The Sunnylaw Jag Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Higgy's solo one against Motherwell last season has to be one of the great ones of recent years. It was an amazing high followed by the lowest of lows when we wuz robbed at the end. When he leaves us hopefully in the very long run, he will leave us with a legacy of brilliant goals to look back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 August 21 1974 - Denis v Clyde Firhill League Cup 3-1 win. It will never be bettered - absolutely not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglemon Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 For sheer drama, Billy Gibson at Peterhead or Dools at the Ramsden Cup Final. For skill it has to be O'Donnell against Dunfermline. The tackle to win the ball, the passing through the team and the run to make the chip at the far post. A goal of beauty. Personally can't top this one. Started y O'Donnell on the right, finished by O'Donnell on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Personally can't top this one. Started y O'Donnell on the right, finished by O'Donnell on the left. It still makes you wonder why O'Donnell has been rarely used in midfield since, as he was very effective that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglemon Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 It still makes you wonder why O'Donnell has been rarely used in midfield since, as he was very effective that day. Jags were so rampant that day you could have slipped me into midfield and we'd still have won. And Forbes 2 long range strikes against the pars that season were class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewinGumMacaroonBaaaz Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Rave on Bobby Law. V. Hamilton. 25yards out. Unstopable thunderbolt.... well.... until it hit the post, hit the hapless Andy Murdoch on the back, and ricocheted into the net... getitupye Lambie!!! Great strike. Spawny goal. But the celebration, straight to the shed in a Tardelli - Espana '82 styleee..... stuff of legend. "My strongest position is midfield, but I would play anywhere just to get a game for Thistle" .....

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) It still makes you wonder why O'Donnell has been rarely used in midfield since, as he was very effective that day. The irony being that playing SOD in an advanced position was really a defensive decision. Iirc Husband had been playing extremely well leading up to that game so I think there was a bit of doubling up on him in mind. Possibly also slightly ironical was that O'Donnell started the goal move himself from a deep right back position. I wouldn't be surprised to see SOD playing ahead of Jordan on the odd occasion but more likely as a substitute for Lawless. eta that was my favourite goal of the season. Feel it summed up our greatest strength that season in so much that goals could come from all over the park.

dl1971 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 John Buckley v Morton circa 1982? Mazy run and 30 trader. We won our first 7 games then collapsed. Mo Johnston was in his pomp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Rarely has my chest been at bursting point and my inner being as rabidly effusive so much as when Alex Rae chestied the ball outside the Tims' penalty area and unleashed a volley of sublime, natural beauty into Evan Williams's net. The best ever opening goal of any match ever..... Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry gaz Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) By Decade '70s ...Big Dennis against Clyde '80s.....Iain Jardine's rocket winner against Celtic in the Glasgow cup. Probablly 70 yards out and moved about more in the Air than Kennedy's magic bullet.(Time may have made that one improve in my memory) 90s....Geordies winner at Porkheid, what a moment.The Support that day was brilliant. 2000 s Gereee at Dens 2010s Higgys at Fir park last season , what a run Special mention, Harkins run and chip over the keeper, against Airdrie i think, Issacs chip over Gough and lash past Gormless, Just about every Big Boab free kick, one against Morton especially Edited September 18, 2014 by angry gaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delthejag Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'll keep it best, not important: Shaggy's @ ICT was sheer class etc, but not immortalised in song - Paddy Kelly's Brockville wondergoal, from the touchline right in front of the jags fans, utter magic. Must agree with angry gaz re Shaw @ le piggery, what a day. Vote Yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry gaz Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 For me it had to be David Rowson on the final day of the season against Raith Rovers. An absolute stunner just days after his father passed away. That's a cracker, had a lump in my throat at that moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbank boy Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Dangerous Danny McLinden against Dundee Und, Peter Lindau's third against Stirling Albion, Gerry Brittons stunner at Dundee. Can't remember who it was against but Ramon's header was a special one as well. Danny Mc's for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabbath Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 every goal we score is magic and reading everyone else's takes me back, but one of the best for me was Mark Roberts, Tynecastle, Scottish cup. canny remember the year just the goal. by the way same game was the second best save, deflection and save to keep us from equalising, best save of all time of course was Roughie at Liverpool for Scotland cop end but perhaps that's for another day.

kni Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 All 4 goals in 1971 for me. It was humiliation for a Celtic side that contained Lisbon Lions and a young Dalglish. Most of them played in the final of the European Cup against Feyenoord too. More recently, I still love Chic Charnley's 35 yard screamer against Celtic in Kenny Arthur's testimonial. It was great to see him roll back the years. Unfortunately, the YouTube video seems to have been deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been a while since I had watched my dvd of that match, but I did so about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I had remembered all of the goals as absolute crackers and all potential for goal of the season. Rae's (in my mind was a thunderbolt from about 30 yards out. What struck me is how crappy each goal was. The Celtic defending was absolutely shocking. I guess it's a case of the older I get, the better I was. Having said that, offer it now and I'd take 4 crappy goals to beat Celtic 4-1 in this season's final.

kni Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 ^ Celtic missed McNeil badly but they still had a strong team. IMHO Rae's goal was not crappy and Lawrie's was fine too. MaQuade's goal was bit scrappy but the Celtic simply let Bone walk the ball in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
