Was Rooney's the greatest goal ever scored at the swamp?

[crublue1]

get real. all bicycle kicks are a lottery.
the deflected cross has no relevance to the outcome of the attempt.
the ball comes across and its an instinct thing. you either look a total nob as you miss the ball, put it in row z, out for a throw in etc. or your a kin hero as it goes in the only part of the goal not covered by the keeper.
unfortunately today it came off for him, hate the spud faced twat but the idea and execution was as good as ive seen.
lets not demeen ourselves by pretending otherwise.
if it was any of our players scored that goal we would be power wanking over it for months and with good reason.
we more than matched the rags yesterday. we lost to goal of the season.
they know it
not sure we do

I think the poster above you means how the actual shot went off Rooney's shin, not that Zaba deflected it towards him.

and i think the poster can think for himself?

I disagree about the execution being perfect. He got too far over it, and was early on it, that's why it hit his shin.

Goal of the season? Yes, if the Giggs rule applies.

Nobody said he executed it perfectly. He did execute it very well though. He knew where he wanted it and it ended up there. I wouldn't be surprised if it wins goal of the season, if goal of the season takes into account importance of the match and any other factors i.e. he plays shit for 10 months then does that against his cross city rivals and he plays for United then I wouldn't be surprised to see him win it.

nailed on for goal of the season
nothing to do with who he plays for or who he scored it against or who is judging or the importance of the goal etc.
just simply a world class goal from a player in shit form. lets show are class by politely applauding. knowing that are time is so close we can taste it.

Lucky goal at the theatre of debt

There, all fixed.

One of the best individual goals I've ever seen, overheaders are always hit or miss but he definitely hit it and he hit it with power, you can call it luck but he had the vision and awareness to go for it and time it to near perfection. I take my hat off to the fat ugly bastard, he's got a bit of talent...

It could have gone anywhere. This is the difference between the scum and all other teams, even when they're playing s**t they still have the confidence/arrogance to try something like this and with their never ending good fortune it invariably comes off for them.

Could you really imagine any City player attempting this, even if we were 3-0 up with 5 mins to go, we don't have the kind of arrogant mentality.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

how does a shinned shot from a deflected cross become the greatest goal?, good lord!!!

'Cos it was popped in by the home side resplendent in their scarlet devil tunics. Don't yer remember the 4-3 from last season. BaconFace was quick to face the cameras with 'Probably the greatest derby ever' shit. Now he comes out with the greatest derby goal ever. Surprise, fuckin' surprise! And it doesn't take long for the media rag whores to follow suit. I feel sure that MANUre have a similar loyalty scheme as MCFC do with ticket sales. One positive mention 10 loyalty points, one paragraph drool 25pts, one sustained arse lick 50 pts, and a generous tug of the old tosser's cock 100pts.
