I must admit I did like the goal Diame scored for Hull in that final at Wembley, but then again I've spent these years from that day sort of cursing him, in a good way that is🤭

This defiantly helped for me.  It's the best thing for mental health.

But what about the ice? 

It was a difficult transition for Alphonso - he had to relearn the game before heading to Germany...  he felt that playing on ice was much better but once he traded his skates for football boots he transitioned very quickly ....

The Leagues around Toronto are quite aggressive and ultra tense. Game highlights readily available on you tube. Some of the refs are real gems.  

back in late 70's when I lived in Hamilton Ontario my brother played for an English club (kids with English parents or immigrants) .. the on and off field hostility between clubs was legendary...  Hamilton Croatia, Hamilton Italians (not sure if that's the correct name) turned the league into a very ugly place at times... saw quite a few on field brawls with refs being escorted off by police....   Canada - land of opportunity - where all nations come to find a better life... .. oh and to have big racial brawls at football games... Awesome!!!!

Oh, and absolutely nobody applauded wonder goals for the other team...

Never done it. Might have muttered ‘that’s a reyt goal’ but nothing more.

I remember Kewell scoring at the Leppings Lane end in our relegation season and people clapping. Wanted to punch them all, but as I was / still am soft as sh11te I didn’t.

Same here, muttered something but never actually clapped or anything. You’re a simp if you do that

The Volley from Brown for WBA a long, long time ago I can still remember. January made me shiver with every Green-Un I deliver. Bad news on the door step, I couldn't make one more step.  

Yes it was a brilliant goal and we all went Wow what a goal...the best applause I can remember when Michael Owen scored that hatrick at 17 years old...it was the only time I heard all the stands applauding a visiting players goal

Watching Big Match Revisited, those old footage shows how we've changed, I don't think I've ever clapped for a wonder goal against us ever, couple of fingers and a waving of fists but never clapping. Does it happen anywhere now? 

Never have, never will.

Back in the days before fans were segregated you could have a conversation with opposition fans and and some good banter, clapping good goals by the opposition wasn't exceptional. It was allways interesting to get views on players from a different perspectve. It didn;t make anyone less fanatical about their own team, just more civilised

I don’t do it but it annoys me far less than  clapping ex players when the come on / score . Can’t fathom that for the life of me

Why would you not clap an ex player who was brilliant for us eg John Sheridan when he played for Oldham? I’m not saying clap when they score , but nothing wrong to clap when an ex player is introduced.

Never have and never will, any goal against us has been engineered by our own mistakes. So why would I want to clap someone who scores a goal from our mistake !!    UTO 

30 yard screamer = why did you leave him room to shoot?

dribbles past 4 men or more before placing ball in corner = why didn't anyone tackle him?

bullet header from 12 or more yards out = where was the marking?

 

Does that just about cover it? lol

I missed out the spectacular curling 30 yard free kick. You can cover that one!

I've clapped a few opposition goal's at Hillsborough over the years, not many.

The one that got me up out of my seat although technically not scored by opposition to the Owls was Davor Sukar's sublime chip for Croatia in Euro 96. I was sat bang behind/in line him as he did it - simply fantastic, kind of I was there moment that.  

I was in line with it as well. We were probably  a few seats away from each other. When they show a slow motion replay from behind Suker I could pick myself out. Certainly was a wow moment made better with Schmeichel  being the keeper.
