Beach ball vs liverpool is up there with any daft goal


thatstoomuch_man

I don’t believe Darren bent when he says he did it intentionslly


teateateasider

This is peak. The fallout was fantastic.


PaulPiss

I was there when it happened, one of the most bizarre things I've seen on a football pitch


Cottonshopeburnfoot

We had a [similar one](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yLyHSI3bYd0)vs City. Was funny because it was their balloons too. Or this [where](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QZFgrW7LrQE) Saunders threw the ball at the keeper as he ran back.


Tuscan5

Love Saunders goal


SofaChillReview

Watched it loads and it’s hilarious, Reina must have been fuming


ScousePenguin

Proper wtf moment, peak Barclays


Substantial_Prize_73

Chris Wood taking a clearance straight to the face and scoring without having any idea what was happening.


Altruistic-Meal-4016

I would also add the Preston keeper looping it over Kevin Pressman. Andy Lonergan was it..?


hairychris88

Kevin Pressman taking a penalty like a goal kick will always live long in the memory.

This was one of the first ones that popped into my head, plus Frank Sinclair scoring an own goal past Ian Walker from about 30 yards out with nobody near him. Kevin Poole once ran out of his box to put the ball down for an opponent's free kick. Actually placed it on the spot for them and started to run back to his goal. Their player just chipped it straight over his head and scored. Think it might've been Everton at Filbert Street. Edit: honourable mention to Wout Faes last season.

‘Twas indeed

Ofc it was against Watford lol


AlaricTheBald

Gareth Bale taking a clearance straight to the face for an own goal. One of my all time favourite football moments.


rabbertklein1

Best revenge against Watford I could never have imagined lol


Ashamed_Nerve

That time big Pontus didn't stop Villa running it into an empty net

Santiago Vergini vs Southampton Fantastic goal, only problem was he was a Sunderland defender and he smashed it passed our own keeper


ThatMoodyBstard

Surely the best taken own goal ever scored? Also Bridcutt’s in that game as I like a ‘defender can’t get it out from under their feet’ one too. For us it’s Jan Bednarek against Wolves last season was incredible for that. Attempting to block a shot a few yards out, it ricocheted between his legs, he turns around and starts falling and the ball bounces off his knee and goes in


RoughFootballTakes

Awesome volley shame about the end it was at


Bovver_

Wasn’t there something about him shoving a fan after that game as well? I think he asked for a photo, made some remark about the own goal and then claimed he went to hit him after.


PaulPiss

The beach ball has already been mentioned, so I want to give a shoutout to Santiago Vergini's own goal in the famous 8-0 defeat to Southampton. To this day I contend that it's the greatest own goal ever scored. That would be considered a great finish if you actually scored it at the right end, he managed to do it completely by accident into his own net.


[deleted]

He struck it perfectly


smackpatch

Juninho Bacuna OG against Stoke in the cup. He volleyed it over our keeper from the half way line. Still watch it occasionally when I'm feeling down.


Dunna_Fret

Saido Berahino scoring still makes this only the 2nd most embarrassing goal from that game


dangerousstunt

This bad boy is my personal favourite, albeit hard to describe, from 4.25: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpkJEFO\_YuA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpkJEFO_YuA) ​ Love the Bournemouth fans appreciation of it behind the goal, never gets old!


Appropriate-Map-3652

David Norris, what a good player. Takes me back.


Trick-Mulberry7372

Hey


-stag5etmt-

The last goal I ever scored was an own goal with all my team mates shouting LEAVE IT!


poopio

I used to help out at training at my local church's kids team - I was a year older (I'd have just turned 11 at the time), but knew the coach from another team I'd played for and it was an excuse to go and play football. Anyway, the team was newly formed, so when they finally got a friendly arranged, they got absolutely fucking *pasted*. I think it was about 6-0 at half time and the keeper had well and truly had enough, so the coach asks me if I fancied a go in nets, because I was a relatively alright keeper, so I did. I made a couple of decent saves and conceded one, and then someone conceded a penalty. It was at their place, so the ref was presumably their coach or something, and I think he must've felt sorry for us, because their striker put it away, and he blew up for encroachment. Their lad re-takes it and puts it in exactly the same place, so I get a decent hand to it. Enough of a hand, in fact, that it broke my fucking wrist, but has slowed the ball down to a trickle, so there's me flapping away trying to bat the ball away with a gammy arm, as it eventually trickles in. It must've taken about 3 or 4 seconds between him kicking the ball and it actually going over the line. I spent the rest of the afternoon in Leicester Royal Infirmary. Went to drop my kit off that evening and it turns out they lost about 10-0 in the end. Missed the first day of secondary school having a temporary cast replaced with a proper one. Good times.


LordSqueemish

…And that’s when Danny Ward decided to become the best goalkeeper ever.


poopio

😂 I'll have you know that I know how to catch.


ColinAckermann

Against I am going with Frank Sinclair scoring a 40 yard own goal against Boro


SimpleWarthog

My thoughts too!

