How many along with me were saying -

[Scotty Mac]

i turned round to my mate and said: "i hope tommy macs got good insurance on the car. this is going straight through the windscreen." despite the fact the car was parked at preston park. then bam, up he steps and its in. completely codfounded

 

[bhaexpress]

I have to adnit that I expected it to catch the 4:43 Thameslink to Bedford and was rather stunned when it hit the back of the net.

Still, dreadful defending by the Coventry wall (thank God !)

 

[glosterseagul]

Fair play to the ref who must have got the wall back at least 12 yards

I agree I said thats the furthest Ive seen a wall from the ball

 

[Biscuit]

I said, no chance...he'll put it into orbit.


M block gave me a good jeering after that!

 

[BensGrandad]

I hoped that he would hit it AT the wall and teach them a lesson to not to stand in his way. Perhaps other clubs will watch and take note and not stand in direct flight for fear of getting a smack in the face. I was hoping to getr a rebound from the wall.

 

[Gazwag]

I thought Currie was gonna take it, and pass it back to our keeper, might have been his only good pass of the game

 

[skintboy]

The young man next to me actually said"he is going to score from this".And kindly pointed this out when it hit back of net!!!

 

[smudge]

I said out loud, "This'll go straight into the wall!"
Then 2 complete strangers were laughing their heads off & hugging me!

 

[The Large One]

"Oh bloody hell, this one's either into the wall or into hospitality. This free kick doesn't have a hope in hell of going in - he's far too far out. And he's never scored for us with a fr... Yeeeaaahahhhhhahahaha!"

 

[Seagullible]

Have to admit to loking over and seeing Virgs lining it up and saying to the guy next to me that it would probably clear the railway - still can't believe it stayed low!
GET IN THERE!!!

 

[JSD Albion]

I used my mate's ticket to take a Coventry fan I know. I told him to relax, and that even if the wall and goalkeeper were removed it still wouldn't hit the target. Still, he was gracious enough to sort of celebrate when it went in.

Who was it in D block who shouted: 'Hold the trains!'

 

[wilderabeast]

The old boy behind me who has an awful lot to say for himself and gives a running commentry on how badly we are playing came out with a blinder. I Quote..

' NO NO NO ADAM THATS STUPID 40 YARDS OUT DON'T BE SILLY ADAM.. OH THIS IS RIDICULOUS ARE WE REDUCED TO A FULL BACK TAKING A POT SHOT FROM 40 YARDS. CHRIST IF THIS GOES IN IM THE QUEEN OF SHEEBA'

and we all no what happened next

 

[Bwian]

I agree I said thats the furthest Ive seen a wall from the ball

Apart from when he moved our guys back at least 14 or 15 yards part way into the second half!

 

[Storer68]

I seem to recall saying something along the likes of:
"he's not going to have a pop from there is he? That's f****ing ludicrous"

Me? What do I know!!!!

 

[Buckingham]

I think my exact words were (whilst turning to the people around me) what do we reckon, down to the London Road, in the trees behind the stadium or straight into the wall, the response came back 'I don't know, all I do know is it won't go in'.

I was so convinced it was going nowhere I was slouched back in my seat so far that I bruised both my shins on the back of the seat in front when jumping up to celebrate.

Even better than my comment literally two seconds before Leon scored v. Chesterfield at home last season that we just don't look like scoring, everyone heard me and laughed at me then as well.

 

[Caveman]

I was sure he was going to "ave it" and send it 50 foot high and 20 foot wide. But no! Heres to Virgo ... again...

He must have miss kicked it though

Bet he doesn't score another like that, I bet ya Virgo I bet ya!
