Roofe's record broken

[Amadaeus]

Measured by the SPFL!!

 

[cm72]

No one can see us having anything eh lol

 

[SA444]

Good strike tbf. Not as good as Roofe obviously.

 

[Clubdeckg]

Has it been done with Mexican commentary though?!

 

[niloC]

Suvulle calculator.

 

[Danger Zone]

Not being funny but it genuinely shouldn’t have counted. Ball still moving AND in the wrong position.

 

[Amo was God!]

At least Roofe’s goal was from open play and legit!

 

[Rev Paisley]

Roofe with a last minute winner from 57 metres.

Best goal ever scored, but not really a winner given that we were winning anyway

 

[Ataturk]

That’s about as shite as a 56m goal can be.

 

[VelvetOrange]

Does he pick the ball up on edge of own box and beat 5 men?

 

[Kit_]

Aye but he never beat 3 men to do it did he?

 

[rst99]

The ball is still moving. No goal.

And Roofe's was way better.

 

[yardie]

Wind assisted, doesn’t count under Olympic javelin rules.

 

[Delboy1962]

Ball was moving.
VAR?

No VAR in group stage.

 

[rangersno.1]

The goal shouldn’t have counted ball was still moving.

 

[Born under a union jack]

Pish

Daily record front page tomorrow..

BBC will be getting a piece of that action as well no doubt re-running the which is the better goal

Edit: as predicted they couldn’t wait and as for the part that says ‘Gomez's goal has caused some debate on social media, with some people claiming it should not have stood because the ball appeared to be moving when he hit it.’ You just know other way around it would read ‘the goal shouldn’t have stood as the ball was still moving when struck.’ Hope UEFA step and do the right thing by coming out and saying the goal shouldn’t stand but that would undermine the ref so can see it.

Tim Howard scored from a lot further but his goal wasn’t better than Roofe’s. It’s about more than distance.

 

[Bearsden Bear 77]

Roofe's was better

It wasn't as good, don't worry.

Shouldn’t even have counted , free kick taken from wrong place , the correct place wouldn’t have broke the record & the balls still moving .

You’re right, it’s about the colour of shirt you’re wearing

White?

 

[temperance]

The ball was still moving when he hit it.

 

[JimmyBuffetloyal]

At least five yards away from the foul and a moving ball into the bargain

 

[WinkieWATP]

That’s how I said Defoes goal on Sunday was harder to score. Anyone score one like that tonight?

 

[lovenkrands72]

Roofes was better......

 

[Sam English]

Null and void. The ball wasn't stationary

 

[I believe in Eli]

The ball was moving so shouldn't have counted.

Ref clearly gives a free kick and he strikes the ball whilst it is rolling towards him. I demand this goal is struck (no pun intended) from the records.

Superb again from the media team

 

[RoyalBlue1]

It was longer but not a patch on Roofes goal. Kemar beat 3 men in horrendous conditions and scored a screamer from open play.

The guy tonight had an unopposed kick at the ball, the goal shouldn't have been allowed anyway as the ball was still moving at a free kick..

Pedantic Loyal...

 

[douzpwa]

Ball was moving so shouldn’t have counted

Some strike right enough but not as good as Roofes

Never noticed but you are right good thinking though and lucky to get away with it as the player fouled was still on the ground and there was no second whistle to restart the game! However it has been counted and thats that!

 

[Beer Bear]

Look at us all aww raging.

 

[El Jock Grande Sabia]

Glenn Hoddle just stated it shouldn't have stood & anyway, Roofe beat a few players & scored his in a pitch with puddles. His is better. That works for me.

 

[Mabearette]

Roofe had to deal with a pitch that was swimming with water....and he beat 3 or 4.....

Ally mentioned that too..at least the fact he took on two or three players before shooting

 

[Wugs]

Ballocks
1 It was a free kick and the ball was not stationary , so it shouldn't count.
2 He didn't beat three players in open play before he took the shot.
End of !

 

[Cooper11]

Ball was still moving but their keeper never had cramp

 

[nzb]

Roofe's was 54.6m, as the crow flies but with the height, the dip and the swerve surely closer to 70m

Please tell me you’re not serious with this?

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not

Ball was rolling!

 

[Mondraker]

Ball was still moving. Cheating bastard

Aye what's the deal with that?

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Won’t be long until Shane Duffy emulates them both - or do OGs not count ?

 

[niloC]

Roofe's was 54.6m, as the crow flies but with the height, the dip and the swerve surely closer to 70m

Seems legit.

 

[Grimsdale]

He never beat any khunt, and it was dry. Pish goal.

 

[Wilkinsvolley]

Look at us all aww raging.

Raging? Where?

 

[coops11]

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not

You forgot moisture on the ball...

 

[HereLiesDavidStHubbins]

It's not going to stop me referring to Roofes as his record breaking goal.

it's correct but will trigger the obsessed every single time.

 

[Krissie]

That shouldn’t count, ball was still moving.

I think you're right.

 

[Krissie]

The record breaking aspect of Roofe's goal is a mere incidental. It will live long in the memory of all who witnessed it as one of the best, if not the, best Rangers goal ever recorded to date. Given the pitch and weather conditions, his beating of 4-5 opposition players depending on how you view it, and the fact he had to throw himself off his feet to make the delivery and with accuracy makes it the best IMO.

 

[BlueBearz]

That was quick

https://twitter.com/x/status/1321913987806699520

Should have been disallowed ball was rolling when he took the free kick
