board behind the net and the ref didn’t give the goal because he didn’t think it went in.

The ones at QPR were strung so tight they were a joke. If you hit the back of the net, it came flying back out twice as fast.

Not as tight as the ones at Coventry. Ask Clive Allen.

Nothing too niche for a perfect Monday morning.

OP should check this out:

Goal nets, posts, and stanchions of the 1980s

A look back at some of my favourite goal nets, posts and stanchions of the 1980s

Particularly like description of Deep Nets:

“The Hampden Park nets may have been pretty deep, but there were others around that seemed longer than the wardrobe that led to Narnia.”
