P&B Goal of the Week 5: Coulibaly and the Gang

[Sloop John B]

Firstly congratulations to Lionel Ainsworth for winning the inaugural P&B goal of the month, shocking the world by beating Leigh Griffths with this sexy lob on the opening day putting him on the shortlist for the Goal of the Season

However it's another month and another Souleymane Couilbaly screamer which is the bookies favourite with this absolute peach of an overhead kick, asserting himself as the most electrifying man in Scottish Football today

But there is actual competition this week from Iain Vigurs with a sweet strike into the top corner of the bar showing that you don't need to zing it to score a nice goal.

Niall McGinn  scored the opener that game with his second nominated goal of the season so far curling it into the bottom corner from the edge of the box

Shite camera work doesn't stop Steven MacLean from delivering a beautiful turn and shoot from outside the area, that pass from the Thistle player though...

and Finally Sam Nicholson keeps the Gorgie Juggernaut's strong start in scoring good goals up with a great control, dummy and laces shot into the top corner. Proving that there is a challenger to Celtic in this competition

I'd actually have had Armstrong's goal for Celtic as my goal of the week tbh. Worked from Celtic's left back position, over to right back, through the midfield. I think from start to finish the move was something like 14 passes all over the park without a Rangers player getting a touch.

As it is though, of those listed Vigurs gets my vote.

Went for Vigurs because 1) it was pretty much the only good thing he did in the game; 2) it went in off the bar which always adds to the goal; and 3) I don't know when I might get a chance to vote for an ICT goal again in this.

Liking these threads by the way.

Cheers, I'll make sure the next Josh Meekings goalmouth scramble makes the cut. That being said so far being good has little to do with scoring quality goals, County and Dundee are top half but their goals have zero #aesthetics. Which is deserving of a points deduction IMO.

Coulilaby - because I was there, and it was one of those strange moments where you half-heartedly clap when the opposition score.

We're making up for not scoring any screamers by letting the opposition do so.

Not a fan of that overhead kick tbh. He hits it right into the ground and it's the bounce that beats Bain.

 

MacLean for me. Lovely technique all round.

There aren't many but when Dundee concede at least it's spectacular with 1 weekly winner and Coulibaly will make it two. Greg Stewart and Gary Harkins  are big misses for quality goals

In terms of screamers  conceded the standings go with their 'goal difference' in brackets

 

Inverness: 5 (Scored 2, -3)

Aberdeen: 3 ( Scored 2, -1)

Hamilton: 3 (Scored 2, -1)

Kilmarnock: 2 (Scored 2, 0)

Partick Thistle: 2 (Scored 2, 0)

Dundee: 2 ( Scored 0, -2)

Hearts: 1 (Scored 4, +3)

Rangers: 1 (Scored 2, +1)

Motherwell: 1 ( Scored 1, 0)

Ross County: 1 ( Scored 1, 0)

St Johnstone: 1 (Scored 3, +2)

Celtic: 0 (Scored 4, +4)

 

As you can see going to Inverness games as a neutral almost guarantees you with 1.4 good goals a game thus making them a must watch team. Alledged 'Meh' teams like St Johnstone and Killie are packing in the excitement whilst Ross County, Motherwell and Rangers are all officially boring (outside of that one goal Ainsworth scored).

[well fan for life]

Went for Vigurs because he done another Iain Vigurs thing where he wanders around looking lazy before scoring an absolutely world class goal.
