Gills goal - one of the best goals ever seen at the Lane?

[Silent Blade]

It was a wonder strike similar to Rodriguez's goal in the World Cup. I was gutted when it got in but have to admit that it was one of the best I have seen at the Lane

 

[S5Blade]

Agreed. Was amazing. When it flew in we all just looked at each other in wonderment. Quality finish

 

[sitwell]

Higdons was better and as for Murphys ,it was like Best against us.

 

[ThatJa]

Was clearly a fluke though,,,,,

 

[Pinchy]

Yes,stunning finish. Our lads showed great character, though. It would have been so easy to shrug and say "not our day"...

 

[metty]

Was clearly a fluke though,,,,,

Why a fluke?. It was one of the best strikes I've seen and Howard didn't have a prayer with it.

 

[Wards]

Unbelievable goal.

Judging by his next effort that went 30 yards up in the air you'd have to think it was a complete one-off as well!

 

[Northyorksblade]

But talk about against the run of play........

 

[boo radley]

Good but I'll raise you Michael Browns volley against the pigs for sheer Roy of the Rovers technique and look.

 

[JohnDenver]

Great goal but Murphy's dribble and finish matched it. Don't think I've seen a goal of that type by a blades player to match it.

I might have gone a bit nuts at that moment.

agreed

Now THAT was a quality goal (didn't go today so cant comment on gills goal)

Brown's goal against Birmingham in 2001-2 (I think). It was at the kop end and he looked like he was nearer the half way line than the goal area, but crashed it into the centre of the goal. Absolutely superb strike. Think we ended up winning 4-0?

West brom we won 6-0

 

[Northyorksblade]

agreed

That's SUCH a good feeling!

 

[WhiteHawk]

Less than 10 seconds before Gillingham scored, I said to my friend "They haven't even been in our box".......

I can and it was a stupendous goal but Murphy's was better.

 

[Latters]

Unbelievable goal.

The next one was a different player. I don't know any of their players' names, but the one that skied the next one had different coloured boots to the scorer.

 

[Wards]

Fair enough, they looked very similar!

 

[metalblade]

On Murphy's goal out of nothing, shades of Pesci against Forest. Currie's "quality" goal or even Tony Field going past the entire Ipswich team before scoring into kop end goal, superb football.

Or Steve Wigley v Blackburn on 16/11/85 - I think that remains the best dribbling goal I have ever seen at the Lane.

Yep 17/11/01 - Montgomery and Peschisolido 2 got the others. A very good result given Birmingham went up that season.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

agreed

Should have squared it, the greedy bastard

I've already christened it a Ricky Villa type goal.

 

[Selly]

I remember someone, and I want to say Chris Powell, getting an absolute screamer for Palace in a 3-2 win at the start of the 95-96 season at the Kop end. One of the 5 losses that started that season...

 

[WhiteHawk]

Did anyone notice how devastated the Gillingham players were? As though it was them that had battered us all game!

 

[metalblade]

I can't wait to see the 5 seconds of highlights on the football league show.

 

[Deadbat]

Dean Gordon I think it was. A swerving 30 yard shot past Billy Mercer. A great goal.

Yep, that's the name. I was day right behind it and if the goal hadn't been there to stop the shot, I'm not sure I would be!!!

On the way back from the game I heard Andy Giddins excellent commentary of the goal at the end of Praise and Grumble. Hope they play it again on Monday's Football Heaven.

Off the subject hope there are loads of photos taken at Ponds forge tonight and put on the forum
