Most Extraordinary Goal Ever?


Recommended Posts

'left winger' and 'Creampuff', can't directly reply as there's nothing to quote and don't want to take up unnecessary bandwidth by copying your uploads...

Had forgotten about that Scott Nisbet goal! Sublime!!!

Creampuff, that was just a wicked reply!!! :redcard:

If OK to stay on this, how about... the best OG ever...?

Most extraordinary goals and  match.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbados_4–2_Grenada_(1994_Caribbean_Cup_qualification)

"The organizers of the tournament imposed a rule requiring all matches to have a winner and had chosen an unusual variant of the golden goal rule, which meant that the first goal scored in extra-time not only won the match, but also counted as double. Barbados started the match needing to win by a margin of at least two goals to qualify for the final tournament. When Grenada scored late in normal time to bring the scoreline to 2–1, Barbados deliberately scored an own goal to force extra-time, where they could get the two-goal winning margin they needed thanks to the unconventional golden goal rule.[1] This meant that for the last 7 minutes of the match, Grenada was trying to score on either their own goal, or the Barbados goal, as either outcome (either 3–2 or 2–3) would have advanced them to the finals. Ultimately, Barbados was able to prevent Grenada from scoring, obtain the 30-minute time extension, and score the golden goal as hoped."

That's mental!!

Cheers for same... reminds myself of watching a Junior Cup Final, played at Firhill... must have been circa 1966-68. IIRC, a new rule had been brought in, that if the game ended in a draw, as it did, the winner would be decided on who won the most corner kicks.

I would only have been 8-10 years old at the time...

Am I imaging this?
