Siobhan Hunter's Free Kick

[hibbyfraelibby]

40 yards into the top right. Must be a candidate for goal of the season, male or female.

[marinello59]

Superb goal.

[Cauld Bovril]

There was so much movement on the ball I thought it took a deflection at first. Cracking goal.

[#persevered]

It dips, it curves, right into the top corner from 40 yards out. An absolute worldie by any standards.

[Lancs Harp]

Get her in training with the boys next week, perhaps she could pass some tips on. :wink:

[snooky]

Anybody got a link?

[Brightside]

there was a slight deflection i thought?

[Lancs Harp]

Played for it :wink:

[CMurdoch]

Saw that the 2nd time i watched it.
Gave the ball the perfect trajectory.

[gaz1875]

Well played Hibees Ladies and cracking goal :not worth

[Cauld Bovril]

I think I better watch it again then :-D

[Jones28]

It was a peach, a proper belter.

Un. Stoppable.

[ancient hibee]

Would this be a first for a thread title?

[IGRIGI]

Roberto Carlos-esque

[hibbysam]

Certainly no deflection in the angle from behind the Hibs goal.. just a sweet strike and hit that pure that it moves twice. Outstanding strike.

Ahem, correction, his goals are Siobhan Hunter-esque. :cool2:

Take a bow, hen. That was brilliance; hit like George Albertz used to hit them for The Rangers.

Really needs to be on youtube:aok:

For sure. Could someone please post the link if it's put on YT?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Women's sport often faces sexist prejudice, but that was hit as well as any man could. Keeper takes a step to her right, is beaten by the power on the ball and can't get back across. It went like an arrow.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Boom !!! what a goal .... when you look at the men's teams pitiful long range shooting perhaps Siobhan should pop down to East Mains and give them some tips :greengrin

[monktonharp]

that was absolutely stunning. bit like the burd that scored it lol. her team mates looked amazed , when you looked at their faces. brilliant goal.:flag:

[cabbageandribs1875]

sure it looked like a very slight deflection on the 14 Alba replays, but it was indeed a thunderbolt of a FK and just as well the Keeper didn't get to it as she would have ended up in the net as well as the baw :cb reminds me a tad of the thunderbolts Peter Lorimer used to score for Leeds :agree:

Not dissimilar Gascoigne for spurs in the fa Cup final but much further out. If that was countinho it would be repeated endlessly on sky sports. Take a bow. I'd have loved to have scored a goal like that. Stunning.

[James70]

It was shown on BBC Sports news on the Breakfast show several times. Fantastic goal,Leigh Griffiths would have been proud of!

[Golden Bear]

A fantastic strike -no deflection as far as I can see!

[One Day Soon]

Is there any specific rule which would stop a female player from being signed and played in the men's team?

[Siralbertkidd]

Really needs to be on youtube:aok:

Yup. In fact, I'd say that very few men at any level of the professional game are capable of hitting a free kick as truly and accurately as that.

It really annoys me when men disparage women's football - if more resources, time, attention and publicity were given to the women's game it would be justice.

I've seen them on the Net - "Wee girls shouldnae be playin a man's game ..."

Dinosaurs Rule OK. :rolleyes:

[southsider]

Was shown on BBC sports news at 7am. Was just brushed over. Nobody even had the good grace to mention it. The quality of journalism on the BBC now is pretty pathetic.

[hhibs]

Great performance from our Ladies ,winners of the Scottish Cup..............again !

Hopefully this might inspire the Hibs mens team and get their shooting boots on !!

No deflection:

I thought at first it was a bit of a punt but from the replay it's a great effort to get the ball up and over the wall.

Good to see the Evening News give the girls a front page plug today.

Just watched a good bit of the game. Really impressed I must say.
Hunter's goal was worth the price of a season ticket alone.

What a Goal.. :top marks

[basehibby]

That is an absolute pearler - well worthy of clinching a trophy. Congratulations Siobhan and Hibs Ladies - you did us all proud

My nominee for Hibs goal of the season, doubt if it will be bettered.

Truly Roberta Carlos:not worth

[Jack]

I was in a pub uptown and it was on the news.

There were all sorts of people in, including a few Johnny Foreigner types.

Some missed the first showing, very few missed the replay as their mates pointed at the screen.

Awesome and then some!

[Firestarter]

Super Leigh disallowed goal comes right to mind. Take a bow, what a striker of the ball the ladies player is.

I Hate the Way Football clubs Promote " Show Racism the Red Card " and all that.. and Yet We Still Can't Accept the Female Race in our Game..

[Dashing Bob S]

A bit of class from Shibs/Shibso/Shibsey (select best banal football nickname for SH.)

I think that women and men are not separate races, but different genders. But I'm being a pompous fool as I've drank too much. Your broader point is on the money and more important than my pedantry.

[InchHibby]

Wonderful free kick, the power, the dip, Leigh Griffiths would have been proud of that. GGTTHL:flag:

If forced, I'd go with (phonetically) "Shevvy". Although there's nothing wrong with 'Shevon' as it is.

Shiv, as she’s known by her team mates, is a big Hibby. She regularly makes 40 yard passes onto a teammate’s boot, so finding a target as large as the top corner was easy. Great to see the girls getting some recognition.
Just need to get more fans along to their games next season.

[Jim Herriot]

Noticed that Shiv's goal was nominated for WSU goal of the month. You can vote at http://www.womenssoccerunited.com/november-wsu-gotm/
The other contenders are pretty good too.

I voted for her, but she's going to struggle to win. Some absolute belters in there.

Voted. We've single handedly swung goal of the month competitions on here before, let's do it again :greengrin

[snooky]

Yep, some cracking goals. All worthy winners. Excluding Siobhan's (the one I voted for), I liked goal no.2 the best.

The volley from the edge of the box (the Italian serie b game) was a bit special.

Just been confirmed that Shiv won November’s goal of the month.

Well deserved.

Glad my vote counted. :greengrin

She won with 65% of the vote!

Well done to Siobhan and the completely unbiased Hibee voters :greengrin

[hibbyfraelibby]

Fantastic result for her when you compare it to the competition. Get this on Hibernian Official and get her presentation done on Wednesday night...then get her stripped and on to take the free kicks against der rangers

[speedy_gonzales]

...then get her stripped
Ooooft, steady on sir!
