Best Goal you`ve seen in the flesh

Andy Halliday's cup winner in 2016 was a peach.

Ralph Callaghan v Dundee. I'll never forget it. Fantastic skill and tantalising anticipation as he could have put it away after the 1st, 2nd,3rd and 4th challenges only to slot it home after he had sat down the 5th defender.

Apart from Sir David's at Hampden. What a goal Callachan scored if only there had been TV cameras there. I was sure he beat the 5 defenders twice before slotting it home.

Count myself lucky to have been there. Outstanding skill from Ralph and it did seem like the old joke of the ball being tied to his boot. Iirc correctly he didn't even slam the ball home, just slipped it into the net after dodging the keeper. Wish it had been captured by the telly. What I do remember is the extended applause he got after the initial celebrations died down. Well deserved.

Didn't see it myself but that was the one described in the newspaper as "the goal of this, next, or any other season"

Or words to that effect... Must have been some goal..

Trust me it was unbelievable & most of it entailed Ralph dribbling along the goal line from the right corner flag down the slope. The finish was the icing on the cake. IIRC Ralph went round the keeper, moving off the goal line & leaving himself the empty net to score into. Insted of knocking the ball in however, Ralph put his foot on it as the keeper & a defender (or maybe 6) threw themselves in front of where they thought the ball was going. Once they had all stopped bouncing along the goal line Ralph rolled the ball in & calmly walked away. Quite amazing!

Slightly off-piste but the best reaction to a goal from my son was this (definite hibs content)

Early 2017, Hibs stayed on course to retain our Scottish Cup by knocking out Ayr Utd 3-1, though the goal of the game was by McGuffie of Ayr who arrowed a perfect rising drive into Rocky's net from 25 yards.

Fast forward 6 weeks & we had the once in a lifetime chance to go to El Clasico, at the Bernabeu, Messi v Ronaldo, finished Real 2 Barca 3 (messi holding up his shirt to the crowd at the late winner).

The goal we loved that game was Ivan Rakitic scoring for Barca. A show stopper of a 25 yarder that arrowed & rose majestically into the roof of the real net.

"WOW DAD! THATS JUST LIKE RYAN MCGUFFIE" yelled the young Leith kid sitting on my right....

Aw man, the excitement after that Agathe goal. I was wondering what we had on our hands. Not for long.

PS
Boy in a white shirt about 3 seats above the LH upright cannot contain his delight.

One worth a mention is a goal that was disallowed.

Deek scored an absolute peach of a volley at Easter Road vs Dundee under Mowbray (sure it finished 4-4 & I think the goal would have made it 5-2 if it had stood). It was a ball over to Deek on the left hand side and he absolutely pinged a left footed volley from just outside the box from a relatively wide position across the 'keeper and into the net at the back post.

It was disallowed for offside but it was a screamer.

I forgot about Andy Goram's kick out against Morton that ended up in the net from our own box :D Late 80s I think.

I remember the embarresed handshake with Gordon Rae. The Morton keeper was beaten two or three minutes after Beastie had beasted him at a corner. He was probably concussed. We went to the Centre Stand too that day but I'm not and never have been WCH girlfriend

Who was the Scottish lad who scored a complete raker against Iceland in the U21 match at ER? (Lost, they had absolute quality in the team) That as probably the best goal I’ve seen at Easter Road come to think of it. Lee McCulloch of all people scored a absolute worldy against Ukraine at Hampden in the group we got cheated out of too.

Chris Maguire. Scored from the centre circle immediately on the restart.

Sigurdsson scored two world class goals in that game too.
