Yes,
that’s right, this feature IS continuing into a second week! Last
week’s best crap goal was Diego
Milito’s bundled effort in the Champions League, but who will be victorious
(in the most boring sense of the word) this week?
Sean Murray (Watford) vs. Bristol City
Bristol
City are hovering just above the relegation zone The Championship nears the
final straight, and David James did his very best to maintain their plight at a
steady pace with his comical gaffe. But, of course, this isn’t about comical
goals: it’s about boring, crap goals, and Sean Murray’s scrambling finish, after
Troy Deeney miscued a volley, was nothing short of spectacularly awful.
Chivas
gained their first points of the new MLS season on Saturday, beating Real Salt
Lake with a 72nd minute winner. Casey Townsend managed to ruffle
enough of Nick Rimando’s feathers to force the RSL ‘keeper to drop the ball on
to Townsend’s foot. The rookie duly dispatched, poaching well.
Long
ball over the top, Mike Williamson shows his defensive capabilities yet again
(either leave it or nod it back to Krul!), Long taps in. It’s a simple goal. It’s
a crap goal.
When
you put in an amazing, desperate tackle that stops the opposition from scoring,
the last thing you want is for the ball to land to someone in acres of space to
finish off. Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the sneaky sod, pops up in the right place at
the right time to score. How boring.
Possibly
a little harsh, this, but I’m pretty sure Samedov is attempting to block the
ball rather than fire it into the corner for the equaliser. Dinamo went on to
lose 3-1, but at least he can be proud of scoring such a crap goal, both in
terms of the finish and the build-up. And, well, at least he didn’t have a snow
ball thrown at him.
