Rooney's goal tonight

[DaveM]

Hi All I don't usually post but my son and SKY are raving about Rooney's goal (which was great) and about Beckam's years ago. I've told my son about a Peter Cormack goal that was just as good. I can't remember who it was against and whether it was on TV. My son thinks I'm havering. Can anyone help.

[Scouse Hibee]

Ach Rooney's goal was okay nothing else.

[givescotlandfreedom]

It was a tap in

[HH81]

Foul in build up. Rooney is a cheat.

[Sir David Gray]

Goal of the season.

[leggeto]

Was it a half way effort like Chico and paddys

[Scouse Hibee]

Goal of the season.


Nah not for me, too much luck involved and a dodgy keeper. ****** Scouse Git.

[YehButNoBut]

Good strike but dodgy keeping

Chico the week before topped that too

[shagpile]

I seem to recall a similar goal by Iain[?] Ferguson for Dundee Utd against hearts?

[Eyrie]

Chico the week before topped that too

Alloa in the cup :agree:

[Pretty Boy]

There's obviously luck involved but to attempt that and execute it so well is still very special.

[thebakerboy]

Missed that one went to the loo just before he scored and game wasn't on TV so pleeeeeaaaase stop going on about it.:boo hoo:

[duffers]

Goalkeeper error or not? To me, keeper definitely could have done better

[#FromTheCapital]

Keeper made a zibby of it

[easty]

Beckham's was better. Sullivan couldn't have stopped Beckham's, but the keeper tonight should have saved Rooney's.

[3pm]

Sublime.

[Eyrie]

Beckham's was better. Sullivan couldn't have stopped Beckham's, but the keeper tonight should have saved Rooney's.

From the camera on halfway I thought the ball moved in the air. Problem was that the keeper was too busy looking where he was going to look at the ball so ended up at the wrong post.

[SaulGoodman]

What bright spark at the BBC thought it would be a good idea to put Russell Brand on MOTD?

I'm not wanting to take anything away from the goal tonight. Great vision and technique by Rooney. The keeper, though, has totally misjudged it, he shouldn't be that far away from it when it bounces. If a keeper plays a long clearance and an opposing defender watches it for 80 yards, they're never that far away from it.

[Pete]

I think I've just seen a better one from Tettey.

[Sir David Gray]

I think I've just seen a better one from Tettey.

Yep it's certainly up there.

Cracking hit.

Yaya Toure's third goal wasn't bad either.

[LancashireHibby]

Tettey
Toure
Rooney

In that order.

[Speedy]

I'd say Delph's goal is goal of the season so far.

If it's the one I think it was, it was early-season 1967 or 1968, against Dunfermline at ER. Hibs were 1-0 up from an OG by Roy Barry - Barry had played the ball back to the keeper (Bent Martin, a Dane) not realising the keeper had come out for it. Later in the half Peter got the ball almost on the halfway line and spotted Martin well off his line again, so he lobbed him, just like that, perfect pace, perfect placement from (I would guess) 50-55 yards. IIRC he was very close to the Main Stand touchline, just inside the Hibs half.

It wasn't on TV - in those days we only got on TV when we were playing the OF or Hearts.

Absolutely. That was a great goal.

Thanks I have shown this to my son. It's a relief to know someone actually understood what I was on about. Probably why I don't post.

You mean Kasami?

[oramhibee]

What about John Rankin's "squiggler" against Celtc? That was a cracker!

yes remember it well, he was round about the half way line as there keeper came out and punted the ball but cormack trapped it and smacked it into the top corner thats how i remember it.

[Tom Hart RIP]

That Dunfermline game was my first. I remember the goal well and mentioned it to Peter Cormack recently and he remembered it.
I recently found the programme in a shop.
Tiny Wharton was the ref.
Been hooked ever since.
My next game was the following month v Naples.
Bit different from yesterday

I remember it well as I was in the east terracing that day. It was a cracking goal. One of those shots that you know is going in as soon as it leaves the player's boot.

[Tom Hart RIP]

I seem to remember the Dunfermline goalkeeper cleared the ball from edge of box to Peter who was standing inside the centre circle and he first timed it over his head. Could be memory playing tricks though.

Brilliant goal, that was definitely better than Rooneys!!

[oregonhibby]

I remember playing at Leith Links for the Dirty Windaes pub in a bounce match with a number if former Hibs Players in both teams. Jimmy O'Rourke was playing in our side and Stan Vincent was in goals for the other.


Anyway, the ball broke on the half way line and I saw Vincent on the 18 yard line and I chipped him (blootered) to score. The centre half said to Jimmy that it was lucky and Vincent was only 5ft 5! The next statement made me feel like Pele! Jimmy said to the centre half he was talking crap because I had to see the chance to take it and that it was a great goal.

Nae cameras though! Didn't need them cos a hero had said what he said!

[oregonhibby]

The free kick on half way?

That's the one.

Sorry for the music but it gives you better angles...

The goalie looked at fault for me, Bekchams was better. Still a great strike by Rooney though. For me Matty Taylor's beats them both for Pompey, closer in but what a hit!

Early 90's, the guy behind the bar was an ex Hibs player from the 50's. I think. Any idea who that would have been? I have been trying to remember for years, my memories of time spent in there are a bit blurred. :greengrin

Brilliant hit by Taylor, he scored a few like this, there was one against Stoke which was about the same distance out.
