Goal of 2011

Post by JamieE »

The OS has put up a competition of goal of the year.

Nicholson and O'Kane have put their markers down recently but I think I'm going to vote for Danny Stevens' goal at home to Stevenage last season. Unbelievable technique to hit it on the half volley from 30 yards. Couldn't remember whether it was beginning of '11 or end of '10 but it turns out it was March.

Others I can think of: Kee away at Northampton, Jake Robinson away at Cheltenham and Nico free kicks at Chesterfield and Bradford.

An easy one for me - I have voted Eunan's second against Argyle. True class!

I have started an online poll to measure the members views and will vote in both.

Just for the fact it was a last minute goal let alone a great strike, along with the celebration scenes I've gone with nico's V Barnet!

I voted for Nicholson's goal against Barnet! That's one of the best goals I've seen while watching Torquay for nearly 10 years. Kevin Hill's cheeky goal and Hilly's overhead kick was simply brilliant, so was Matt Hockley's strike against a team I can't remember! Nicholson's goal is up there with the best!

Good Luck Nico! :-D

Rene Howe with his finish against Exeter pre-season would have won at a distance but after that it's O'kane with his piledriver at home to Argyle.

Think they missed a bit of a trick by not having videos of the goals on those pages. Worse, when you click on the player's name, it just goes to their profile page. Granted, it might be a bit of a rights issue with gullsplayer but I'm sure they could sort that out.

We all like to see the flash bang wallop, but I am going to suggest the Rene's opener at Sheff Utd was a goal of great beauty given the deft lay off from Mansell (assuming he meant it) movement of RH to collect and the efficiency of finish. Great goal. :goal:

I liked Rene's opener v Crewe and also the Nico free kick at Chesterfield but for me its the aesthetics of a top corner piledriver and the fact that it was the last kick of the game that nails it for Nico's goal v Barnet. Would have loved to have been there to join in the madness that ensued after that one amongst the yellow army.

Eunan's second, for me. In such a big game, scoring twice within 100 seconds was incredible. I've never gone so mental at a goal, though Nichos was unbelievable too. As was his freekick at Chesterfield! To be fair, all of those goals were excellent - Stevens against Stevenage was excellent too.

Eunan. No question. Not only because it was absolutely pinpoint from 35 yards, but because he had a split second to react to the keeper being about half an inch off his line, as well as the two or three players closing him down. A combination of instinct and skill.

That said, a lot of those were very special goals and Nico in particular has hit some corkers. I suspect he'll lose out to Eunan but in any other year he'd deserve to have won it.

Talk about bias, just cos you're fave player is Eunan you feel the need to vote for him. You won't catch me doing anything like that! ;-)

I'm with you on the goal Bobby but the Larrieu (sp) was miles off his line.
