I can see why.

(1) It made no difference to the final result
(2) Almost no-one outside Scotland remembers it
(3) He dribbled it past only 2 players
(4) The goalie made it incredibly easy for him to finish it

I can't believe the whole thing starts today... I'm so hyped. Now if only my head wouldn't hurt so much from last night.

Omadon said:

You're wrong on so many levels it's incredible!

(1) It was the third goal in a 3-2 win.
(2) You remember it! And everyone who's seen Trainspotting has seen it too.
(3) 4 players.
(4) The goalie was regarded as the best in the world at that time! Probably.

And the most important thing is, this goal topping this list means Scotland are better than England at football!

They've really got an interesting approach to the history books in Scotland, eh?

Omadon said:

I thought i recognised that trainspotting shagging scene! Kind of surreal having it showing in a countdown of the best goals EVER Tv show.

Personally i think gazzas goal against Scotland in the Euros was the best ever.

Omadon said:

The "Archie Gemmell goal" was a real life event with a non-frictional character called Archie Gemmell???

I honestly always though it was created in the studio for the film "Trainspotting"

That goal still blows me away, he is a twat, but that goal was pure magic.

fantasyislander said:

You should make a Table of the best looking team in the World Cup Finals, see if looks and skill are correlated.



I think not!

Electrostar said:

It was for World Cup goals only.

Gazza's goal was a great one. Not only good from a technical/skillful point of view, but it killed the game. Scotland never recovered from the shock.

PREDOMINANT said:

umm, i don't think he'd make the final cut.

fantasyislander said:

Arguably the best player on the planet!

So you see, no correlation at all so you will be supporting a team ultimately doomed to loose because they are too pretty.

fantasyislander said:

Here's a photo of me - Would I make the final cut?

PREDOMINANT said:

ie. Italy or Spain

Thank fuck for Crouch for lowering our pretty quotent

Fauxie said:

and Rooney!!

Fauxie said:

Yeah, and Rooney.

Italy's team is clearly the best looking. Although I am slightly biased being partly Italian.

Omadon said:

There's a bus stop opposite where I work with the new Dolce & Gabbana poster of the Italian players looking "slick", sweaty and "hard" modellig their knickers in the team dressing room The birds are all over it every morning Anyone seen it?


Is it okay for me to say..... "birds"?

senik said:

I ain't seen that. Not all that sure I want to.

And of course it's okay for you to say "birds".

You do mean birds though, right?

senik said:

It's as acceptable as saying "Slick, sweaty and hard"

This is a football thread anyway, Birds is perfectly fine.

~ I wonder how far I can take this acceptable stance of political incorrectness~

senik said:

for some reason "ooooh aaah take the money and run!!" just popped into my head!!

i'm gonna watch me some football... i'm gonna watch me some football!

fantasyislander said:

Behave yourself you fussing lil pup! Didn't you look at the chiseled jaw line

What about this chap then?

senik said:

he has nice legs..... very strong... i could get used to the beard...


he might make it!!

senik said:

HOs, Bitches or M'Bitches is fine too.

fantasyislander said:

thanks for letting me down so gently.

fantasyislander said:

Well you'll have to fight FatherMc for a slice of ol' Archie

Omadon said:

That's not as bad as "birds" You're terribly tepid with your language

Give it some welly, me ol' son

fantasyislander said:

I have legs and a beard. Should I jump on this opportunity?

My legs aren't strong though, only my beard. I could lift like 200lbs with it if I were to grow my goatee long and work up to it.

Fauxie said:

I don't have a beard but I do have hairy legs. Does this count?

senik said:

He scored the greatest ever goal apparently! Ever!
