Tavernier Goal From 45 Yards


Captain Hilts

Recommended Posts

Execution was flawless but there's more to it than that.

There's the vision to notice the GK off his line. Actually he wasn't that far to be fair.

Then there's the decision making. This includes the bottle to take the abuse of your team mates if you make a cunt of it. James McFadden's goal against France was like this. As he was shooting from a ridiculous range Barry Ferguson asked, "Whit ye dain...". Not that it mattered in the end since we still didn't qualify but it got me a night oot with the resultant 5 o'clock kick off against Italy in the last game of the groups.

GK doesn't look that far off his line to be honest; I just think he doesn't expect it. Although he has plenty of time to watch it coming in, so really should be getting that, overall some bottle to crack it from there, and very poor GK'ing.

Not sure where this turns out "a freak goal" as you can see he takes a couple of touches while looking up and we all know how well he strikes a ball. Not sure if a ball into the box from there could be seen as a wayward pass. Cannot believe we got Tav,Waggy and Kiernan as a job lot for 600K.
