Bamber Bridge FC were set to make the journey home after a 0-0 draw with Scarborough Athletic on Saturday when their bus broke down, stranding them more than 130 miles from home. With no transportation in sight, they made the most of the situation by flagging down a tractor and hitching a ride to the nearest pub.
Cheltanham Town’s free kick routine started off strong, with three players running past the ball in attempt to confuse Tranmere. But the actual shot…well, that wasn’t really worth the buildup.
Cheltanham still won 1-0, though. Presumably when this shot re-entered orbit and found its way into Tranmere’s net.
This is just pure cruelty, wind. To turn a kick from that spot on the pitch, in that direction, into an own goal is sick, twisted bastard-dom.
Granted, the goalkeeper didn’t do his team any favors, but let’s not get distracted here. This is about the depravity of the wind. And it’s gotten so much worse since this classic…
Oxford City wasted no time in equalizing after Chelmsford City took a 2-1 lead in the second half of a National League South match, scoring directly from the ensuing kick off.
Making his debut for Oxford City, Grenada international Bradley Bubb laced a perfect shot between the crossbar and the goalkeeper’s outstretched hand before many Chelmsford players even knew the match had been restarted.
That proved to be the final goal of the match, because how can you top that?
