Peter Crouch's goal against Citeh

Many will have felt that this much-maligned ganglester will have scored a remarkable goal yesterday, though there will be those who will feel that his effort will have been an ineviatble result of the placement of professional footballers on a field inorder to have attempted such feats.

Will we have had a vote?

Genuine GOTS contender. Not a GOTS winner.

ya what i figure tbh

less of the same (darraghmac), Sunday, 25 March 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link

Having said that, of course it will *actually* win GOTSs this year.

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 25 March 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link

Probably in the top five of the season. It's not as though he tries the same thing every match and one had to go in some time.

What was the goal that should've been GOTS last year? At this remove, in my memory they all look like Rooney's against City.

twp is p simian i doubt hes even seen a typewriter

They're kind of all true. It was a great goal and is a GOTS contender on its own merits. It was a hopeful cunting that wouldn't come off 95% of the time (or more). The fact it was Peter Crouch makes it all the more amazing*. The only thing missing was the robot celebration.

*though I've heard that he has a surprisingly good touch for a big man

really there's no wrong answer, i want to see yr processes tho

less of the same (darraghmac), Sunday, 25 March 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link

Better than Rooney's last year by an order of magnitude so no complaints if it wins GOTS.

that's an interesting assertion but you've not really put anything down that i can give you marks for

less of the same (darraghmac), Sunday, 25 March 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link

He teed himself up so gets the assist as well. Two very good touches of the ball against one fortuitous overhead shinning of it.

Upt0eleven, Sunday, 25 March 2012 21:28 (twelve years ago) link

didn't bounce from kickout, tbf

That's definitely true & it took your saying so to let me overcome what the 10,000 replays of that 'un has burned into my brain. Someone should ask for Joe Hart's view.

shld come 2nd in gots rundown, just losing out to rvi's volley v everton

Thoughts? You must have loads. (a hoy hoy), Sunday, 25 March 2012 21:46 (twelve years ago) link

i'd concede that yeah

less of the same (darraghmac), Sunday, 25 March 2012 21:52 (twelve years ago) link

feel like long range monsters don't win GOTS that often? so I would expect RVP to get it, barring further strong contenders, but would, personally, spring for Crouch so to speak

crouch has always had a weird little sideline in volleys and overhead kicks and other awkwardish feats of technique, people are coming out with this "hopeful cunting" faux shock as if dirk kuyt had done it

the uncannily smooth competence of it is what's striking moreso than crouch doing something cray basically

r|t|c, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 11:03 (twelve years ago) link

went with the good-willed cunting opinion. a bit like kicking a ball into a skip tbh.
