Goianegra 4,710 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I heard that some team won a game 149 to nil, can anyone confirm this? I think they said that the winning team never got a touch of the ball however, because, the other team smashed the ball into their own net 149 times in protest of a refs decision. Imagine paying £23 to see a team hit their own net so many times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,857 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2002/no...ewsstory.sport5 The world record for goals scored in senior football, which has stood steadfast ever since Arbroath thumped Bon Accord 36-0 in 1885, has been smashed by a team from Madagascar. Farcical scenes quicky led to a basketball score as league champions AS Adema won a match 149-0, more than quadrupling the existing record - and without gaining possession between the first goal and the 149th. Their opponents, Stade Olymique L'Emyrne, took complete control of the national league game, reducing Adema to the role of onlookers, as they deliberately plonked the ball in the back of their own net 149 times, in protest over a refereeing decision. The English Football Association believe that the 149-0 scoreline represents a new world record. "I certainly think it's a world record," said the FA's historian David Barber. "I've heard of a local league game in Nottingham that finished 50-2 and there was a 43-0 in an Austrian regional game before the second world war - but nothing this big." Radio Madagascar reported on Friday that SOE scored the own goals against Adema as a protest after their coach Ratsimandresy Ratsarazaka lost his temper with the referee. Adema's players reportedly stood around looking bemused, doing nothing to stop the opposition from self-destructing. Strangely, SOE were no part-timers either - they were last year's Malagasy champions who surprisingly won through to the second round of the African Champions League this season. Adema clinched the Malagasy title last weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 766 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I think the world record is still Arbroath wen they won 36-0, unless this is a fairly recent event? Competitive game? Edit: looks like I'm wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hope there season doesnt come down to goal difference I'm surprised it didn't get to a point where the team scoring all the goals didn't start to feel sorry for their opponents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chookes 25 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Was it the same guy getting accredited with the own goal every time, or was there turns about? "Yeah, we lost 149-0. Jamal scored 149 own goals. Good day!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chookes 25 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 How many did the keeper get? Maybe he set a new world record? Giving the losing team a silver lining from all this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
