It was as good a feeling as Caldwell's goal as we'd defended that lead for half an hour while Henry and co absolutely battered us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Any last minute winner. Can be a terrible match, it's pishing down and cold and you wonder wtf you bother coming every week then some scrappy winner goes in and your buzzing for hours after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkie84 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Headed goals. More so when watching in the stadium or playing as opposed to watching in T.V All goals are a great outpouring of joy but headed ones are even more instantaneous. With a shot , your team is generally has possession, builds a move, gets into a dangerous area then the striker shapes to shoot before the ball hits the net. You anticipate it a little. A headed goal generally comes from the ball swung in from out wide, from a not very dangerous position. The ball is not in anyone’s possession anymore, there is a 50/50 chance which team will touch the ball next. 9 /10 times it goes too long, is sliced out of play, gets cleared by a defender, caught by goalkeeper etc. It is not actually a chance untill the striker gets his head to it. An instant later it is in the back of the net. My favourite type of goal, especially in important moments in important games.

Header from a corner into a crowded box is amazing too for the same reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Walking away from Hampden this evening reminded me of another one. It is a big crowd of supporters taking over the roads in the vicinity of a stadium immediately after a game. I especially enjoy the looks of confusion and frustration on drivers' faces as they realise they are stationary and surrounded for an indefinite period of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I love players getting it right up opposition fans after a goal. Something as simple as cupping of the ears or a wee shush and you’ve got people of all ages from every walk of life utterly incandescent for a few moments. Sumptuous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll love the Orange Walk then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Waiting for the league fixtures; cup draws; the build up to a World Cup, or to a lesser extent the Euros, especially when Scotland are involved; winning cups. It’s really all about the hope and expectation. Cups offer that more than run of the mill league games. Nowadays, I am also involved with coaching a 2014s team and it’s all about seeing the enjoyment, enthusiasm and improvement in wee 8 year old boys and girls. That is much better than watching football. Edited January 16, 2023 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
