Can anyone remember the last proper own goal we scored. I don't mean like the JR one against Burnley or a deflection whilst trying to defend but a pass back or header back to your own keeper that left him stranded.
 



I don't know if there's been one since but remember Robinson heading one in past Verrips in that 4-0 defeat at WBA last season that Ramsdale allegedly refused to play in.
 
I once scored a hatrick of own goals for my Sunday morning side in a 13-4 defeat at the hands of the best side in the league containing at least 4 ex-pros. The first two were unlucky but the 3rd was an overhit passback from outside the area that I curled into the bottom corner. That was a bad day at the office. Didn't even get to keep the match ball.
 
not sure when it was but i remember brian gayle scoring one to give dirty leeds the league title 😢

I bagged an OG on my first 11 a side game when I was 13. Winger sent in a low cross and I went to knock it out for a corner but coolly slotted it into the bottom corner, 10 minutes later I scythed someone down in the area and gave away a penalty.

Swapped to a striker the game after and scored twice, needless to say, I was not put back in defense.
 


JLT at 0.33 displaying his lack of aerial prowess. If only Mcgoldrick had scored straight from the kick off could have been a different game.
 
Anyone remember Tommy Cowan's late flying header own goal against West Ham?

Don't recall that but I think he did a last minute diving header backpass at Upton Park that the referee inexplicably gave as handball, giving them an injury time pen that I think Julian Dicks equalised from.

Was genuinely one of the worst decisions I've seen.
 



Oh you youngsters.
Eddie Colquhoun was the king of own goals and the cool as fuck walk away, head held high, with the "anyone mentioning this will be getting nutted" expression. It was almost worth the minus goal to watch such a display of quiet dignity and explicit threat of violence.
 
When I was 15, I was really small but played in goal.
My tiny hands, coupled with table tennis bat grip gloves, meant I really struggled to catch the ball. The manager was forever telling me to punch it.
One match a high lofted far post cross came over and as I was following it in the air, I heard the manager shouting "Punch it, Billy, punch it!"
Confidence got the better of me and I thought "I've got this" The euphoria of catching it mid air was almost orgasmic.
However...

My back pedaling momentum caused me to take a few steps backwards as I landed, The path of these few steps coincided with the post. Which I hit, quite hard while the ball was still above my head in both hands. Now, this caused the ball to pop straight up in the air. I had no idea where it was until it struck me on the side of my forehead and I had to watch it trickle over the line as I collapsed forwards into my six-yard box.
I wonder how many Goalkeepers have scored an OG with a header?

My memory is terrible. It was the diving header I was thinking about. The one when he had his arms by his side as well.

Haha, I thought I was the only one who had done this. Mine was the perfect hatrick too, left, right and a header from outside of the box!!
My kids still take the piss put of me now for it and it was over 15 years ago.

Ramsdale admitted he refused to play in order to force the move.

Cunts trick but he's at the World Cup now, so..

Yeah heard that interview and how he justified it. He is a cunt as the Arsenal doco shows. Never rated him, he still dives so low and flat.
You may be able to tell, he is not my cup of tea at all.

I rarely played in goal because I was shit at it. But, I was playing for the company I worked for against some lads from another company on the same industrial estate, just a kick about. It was my first game for ages, my touch was awful and I was blowing out of my arse so I said stick me in goal for a bit.
The ball came to me and I thought it was a back pass and I couldn’t handle it. Some kid was closing me down quite quickly and for a reason I’ll never know, I thought it would be a good idea to do a drag back before I cleared it, to give myself a bit of space. I didn’t realise how close to the goal line I was and as I dragged it back, I took it over the line. Never played in goal since, never will.
 
For OGs I only think of the a bladey signing who got away, Chris Brass at York city. Facing goal, wellies it into his own face, broke his nose and scored the OG against Bury.
I think he is the one who was later made manager, and York ended up in national league north in double quick time.😅

If it’s anything like my Sunday league experience, is that because the match ball had been punted into a nearby garden and was irretrievable?
