31Dec1966 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 For me, the Reach goal last season was better. Villas looked more spectacular cos it hit the bar. they always do, yes, it looks great. But Reach looked up, picked his spot with more accuracy and hit it just as good, in my opinion better because it arrowed in with inches to spare. A hairs breadth higher and the Villa one hits the bar and comes out. Anyway, all these goals are wonderful to see, but, in truth, are really hit and hope. The best goals are the ones after a superb passing movement involving a few players and creating a tap in. Jimmy Greaves scored nearly all his goals from close range, Bobby Charlton never looked up, he just blasted it in the right direction. One of the most iconic goals of all time was for Hursts hattrick and he admits he was booting it into the stand to waste time. Anyway, they all count!

People never seem to react the same with us as they do others or am I imagining things ?? I’ll be surprised if McGinn’s strike isn’t goal of the season if I’m honest. If I’d scored that, people would get bored of me talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 If anyone thinks McGinn would trade that goal for an extra 3 points they are so naive. Wins come and go, a goal like that is a once in a lifetime event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also easier for him to accurately aim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 All goals are subjective, it whatever flicks your switch. If you take your bias out of the equation pretend it was scored against another club then I would think most people would agree it was a goal worthy of goal of the season.

I would argue that Matias at Leeds was better than both techniques wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 In general terms OP has a point. The SWFC page on BBC Sport website is all about Steve Bruce not resigning.

Subjective doesn't seem to be a word nowadays.. Everything has to be binary...You agree with me or not.

The Dukeries Owl Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Agree about the McGinn goal, top class, but "Frank Lampards Derby County" makes we want to vomit, have they changed their name by deed poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the owls, I get the impression that the rest of the country views us as an unfashionable club from an unfashionable area of the country, the same for any other club around these parts. It’s just snobbery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside_Owl Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Like it or not, Bruce's future is the story out of the game. He nearly left the club in the summer, pressure is mounting from new owners and the fans are turning against him. Had we been up near the top of the table it might have been different. But midtable Wednesday winning isn't the news line I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because of an anti-Wednesday bias, especially on Sky? .........it was one of the best goals I've ever seen in my life. No, it's because you're so f'ing ugly . Was a good goal mind.

CraigSGM Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Some of our fans really do have a victim complex when it comes to the media. It's quite embarrassing. The fact is, in the eyes of the press, we're nothing to shout about this year. We finished 15th last year and haven't spent anything in the summer. At this point, we're probably seen to be mid-table. We've won a few, drawn a few and lost a few. Absolutely nothing to get excited about. Aston Villa on the other hand, despite their apparent financial woes at the end of last season, assembled one of the most expensive and technically impressive sides in the history of the division. Their failure to beat a mid table team is a glossier headline than a mid table team winning a game. And that goal. Regardless of the final result, it was one of the best bits of football you'll see this year in any division. It deserves to be the lasting memory of that game.
