Shaun Goater

I thought the Goat was a cut above today, his little flicks and touches were a joy to behold today.

The icing on the cake would have been a goal, if he'd headed in from that corner I'm sure the roof would have blown off Roots Hall

Fantastic game for The Goat today, really showed his class and experience. A goal and he would've been MoM without doubt....

Like I said in the other post, my MOM today.

goater was absoulty the star today. his flicks were top class and that turn - who needs blinding pace when you have the knowledge and awareness like that.

 

[chadded]

He's amazing. In one season he really is becoming a legend. When he retires I for one hope he comes back to the Hall every now and again.

 

[SUFCFARAWAY]

i personally want him to stay on as a coach and i hope Tilly and Ron pull out all the stops to make that happen!

there was absolutely nothing wrong with the goater's goal today- i'd like to know why it was disallowed- shaun and freddie are becoming quite a tandem. good understanding and link ups.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Thought he had his best game in a while last wek as well, good to see him really going for his last push

 

[Beefy]

I've said it before but replacing Goater is going to be Tilly's main, and most difficult, task in the summer.

Agree there. We'll miss him when he's gone - when he's fully fit he's pure class and his lack of pace doesn't matter. Even when he's been off form he's still been scoring.

Legend. He thoroughly deserves the rousing send-off he will recieve from three grateful clubs on May 6th.

He was amazing today! Good stuff considering a friend of his came over from Bermuda to watch!

That dummy he did in the centre of the park in the second half made me nearly c... in my y-frounts!

 

[Its grim up north!]

Whats a y-frount? Sounds uncomfortable!

Its a font. A bit like Windings. But not.

Ok, Y-fronts??

A tad messy!

 

[Its grim up north!]

Why would you do that?

 

[Jai]

It's not just his play, it's brilliant to see someone play football with a smile on his face, there was a moment in the 2nd half where he tried for a nutmeg wide on the left - it didn't come off, but afterwards the Goat and Freddy were both in stitches - as well as that great moment from that corner, I was still laughing ten minutes later. That for me is what football is all about.

Yep the Goat is always smiling and laughing. I will never forget the incident at Yeovil!

Sod all that, you've just admitted to wearing y-fronts!

What doesn't get mentioned about the Goat is his defending at set pieces. We are no longer giving sloppy goals away from corners and free-kicks around the box and that's largely down to him - he doesn't pick up a man but watches the flight of the ball and attacks it to head away.

Agree about the corner where he came close to scoring. The whole South Upper were singing 'Feed The Goat' which really lifted him and he rose like a 19 year old at the start of his career not someone at the end of it and came so close with the header. If it had gone in the roof would have come off the South Stand!
