A better goal at Roots Hall

[Badger74]

In 31 years of watching the blues my all time fav goal is David Crown against Wigan when we won 3-2 when we was 2-0 down and Crowns goal made it 3-2

However I think Mohsni goal today might just of taken the best goal I have ever seen at Roots hall.

I will watch it on telly tonight to decide but when Mohsni got the ball and he had 4 blue shirts around him I did not expect a strike from 35 yards that flew into the goal.

Also Mohsni was so angry at full time at the result, it was great to see him run off down the tunnel without getting into any issues

Alam moody at roota hall. Brett angel v west hamFrank wirthington. For tranmere in the 80s. So myDad says

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

A certain F Eastwood against Man U.

 

[GBJ]

Damon Searle's impossible volley from what seemed at the time, about 50 yards out against Rushden/Carlisle(?)

 

[OldBlueLady]

It was a great goal, as was Ryan's today. Best ever? No, I don't think so.

 

[Frankie the half breed]

Yeah Freddy Eastwood v man u is always gonna be up there.

George Friend against Southampton when we lost 3-1 a couple of season ago was an absolute wicked goal too.

Mohsni Bilel today, what a cracker. Ryan Hall v Gillingham, there's many.

As far as I'm aware Frank Worthington never played for Tranmere. Did your dad have a birds eye view of the goal?

Frank Worthington did play for Tranmere and indeed scored against Southend at Roots Hall in the mid 1980's - I think the match ended 2-2 with Richard Cadette getting a late one for Southend.

Bit of a Badger love in going on here

Indeed he did, he scored 21 goals in 59 games. Shame he never joined his brothers Dave & Bob at Roots Hall.

But he did. I was in the Shrimpers Bar in the early 70s when Frank Worthington put in an appearance on a Saturday night.

Unfortunately they were nowhere near as gifted footballers as Frank was.:sad:

 

[Medway Blue]

Just saw it again on TV - if anybody thinks Eastwood's or Friend's goals were better than that then they're living on another planet! That was from fully 30 yards + at the very least and it whizzed into the top corner. Plus he meant it. Searle's was a good finish but to this day I still don't think he meant it so it had a slice of luck about it...

 

[GregStarz]

How about Ricky Otto's away at Luton?

 

[Beefy]

Most similar goal to that one was down the other end but was Paul Byrne's against Norwich.

Like Byrne's, Bilel's goal will be five yards further back every time it's brought up!

 

[Badger74]

It was a great goal, as was Ryan's today. Best ever? No, I don't think so.

If you get a chance to see it on the telly, it really is special.
As a defender as we know he is, with 35 yards out it was a strike that was like a bullet into the top corner

Is now my fav goal at Roots hall

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Mike Marsh in front of the South Bank verses Ipswich? About 97 I believe...

 

[Tampa Blue]

Agree it was a fabulous strike and I am still gobsmacked, but I believe the only reason that he shot was that he didn't know what else to do with the ball - mind you it was a great decision in the end!!

I love the guy and his strike was exceptional but best goal ever -don't think so?!

It's a good job we keep scoring these goals from outside the box because we definitely can't score from inside the six yard box. Was it good ? Oh yeah. Was it the best ? Nope. Will we still talk about it for years ? Probably !!!!!!!!!