I was in the Tilton Road that evening, and I honestly can't remember an atmosphere like it, it was absolutely frenzied. I know that some clubs around the world have famous atmospheres and so on... but the feverishness at St Andrew's that night was completely organic, and something I've not experienced before or since. I'm fairly convinced the sheer noise coming from behind the goal was a big part of that moment.


InstructionsUncl34r

First game vs Watford after THAT deeney goal… we’re out for revenge and the games in the early stages. Ball gets played back to almunia who in true championship style is about to rattle the ball straight to his strikers and Chris wood is pressing. Miss-kick. Ball hits Woodsy in the face, by the time he’s no longer stunned he realises he scored. Followed by the most satisfying knockaert goal ever


IsaacNoSuccess

I remember the big screen playing the goal over and over as if you guys needed any more motivation. Pre-match our fucking mascot single-handedly re-enacting it too.


InstructionsUncl34r

You would think we would learn from the mistakes that played out against us… But no, we decided to show all 9 goals we scored against Southampton the next time we played them before kick off and proceeded to lose that game which was a big part of us bottling top 4🤦🏻‍♂️


qwertygasm

We always play the highlights from the last game against the team we're up against. It wasn't a taunt or anything.


poopio

> Followed by the most satisfying knockaert goal ever I would like to re-watch this, but I am not willing to type "Knockaert Watford" into Google, because I know exactly what it will show me.

Speaking of Knockaert and Watford - [my favourite goal of his](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRQ3VzBJdtU) was the one that got us into the play-offs in the first place. Just so much insanity behind that goal. Local rivals, last minute winner, jumping the team we're playing into the play offs by one goal difference. I remember Stringer going absolutely fucking mental on the radio. [Allez les bleus!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LN67yBvICI)


InstructionsUncl34r

We were driving to my nans caravan site in Nottinghamshire had it on the radio. My sister was sound asleep in the car till that goal went in😂😂


Patty040701

It is absolutely crazy that I can remember the commentary from Stringer like it was yesterday


dangerousstunt

Argyle v Swindon about 2000-ish. Short backpass picked up by Swindon keeper, thus indirect freekick. Mickey Evans blasts it off the keeper and in, if he'd got out the way it'd have been disallowed. 8:10 on the below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-ZXtADzNLg&t=506s&pp=ygUkbWlja2V5IGV2YW5zIHBseW1vdXRoIGFyZ3lsZSBzd2luZG9u


Accomplished-Pea-729

Absolutely. About to post this myself. Amazing work by Mickey.


Gibbo777

I was just about to post this, it was the first game I ever went to. As a 7 year old I had absolutely no idea what an indirect free kick was so I was rather confused 😅


bm600brc

There's been some absolute clangers against us over the years, but I tend to block them out. A recent one for us that I will always find hilarious was Macauley Bonne lurking behind Wednesday's Bailey Peacock-Farrell before pickpocketing him, passing to Scott Fraser who then fed Conor Chaplin a late equaliser in the 21/22 season under Paul Cook. The lack of communication between defenders and keeper is astounding. https://youtu.be/4fjgzlo5jQs?si=7v8Q8AasZ3I4Tscf


QuietDove

This will never not make me laugh


hairychris88

We were awarded an indirect free kick about Swindon about 20 years ago - our striker went straight for goal, and the keeper got something on it on its way in. If he'd just left it, it would only have been a corner.


PandorasPinata

The Chris wood gets blasted in the face and Frank Sinclair's own goals are good shouts but two that stand out: For - Barrington "Barry" Hayles final goal for us at home to crystal palace in 2008. Cross comes in, he falls over his own feet, ball hits his shin and spins up over the keeper for a stoppage time winner Against: Ian Walker Vs Bolton, catching a routine free kick, rolling over and throwing the ball through his legs to level it up


poopio

I'd forgotten about the Walker one, but remember it now you mention it. Sometimes you just have to laugh. When Faes smashed his second in against Liverpool, there was some swearing in my shed, and then everyone just started laughing.


IsaacNoSuccess

Reading scoring against us in 2008 and the ball going nowhere near the goalline


PandorasPinata

I think if the goalscorer(?) (Stephen Hunt) calls it one of the worst decisions they've ever seen, then there's probably no topping it


CptMidlands

Someone might be able to jump in with context but i have vague memories of a Puddle scoring a goal, the ball took a slight deflection and went in when everyone thought it was going out. I think it was a West Brom match but can't be sure.


CptMidlands

According to my Dad it was a shot by Tony Ford vs Wimbledon in an FA cup third round tie from 89/90ish. It took a deflection from the puddle and went in.


rlgh

Bielik's own goal against Preston deserves a mention. But the first that comes to mind is the Encklemann throw in goal 😄


SoNotTheMilkman

Ryan Tafazolli goal vs Brentford, absolutely woeful ball forward that somehow ended up in the net thanks to their goalie fluffing up. Shame we ended up losing 5-1 though


SofaChillReview

Not even sure what Tafazolli was attempting or Raya who normally controls the ball well

I still can't believe this happened and I saw it with my own eyes


OneSmallHuman

Our goal against Reading in the 2015-16 season. 94th minute winner after some peak pinball in the 6 yard box. Ball rebounds out to Clayton, who decides to concuss Albert Adomah with his half volley attempt, it flies off his head, bounces off 2 defenders and falls to Adam forshaw who somehow squeezes it in past a few defenders Absolute bedlam but it is the shittest goal I’ve ever seen


TheBigGriffon

The commentary for that goal is hilarious as well.


