Standard Liege 0-2 Rangers: Was Roofe's goal really the greatest Gerrard's seen?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54653959
No, I shouldn’t be surprised
Amidst the frenzy of Beckham’s goal, completely lost in the midst of times is the salient fact that England relied on results that day to qualify. If I recall correct Germany’s failure to beat Finland was the other part of the equation that sealed England’s progression. The standout performance was that of Anti Niemi, once of our side. Juergen Klinnsman famously said of Anti’s heroics that, “If we had a machine gun and fired it at him, he would have saved every bullet”.Beckham's freekick against Greece ffs
The Zlatan one is the only one there you could make an argument that's better.
They're just comparing it to classic goals, some of Gerrards."Is it really better than these, Stevie"
Yes, it's condescending pish, %^*& the BBC.

It appears to cast doubt on the manager’s assessment of the goal.They seem to be able to make even a magic goal seem mediocre.Fu*k em won’t take the shine of what was a brilliant result against a very good team.
How the f**k have we managed to bring germany failing to beat finland into this discussion.Amidst the frenzy of Beckham’s goal, completely lost in the midst of times is the salient fact that England relied on results that day to qualify.

It’s certainly not glowing and it’s casting doubt on the manager.
They are cvnts and that’s been polite. It’s not just the scoring of the goal it’s the build up and the way he ran, controlled the ball,shrugged of the opponent’s and then had the vision to shoot from his own half. Absolutely tremendous.
I did say in my first post (19) that it was bbc england.I think if it was an English team or player they would be screaming from the rooftops.Reading it they are wondering about Gerrard opinion is right?Surly Mr Gerrard knows what he thinks not some dickhead at the bbc.Oh I’m enjoying it bud simply simply lovely.Your right fu*k them haha utter trash.Doesn't seem like that to me. They seem to be comparing it to some of the most iconic goals of the past.
Also is it not coming from an English source rather than BBC Scotland? For them to be comparing with Beckhams goal - which some down there consider they greatest goal of all time - is not in any way casting doubt on the quality of Roofe's magic.
There was a thread on here last night comparing Roofe's strike to Whittaker's in Lisbon - is that a thread that mocks Roofe's strike or cast doubt on SGs assessment of it?
Think we should all be focusing on and savouring our two fantastic victories instead of looking for anyone out there who might be hurting at our success.
I mean last night the top two threads were the laughing at celtic and kerryfail meltdown threads - I couldn't give a fxxk about how they feel.
Enjoy this mate and fxxk any snide chat from envious side shows.
WATP.
The MSM is dying a slow death, who cares. Just enjoy the goal and the win.I don't believe that everyone is out to get us but if you can't see the negativity in the existence of that article, never mind the tone or content, then you may want to get out some of your old school jotters and revisit what you learned about English comprehension and interpretation.
If Gerrard had framed his statement as a question, or raised doubt himself, then the article would be justified. He made a clear statement however, so why the need to question it? And if you weren't trying to put a negative spin on it, the word "really" would not be in the question.
It's not anti-Rangers though, in my opinion, more a Little Englander mentality that it couldn't possibly be the best goal he has seen as it didn't involve an EPL team or the England national team.
OP says he was just “a bit” annoyed, even thought he’s incredibly in the header!lolThe article seems fairly positive.
Did everyone annoyed by it read past the headline?
It not being scored for an English top 4 side by some Fancy-Dan Spanish or South American player in their all conquering Premier League or Champions League will have some people talk it down.
A Rangers player scoring that in the “Thursday Cup”? They won’t be having that.
im sure the first stat said it was 54.9 now it seems to have been downgraded54.6 yards...not 55
Enjoy the good stuff, there will be bumps along the way that's football for you.Agreed however, this wasn't written by the rhabid mob at Pacific Quay therefore I am not going to start frothing at the mouth...
Same. Sorry to say people have jumped on the bandwagon a bit with that. I don't really see the problem.Sorry but am not reading that as a negative

The tone of the article suggests they aren't convinced.It's an article describing how incredible the goal is with quotes of how good it was from multiple people.
Cant say its negative at all.
Classic FF. If someone posts something negative that I disagree with, they are offended by everything and their point isn't valid.If you go out your way to be offended you can find negativity in every article.
To be fair even Roofe himself said 'it is still the same as a tap-in'
The tone of the article suggests they aren't convinced.
The headline questions whether it was superior and with one exception they compare it to goals nowhere near as good. Decent goals but only famous because they were game changers in big games.
Most importantly, if Gerrard says it's the best goal he has seen live then there is nothing to debate. His personal opinion on a subjective matter can't be wrong.
Article posted by anonymous. They know what they are doing.
Nah, me neither.Sorry but am not reading that as a negative
He did but the way the article uses that quote is more than a bit out of context.
