Bill Lees Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 I've started this topic, but I'm afraid the only one I can think of is Willie Donachie at Hampden about 20 years ago - cannae remember what the game was, but it was a Scotland International. There was nae pressure on him or anything - he was actually just trying to waste time by passing back to the goalie (goalies could handle backpassed balls in them days). I tell a lie - I've just remembered the one scored by the Aston villa goalie against Bham City at St Andrews earlier this season. Strangely, I cannae remember any own goals scored by St Mirren players at all - but there must have been some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ruggy Bairn Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Scott McKenzie scored a belter for us this season, against ICT in the first minute. Yogi Hughes gave him a good bollocking before later going up the park to score the equaliser. Halliwell also scored one against us, Samuel hit an 18 yarder that cracked back off the post and went in off the back of the baldy englishman's head! McLaughlin also scored an own goal in the same game, after six minutes. It was a belter and unstoppable. He'd have been proud of it at the other end.

Guest bob_mcshug Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 rotherham V Wolves in the league cup this season - dunno who scored it but he whacked it s****ht into the top corner!! a german goalie for armenia bielefield(?) - he watched the ball drop down, bounce of his napper and into the net - hilarious!!! camile oponga - FFC v partick last season - passed back to hogarth from about the half way line, it was a reasonable weighted pass and should've been dealt with easily but it took a bobble when myles tried to control it and went in - bizarre, humiliating but funny non the less!!

Guest Pete Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 airdrie v falkirk at broomfield, i think it was either late eighties or very early nineties, it was the season we were sponsored by Tr fastenings, jim duffy might of been manager, i was pretty young then so can only vaguley remember the details but i can easily remember the goal. Anyway, an airdrie player is thru on goal and tries to score under gordon marshalls legs, the keeper gets a bit on it but it is still heading towards goal. Jim holmes arrives on the scene to clear it from the goal line, he takes a touch and then instead of easily blasting it out the park he passes it into the net, total disaster.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Bobby Dawson scored a brilliant header for Falkirk against Saints in January 94. Saints won 3-1 and Hewitt scored that 30,000-passes goal. Aye we had tae score for Falkirk that day as well. Bobby Dawson scored a nice wee header against Hibs at Easter Rd the season after we won the Cup. Norrie McWhirter equalised late on and the Hibs casualw**ks gave us a doing afterwards for our troubles. Paul Lambert scored an easy header for Celtic back in about February 92. Mind you, we were about 3-0 down at the time. Years later Celtic signed him. Aye they don't hing aboot! Norrie McWhirter drilling a beauty past Campbell Money at Parhead in the Cup, January 91. First goal in a 3-0 gubbing. And who could forget Tom Boyd in France 98? The only Scotsman to score for Brazil. A proud achievment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snudge Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 i recall big basil godfrey scoring a peach of an og in the last minute against hearts at love st. game finished 1-1. Campbell money vs celtic in the 'monsoon game' could also be classed as an og. (well he did drop the ball off his knee and into the net.)

ST SID Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Suprised bajansaint hasn't mentioned this one. In the Caribbean Cup a golden goal in extra time counts as two goals towards goal difference. The Barjans had to win the game by two clear goals as anything less would see their opponents Grenada go through. It was 2-1 to Barbados with three minutes to go and the Barjans put the ball into their own net to avoid going out of the cup. The situation now required the Barjans to defend both goals. They did manage to score a golden goal by themselves and progress in the cup. In a Tiger Cup game between Thailand and Indonesia both teams had already qualified. However, winning the game would mean a tough tie in the next round against cup favourites Vietnam. It wound up with the Indonesians attacking their own goal and the Thai players defending it. The Indonesian keper caught the ball in injury time and thumped it into his own net. Both teams got humps in the semis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 There was a game in 1997-98 I think, at Love Street, which Saints won 2-1. Stephen Watson scored Saints equaliser, then 10 minutes from time some Hamilton player scored the winner with a fantastic diving header! Even better he scored an OG the week before as well!

Dirty Sanchez Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I remember a game at Dunfermline about 10 years ago when Norrie McCathie lobbed his own keeper with a peach of a header to give us the lead. Of course,we gave him pelters and rubbed it in throughout the match......until one of our mob equalised for Dunfermline with a similarly bizarre o.g.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Celtic were awarded a penalty with less than 10 minutes left. What are you on about, Tom??? It was more like ten bloody seconds left!!! Typical OF nonsense. Mind you, just like the present day, they still couldn't score it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 a german goalie for armenia bielefield(?) - he watched the ball drop down, bounce of his napper and into the net - hilarious!!! That was the funniest one ever... Remember the first time I saw it thought it was in slow motion. The boy just stood there watching it come down then let it bounce off his head into the net. Superb!!! Was there not one like that in EPL last season too where a Soton defender cleared the ball about 40 yards vertically then it came straight back down bounced and spun back into the net with Paul Jones just staring!!!
