What’s your favourite type of goal ?
The 25 pass team goal
The individual dribble from the half way line
A lovely free kick
Overhead kick
A scruffy goal mouth scramble
Bullet header
Half way line goal
Plenty more etc
For me can’t beat a clean volley from outside the 18 yard box, Rooney v Newcastle, Scholes v Villa etc
HOWITZER !!!

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
Goals against B****** Rovers are always nice no matter how they go in.
Apart from that, an individual goal is normally my favourite. Something like Glen Little vs Bristol Rovers.

Robbie Blake vs Wolves is a great underrated individual goal, never gets spoken about.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
Volley or half volley, preferably at distance off the under side of the bar. But even a close range shot, penalty or header, off the underside of the bar does it for me.

One that comes out of the blue and takes your breath away with its impact. In other words, Pato v Reading! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=246301526555008

The 25 pass team goal for me. Barnes v Wigan was my favourite, closely followed by Hendrick v Everton.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
Just anything with a piece of brilliance attached to it.
Burnley ones that come to memory first were
Steven Defour’s turn and run v Hull at Turf
Robbie Blakes thunderous volley v Utd.
Steven Defour’s scooped lob in the cup.
Theres hundreds more. But these pieces of brilliance make a goal beautifully unique.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
I like a bullet header, but my favourite goals are loopy benders from the edge of the box and across and over the keeper.
My favourite ever Burnley goal was Adrian Heath v Chester… a ball over the top from David Eyres, the right footed pull down and looped shot into the top right corner by Inchy.
Also loved Bergkamp’s curled effort past Perez of Sunderland at Roker Park.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
A winger beating a couple of defenders , getting to the by line crossing to a centre forward - or striker these day - met with a bullet header past the despairing dive of a goalkeeper.
After that a full on volley from outside the box into the top corner.

Agree, My all time favourite is the goal that means that the team I'm supporting/playing for has scored at least one more than the opposition when the final whistle has been blown.

I used to love lingerie shot, top corners.
Nowadays I much prefer a great cross and header. Barnes first against Rovers or Wood's disallowed from McNeil Cross.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
A goal that absolutely sucks the life out of the other team when they think they are on the ascendancy.
Think Mike Conroy at Northampton for the winner in 91-92. Northampton pressing for a winner after getting back on level terms then a quick counter attack when they’ve committed too many players forward and the ball is slammed home in front of the away fans to send them mental.
That guy with the crutch must have forgot he had a broken foot for those couple of minutes after that went in.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
Any Burnley goal.
Any goal at all though. I've never been a scorer of spectacular goals when I was young, nor nowadays as a walking footballer. A typical goal for me is like the one I scored today, someone else shot, it was blocked, someone else blasted it and I stuck my foot out and diverted the shot which was going wide into the far corner. Great goal!!! My 41st of the calendar year

The more unique/innovative ones like Gundogan at Everton a couple of months ago or Giroud’s scorpion kick.

Volleys from distance every time for me. Crouch v City. Scholes did it a few times. Neves v Derby. Van Persie v Charlton.
Burnley wise - Hendrick v Bournemouth is one of my favourites in recent years.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
I know he's a boring ex b****** but I love this one that Shearer scored for England. There's somthing about the fact that he elects to just smash it in the top corner despite all the time and space he had. I appreciate the confidence/arrogance it takes to have that kind of belief in your ability and maybe that makes this one particularly memorable for me.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
Dwight McNeil against West Ham on the Turf.
A low cross from one side which goes right across to the opposite winger, who scores from a tight angle - ideally but not exclusively on the stretch and up high into the roof of the net.

Re: What’s your favourite type of goal ?
Always had a liking for goals, usually on a heavy pitch, where a centre forward runs onto a high, forward ball, heads it on to himself, and then smashes the ball past a dazed ‘keeper.
An example is Billy Hamilton’s second(and Burnley’s 4th) against Spurs, at White Hart Lane in 1983.

Andy Payton's " Cruyff turn " and finish v Cambridge Utd in the promotion season ..
Frank Worthington's classic for Bolton v Leicester ( 1976 ? ) ...
Failing that, a thunderbolt that pings in off the bar or post ....
