MrDust Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Harry Kinnear said: I’m going to say something wild here but looking at McGuffies first goal on the highlights and luckily being able to say I was present in the stands for both, I think McGuffies goal is better that Stainrods. He had to control it and hit it on the volley, plus he was a tiny bit further out. Both were belters though but that’s just my opinion. Stainrods for me was an actual shot and was rising going in the net as far as I remember, I think that sets it apart for me. The halfway type shots are generally a golf shot towards the goal, Stainrod's for me will always be different, by fuk taking corners outside of the foot...we were blessed 1 hour ago, Springfield said: If I recall Gods was from a near stationary ball, both brilliant strikes but McGuffies first touch was sublime. Some supporters will go through a lifetime and never see one like McGuffies, privileged to have seen two.

That's what I always remember....the fact that it was still rising when it hit the net.....well that & Lyndsey Hamilton scrambling back in his pink goalie outfit ....but yes great composure & picked his spot....which sounds ridiculous from your own half Edited March 5, 2023 by Hugh Hillshaveyes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 The fact that the St Johnstone fans were giving it big kicks as they had just scored and then bang goal was of great satisfaction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 One small point of interest: the curse of the programme cover has been broken as Craig McGuffie was adorning it yesterday! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Regarding Stainrod at McD. My memory definitely has it sailing over the vainly waving hands of Hamilton. It is impossible for a shot to still be rising after 50 metres, come on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 My memory of it was Stainrod hit it a fair skelp but it was on the downslope as it sailed over Hamiltons waving arms and into the net. Both were absolutely sensational goals and as a fanbase we have been blessed to have witnessed both. Queue some tap in from one of the ugly sisters getting goal of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked my St J supporting brother who was there for his memories. He was still celebrating, but agrees with me and recalls it going over LH who was well off his line and dipping into the net. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 My memory of Stainrod’s goal was of the ball being a foot or so inside the St J half. McGuffie’s goal is easily the longest range goal I have ever seen. He was still 5 yards or so inside his own half. Even the constantly celebrated Beckham goal against Neil Sullivan (?) was pretty much on the half way line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Mcguffies goal was an absolute joy to watch. However, what noone has mentioned is the weather when stainrod scored was appalling, his shot was also hit from the deck into driving wind and rain and as Harry kinnear said sailed over the goalies head and from memory rolled down the net with the water spraying from the net. It was an awful day even at the back of the stand we got soaked. Without a doubt the best goal I've ever seen or likely will see, given the distance, technical ability required, timing (straight after their goal) and the weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside to that goal was that I had BPM jumping all over my back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries always a bigger risk against lower teams in the division. Also wouldn't be surprised to see McKay in over Mackie after a couple heart-in-mouth moments on Saturday. I was also thinking 4-0 AND we'll get our first pen of the season, Morrison to miss. So, so close 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't at McDiarmid Park to see God's goal but the only other goal I've seen in the flesh from the halfway line was Aldridge for Tranmere at Brockville on the same night Jefferies left for Hearts. I remember the full stadium (as full as it could be for a friendly) applauding it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
