What sort of goals do you like?

Xavi6

Something a little bit different for this fine Tuesday afternoon.

Simple question - what type of goals do you prefer?


Continental Goals


Framed Goals


Classic Netting Goals


The English Traditional Goals


5-aside Goals



For me it has to be the continental ones ever since Italia 90 when the ball used to get buried in them.

yep, continental goals for me.

for the exact same reason as Xavi posted.

there's just something about the way the ball nestles in the back of the net. it makes the goal seem all the sweeter.

mmmmmmmmm.

the classic one is such irish club football with the ball dribbling out under the net after a goal and someone having to run after it before the game can restart.

Bogball goals. Even if you hit it over, you still get a point.

Hehe, thought this was a thread about the type of goals - 30 yarders, volleys, etc - people like. Great thread! And continental goals, with coloured nettage.

I'd have to say my favourite are the continental goals, when you score in them it doesn't hit a bar in the top corner, like in the traditional english goals, in the continental goals the ball just nessles in the corner corner:D

Seriously, I've always had a little fetish for Continental goals but didn't think anyone would ever want to discuss it...

I remember I went on holidays to Genoa as a 12 year old in 1991 (a year after Italia 90) and there was a dusty pitch beside the beach we used that had these type of nets at either end. I spent hours upon hours on that holiday, slamming my football into the roof of the nets. Didn't bother playing any footy on the beach

My life is complete now that this is out in the open!

So the summer has kicked in eh

Continental definitely. The ball doesn't roll down the net, rather looks like busting through it.

So what's your favourite humming sound?

Continental for me too. You have to have net billowing.
Although they do get a demerit for stanchions which sometimes make wide shots look like they've gone in.

Continental. Nice to see the ball trying to burst thru

Now now, can't we all agree that continental goals are best, simply because they gave Cantona something to swing on after scoring in his comeback?

Simply Red

Definitely continental, nothing better than seeing the ball blasted into the top corner and nearly bursting through the net

Ah here, it went over the height of his arm when it's stretched up, deffo over

No way, he was leaning backwards.

We had the jump rule in effect so you got "Ah he never jumped for it" "He didn't jump high enough" and "Sure he landed before the ball got near him".

Oh and "He was off his line and it looped over him".

Who can forget about good old trees too :P

Anyway, Continental for me.

Continental, goals look far better.

At last, some genius has found a useful purpose for those bus shelters we see littered around our towns and cities. There's nothing better than having a quick game of heads and vollies while waiting for the 56A..........

Moving goalposts, won me many an internet argument!

Some of the USA '94 nets were my favourites, not sure what category they fall under though - high, deep, not too tight but tightly knit together...

I would like for Newcastle to return to the classic netting (with pattern) they had at St. James' for the Premiership up until the 96/97 season.
