Your LCFC goal of the decade

Recommended Posts

Posted

From memory of the last decade, and not taking the occasion in to account :

Vardy against Liverpool obviously

Vardy against Utd, the 11 in 11, purely for the no look assist from Fuchs

Vardy against West Brom, the ball over the shoulder 

Shinji against Newcastle, the bicycle kick

Cambiasso against West Ham

Drinkwater against Liverpool

Gallagher against Palace, can't remember if it was the 1st of the 2nd but both were pretty decent

Knockaert against Huddersfield, both were good

Bruma I think against Watford, proper missile type strike

Mahrez against Blackpool, his first goal for us

Mahrez against Chelsea, good enough to get them twisting and turning

Vardy against Spurs, twice is 2 different games at home

There's a Fryatt goal in my head too but can't remember who it was against

Wood against Burnely, that is a thunderbolt

 

Theres loads more but these are just off the top of my head

If a ball bounces it is then air borne again.

This is considered a volley these days.

Granted, it wasn't always perceived like this.

But football had followed tennis in calling a ball struck just as it hits the ground a half volley.

So now all air borne shots, whether they've bounced or not, are called volley.

 

No it isn't. 

Just because some people use a term incorrectly, doesn't mean it automatically becomes acceptable.

A volley, and half volley, is still exactly as it was 50 years ago.

The whole point of giving such credit to volleys, is because it is still an extremely difficult shot to control - ie receiving it directly from an opponent, when you have no other reference points but the ball coming towards you.

Once it has bounced, it loses speed and your eyes can easily position on to where it is, in relation to the ground

Kicking a ball when it's simply in the air is no big deal, and it doesn't have a special name.  It's just a shot.

A decade is ten years. Any ten years.

The sixties is a decade.

Only a fvcking idiot includes 1970 in the sixties rather than 1960.

Any chat about there being no year zero is redundant in light of the above.

 

Will await your silence in lieu of an apology for your persistent wrongness.

Everyone used to believe the world was flat.

 

Didn't make them right.

0-1=1 year

1-2=2 years

2-3=3 years

3-4=4 years

4-5=5 years

5-6=6 years

6-7=7years

7-8=8 years

8-9=9 years

9-10=10 years

The moment we hit the next 0 that's ten years and it starts again, how do I know this, from the master mathematician

Well it clearly is, hence it being (wrongly in your eyes) used by so many commentators.

 

Language evolves. It has in this case.

Yes, language does evolve.  And I can think of some words that refine their meaning over time.

But "volley" hasn't evolved.   It's used wrongly by idiots who just don't know what it is.

AD as in 2020AD did not come into use until the 6th Century so the ‘there was no year 0’ is not really relevant, nobody ever said ‘we are now in year 1 (29, 157 etc)’

 

For me 2020 belongs in the decade that we call the 20s.

More importantly though one of these three for me:

 

Mahrez v Chelsea because it really felt like we had a team good enough to mix it with the big boys.

 

Mahrez v Man City - “Shit, we could actually do this”

 

Albrighton v Seville simply for the crowd reaction when the ball went in and at the final whistle.

Posted

Gallagher’s backwards header against Scunthorpe 

Kyle Naughon against Doncaster 

Oakley at Forest 

King at Blackpool 

 

 

A few lesser remembered gems from the first half of the decade.

 

 

All of Fuchs’ goals 

Slimani v Liverpool 

Mahrez backheel against Copenhagen (?)

Vardy in Seville

Drinkwater v Chelsea

King v Man City

Cambiasso v West Ham 

 

For some that I don’t think have been mentioned for the last half of the decade

Easy Riyad against Man City left Hart rooted to the spot and the significance of 'this is going to actually happen.'

Mind we are lucky in that there is  plenty to choose from

Andy King away at Coventry, I think it was 2010. He made run into box, collected the ball and then scooped it over the keeper from just outside the 6 yard box, but it was sort of all in one movement. Will search for a video of it later.

Duh, I said when it hits 0 it starts again, this year, 20 is the 1st year of the 2020s, 0-1.

I wasn’t arguing with you.  I was arguing with people who say the 20s start at 2021.

 

My last line is pretty clear I think.

You don't really understand the evolution of language tbf.

I'll leave you to it.

You're right, 100%, but you're going to just face this 'language evolves' argument over and over from s person incapable of accepting they've made a mistake. 

 

If you're really lucky you might get a 'that's your opinion' thrown in. But I'm afraid you're arguing with ignorance.

Giving something an incorrect name repeatedly isn't evolution. I'm not sure you understand it. 

 

He's correct. That's what the term means. It's been bastardised, it hasn't evolved.

I know what a "twat" was, and i understand what it evolved into.

 

I also know what a "volley" was, and still is.
