Rooney's Derby Goal

Mekrel said:
Yeah, it's certainly nothing special, we see goals like this week in, week out. No wait, we don't.

Goals like that are scored week in week out,, just not by Rooney :rolleyes:

Mekrel said:
Fair enough, it's not the most amazing goal ever, but calling it nothing special is either you being a bitter Spurs fan or you must pull this off week in week out during Sunday league. Which one is it?

For me his volley against Newcastle is his best one.

LuLz at the, "he was only 10 yards out" "shinned it" and "Only cuz it's Rooney" comments.

Anyone that has played football at any decent level will tell you how hard that is to do, I scored one very similar once, the only time I have ever really connected properly, ended up hitting an Astra.

For all the people that didn't think it was that special, have a look through the best over head kicks ever in the history of professional football. You will only find 2 examples that even come close, Rivaldo's and Trevor Sinclair's. Now for something that wasn't very good and is easy to execute, why is there not one of those every week to discuss?

Why is it most people on here have the reading abilty of a three year old.

Are you saying he meant to flip over then shin it and get it exactly where it went?

Bicycle kicks are by and large, lucky, Rooney's tried them before and missed, as have MANY players, they are ALL rather lucky when they go in.

Is this the best goal ever at Anfield? For a guy whose massively less agile than Rooney, he flips over and kicks it with his foot, its still lucky, and Crouch has missed loads before aswell. Infact despite hating Crouch and thinking he's utter rubbish, its quite impressive how many times he's willing to throw himself about like that as he's a gangly freak just asking for a dodgey landing.

Here's the thing, people instantly went WAY overboard just because its Rooney and started proclaiming things like, best Rooney goal ever, best goal at Old Trafford, goal of the season.

All those things are rubbish, most people aren't saying its a rubbish goal , or its crap, or Heskey's got one of those before, its just not THAT good.

Then you get the usual internet rubbish, people who can't comprehend English and the other lot, that only accept two possibilities, somethings either the bestest thing ever, or rubbish, so anyone not agreeing this is the best goal at Old Trafford ever, are also calling it the worst goal ever scored by a professional footballer.

Give over, its a decent goal, it had an element of luck, he did infact shin it, most people infact don't intend to shin the ball, it almost certainly wouldn't have gone to the same point had it hit his foot. So what, that doesn't make it rubbish, its just a long cry from the best goal of the season/old trafford/the universe.

Gimp, I really don't see how you can classify only 2 other bicycle kicks as being close, a bicycle kick is rare, difficult, and look pretty cool, but it was a completely bog standard bicycle kick from not very far out. It didn't win a champs league final, it wasn't from 35 yards, he didn't get 3 metres in the air, it didn't loop over several defenders.

Sorry but, where is it "better" than ANY other bicycle kick that has scored, what exactly makes it, say theres been 200 bicycle kicks scored in the league, or in the world, ever, what makes it no.3 instead of joint 98th?

At this rate it will be the most over rated goal ever. It was a good goal, nothing more, nothing special at all.

I remember seeing it on MOTD last night and I just thought "Is that it?"

You ****ed?

Any idea how hard that is to do in practice let alone a HUGE derby match.

Your the kind of guy to call Football, Soccer.
 
Just saw this on the bbc feed...

"Jermaine Beckford vs Bristol Rovers from 2007 for Leeds, an overhead kick that nobody knows about, from the edge of the box into the top corner, look it up!"

Can't find a video of it, anyone see it?

Not that hard, you win some and you lose some. Hit and hope, some fly into row Z and others fly in the top corner. I've scored many overhead kicks... except when I've done it I tend to connect with my boot as intended rather than my shin. Looks better and the ball travels a lot faster :p

Like I said, good goal but nothing special.

You're the kind of illiterate muppet who comes onto forums to try and have a pop at people and ends up looking a bit silly...
 
It was a fantastic goal.

What made it even more special is that it was scored 10 minutes from time in a very difficult derby game, by a player that a lot of people are questioning.

If you cant even admit it was an excellent finish and are trying to palm it off as lucky, then you're really very clueless.

Of course you need a bit of luck, as with anything in the entire game. Duh.

Yes you have scored many overhead kicks in the most demanding league in the world. Comparing yourself to this, wow.

Like I said, good goal but nothing special.

If you're going to put words in my mouth then you're basically just arguing with yourself.
 
Fantastic technique to strike the ball like that and an excellent goal but it's not a wonder strike or something only players of Rooney's class are capable of. Fact is goals like that are scored at every level of football every single week.

At least your trying Chong that's all that matters.

Can't believe people are trying to down play his goal. Its goal of the season contender. Its not the greatest goal ever scored, we know that. You won't ever see another goal like that again, not in that fasion anyway. Thats what makes it so special.

It's just because people hate Rooney, I'm not his biggest fan by any means but I'll put up with him on my team :p

If Messi had just done that in the dying stages of El Classico, certain people in this thread would have been kissing his feet (even more) :)
