beararse 6,324 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Pele couldn't score from his half, in the centre of the pitch with no fucker near him on a bone dry pitch in Mexico. Roofe wins the ball not once but twice (with a wee back heel nutmeg thrown in), rides a challenge, outflanks a player, then skelps it at pace as soon as he gets the opportunity whilst heading towards the touchline and away from the centre of the goal. The fact it was a water logged pitch and absolutely pissing down makes it even more surreal.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornabear 6,186 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The simple fact is, that goal will be talked about for years to come and by more people than anyone can ever imagine. That's how good it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Talk about a way to win a game. Roy of the Rovers stuff. There was I urging him to punt it out and run down the clock but he had other ideas. Just brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,242 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 It gets better each time. Taking out players before shooting and on a pitch that was a water park. Just outstanding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drumloyal 14,767 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Watching it again, if it had bounced a few yards out it might have held up and not went in but he managed to drop it right on the line, pinpoint bounced right smack bang on the line. Jesus. 😮 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just outstanding I thought the game was going to get stopped at one point it was just one giant puddle, we coped with it better than them and I thought they were easily one of the best teams we have faced. Was a tremendous result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't surely take on the full team and score. After 20 seconds, all I could do is smile, doff my cap and think that's how he scored from there. Switch the notifications off man! During the game these days I switch off notifications and put my phone to silent incase anyones link is quicker than mine. Had more than a few goals ruined as people have messaged before I've seen it. Glad I did it last night as trust me, watching that live and not knowing what was about to happen was 100x more exhilarating than knowing what was coming.

Swally 6,289 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think part of the reason that it was so amazing was it looked highly unlikely anything would come from him having the ball in the first place, never mind getting a goal from it. He was surrounded by 3 players, just back from injury, not been hugely impressive for us since he signed, playing in awful weather conditions, no help round about him, and odds on to lose the ball. I think most of us were annoyed at the management team for bringing on an injury prone player, just recovering in such awful footballing conditions. Scuds the three players round about him then BANG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot wait to see how he performs going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