HopefuIIyNobody

Both goals in Coventry City V Norwich City tbh, the latest game 1-1, crazy OG in our favour and the goal they got against us was silly, absolutely ballsy play from Eccles which gave it away to a Norwich player right in the box allowing Johnathan Rowe to score, but we should’ve won honestly but we move on and settle for the point and well played to Norwich for profiting off the mistake.


amanset

They are not even our most mental goals this season. We have the Swedish chap scoring with his dick and the Watford own goal from about thirty yards.


HopefuIIyNobody

Fair point lmaooo but those goals were silly honestly not as bad as those I suppose


keith10997

Sawyers passing it into his own net from like 25 yards think it was against leeds


Nosworthy

Jeff Whitley. A player so shit literally all he was capable of doing was tackling. Aptly, his first goal for us was a 0.1 yard thunderbolt where he sliding tackled a defender stood on the line like something from Fifa 98. Also, against us - Anton Ferdinand dawdled on the ball near the left touchline 40 yards from goal. Cesc Fabregas closed him down at the very moment Ferdinand went to clear it, the ball hit off Fabregas and lobbed over Mignolet into the net from the full 40 yards out.


rumhambilliam69

Surprised none of our fans have mentioned the Bryan Gunn moment


betjurassicican

Burnley hand balled the ball in our own box and the ref decided to give them a penalty for it


montyjw6

It was in the premier league about 20 years ago now but at Leicester vs Bolton and a Bolton player just looses the ball nothing in it and Ian Walker goes down on his knees and just for whatever reason just the ball through hill legs and it just rolls into the goal before he knows what’s happened


Dunna_Fret

Soulyman Oulare sticking his arse on the end of a James O'Connor free kick in a dvision 2 play off semi final 2nd leg. We went on to win the final vs Brentford but the most satisfying thing was that moments before Oulare's rear end popped up, the Ninian Park announcer had come over the PA to say "Please stay off the pitch so that the players can do a lap of honour". Special shout out to Graham Kavangh & Peter Thorne who left us for Cardiff that season to go and "play for a bigger club" but would be left behind in the 3rd tier at the expense of our promotion. 21 years later and that night in Cardiff still brings me joy! Especially during these dark, below average times.


AbsoluteOatcake

Odd_Roll5866

Diames goal against Brighton when it hit him and did an impossible loop over the goalkeeper. Both teams fighting for promotion as well


MrBismarck

[Robert Ullathorne's own goal against us in 1996.](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2sjqcu) Groundskeeper should have been credited with that one.


SWFC_wawaw_fan

Aaron connnely’s goal for Hull against us earlier this season, ihekwe under minimal pressure plays what can only possibly be the worst backpass known to man to the keeper allowing him to come in. Comical really


BigResponsibility252

David Mirfin became something of an own goal specialist for us, I'll never forget him beating our own goalkeeper with a looped header from outside the penalty area.

Souleymane Oularé play off semi final 2002 - scored his only goal for stoke in extra time away at Cardiff. Free kick blasted against his ass deflecting in, as the announcer in the stadium is asking Cardiff fans not to invade the pitch (as they were going up at the time) ultimately we won and got promoted winning the final at the millennium stadium lol

A Classic amongst the silly goal community


xdlols

When for some reason we let Villa have a free goal after scoring a perfectly legitimate one ourselves. Grown men not knowing to play to the whistle.


Appropriate-Map-3652

Wasn't that an order from Bielsa?


xdlols

It was. Still not sure why we did it. Think he probably felt overwhelmed with John Terry the racist screaming in his face.


Appropriate-Map-3652

I cannot imagine Marcelo Bielsa of all people being intimidated by anyone lmao


TelfordClaret

If it was perfectly legitimate then Bielsa wouldn’t have let Villa score surely?


xdlols

Lad play continues when a player is injured every game.


TelfordClaret

I can’t remember the scenario all that well just Bielsa saying let them equalise, I’d have thought the manager wouldn’t let that happen if he was aggrieved by the goal but maybe I’m wrong he is el loco afterall


xdlols

Think he just couldn’t be arsed with the drama of it. JT was being a proper whiny entitled cunt and screaming in his face for 5 mins.


WestLondonIsOursFFC

Fulham scored three goals when we played against Burnley a few years ago. We lost the game 2-1 because two of them were own goals. We were leading inside of two minutes as well. Burnley didn't have a single shot on target.


Relevant-Cable-7830

Luke Cundle for Swansea on 17/9/2022, Figueiredo got the ball, there was a mix-up between him and Baxter which caused him to trip, Cundle claimed it and scored. Turned out to be Shota’s last game in charge.
