Cambo_Jambo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Not seen it mentioned anywhere but I thought it deserved it. He may be completely Tom Kite but that is one of the most incredible finishes I've seen at Tyncastle. Victory makes me magnanimous and generous with my praise.

jayjay Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Fantastic finish but could and probably should have been prevented. A ball travelling over 40,50 yards over the top should NEVER catch out two centre halfs and a keeper. He was only twelve yards out when he made connection with the ball. For a ball to travel that distance in the air and the keeper not coming to collect it is bad goalkeeping. So although it was a fantastic finish it was or should have been easily dealt with.

He may be completely Tom Kite but that is one of the most incredible finishes I've seen at Tyncastle. Victory makes me magnanimous and generous with my praise. It was a good finish, but hardly incredible! I also noticed after watching the highlights that if Karipidis hadn't lost plot after he'd lost the ball the chance would never have come.

jambojim52 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thought the Balloch was caught in no-mans land. He was too far out and should have come for it, or stayed on his line and perhaps saved it. Ho Hum we won and I will give the Sheep the benefit of the doubt and say good goal well taken.

bighusref Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 It was one of those goals that are often labelled great goals, two speculative efforts from Aberdeen players that resulted in a goal. On the Match of the Day goal of the month competition, it was always a lottery as to who picks the winner. Do they go for the thirty yard belter or the technical football goal. I don't think the guy playing the long ball forward intended setting it up for a volley for Mackie. I think that Mackie could try that exact same volley another hundred times and fail to hit the target. Good finish, but with a fair amount of luck in there. For example, I think our first goal was a far better goal. Cross with the outside of the foot, good lay off by Obua and finish by Nade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboruss Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 disagree well taken but avoidable as firstly a bad pass from us, followed by poor marking and bad positioning by the keeper made it easier for him he did however, time his run and finish well Come back Kello. thought Ballogh looked dodgy on a number of occasions on saturday!

Chad Sexington Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Long speculative punt, indecisive defending and goalkeeping, good volley.

To say it was one of the most incredible finishes you've seen at Tynie suggests you don't get down Gorgie way very often. As an Hearts fan, I ought to know a thing or two about hoofball or so the flairmeisters across the city believe...so from my position as an afficionado of the hoof, I?d say it was a damned fine crossfield hoof, one that David Beckham would have been proud of no less... Seriously though I cannot think of a better losing goal at Tynecastle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambie15 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Good finish and a good ball from Mulgrew but to say it was incredible is a bit too much. If Eggert Jonsson was in a better position, the goal would have never of come IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I said to my mate on saturday that it was a cack goal to concede, however viewing the highlights, it was actually a superbly taken goal. Never mind, let us all do the usual Scottish thing and dismiss it as a lucky hoof into the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for Balogh rushing out of his goal a couple of times in the first 5 mins, we would have gone a goal down! IMO Balogh played a great game.

brownkg Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Whilst not putting it all down to luck (Ballogh came and cleared up a couple of simialr punts during the game and our centre backs got better still with some miscommunication) I thought our three spectators allowed the goal rather than vintage hibs copying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Not even close to being in the same league to the volley from Mackie's strike partner on Saturday a while back against Killie (IIRC). Thankfully that was in a Hearts shirt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 It was a good finish but a very poor goal to lose defensively - I think Jonsson was badly caught out. I can't help thinking that had Berra still been in the team Mackie would have got nowhere near connecting with the ball in the first place.

Cambo_Jambo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Speculative, yes. Lucky, yes. Both of these facts do not stop it being a great finish do they? He wanted to score, he took a chance and it hit the back of the net. Just because he was jammy doesn't mean it is suddenly invalid as a good finish. As to the inclusion of incredible, perhaps I exagerated slightly. Always exagerate in posts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Almost all goals are avoidable. Our two certainly were. Most also involve an element of luck. I thought at the time it was good goal. The through ball split the defenders perfectly, Mackie's run was perfect, and his finish could hardly have been better (if maybe a touch fortunate). Harsh to blame Johnsson - much more experienced central defenders would have struggled IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winston churchill Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 as i said on saturday, and again after seeing it on tv. the balogh could have done something about it. the ball was just hoofed from the half way line and he had time to come out.

Thunderstruck Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If it had been at the other end, it would have been goal of the season, defensive errors or not. Mulgrew's punt was speculative but Mackie's finish at pace on a ball coming over his shoulder was impressive. Hopefully, Eggert will be allowed to learn from mistake and not be branded a "bombscare" by the usual suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a whisker away from offside when the ball is crossed over Just one of those goals I'm afraid.

kissthebadge Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 it was a great finish and like many great finishes, there's an element of luck. How many times do u see the likes of Torres & Ronaldo stick the ball through the legs of the 'keeper. Great finishes but also, in a way, lucky.

Doc Rob Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thought the crossfield ball was better than the finish myself. Dropped with pinpoint accuracy onto Mackie's boot. Fluke? Perhaps. Looked damn good though. Pat Nevin was quite right to say that if a Man Utd player did that everyone would assume it was a sublime piece of skill. Just glad we won the game.

151 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 IMO it was a hopeful punt in the general direction of our box and mackie just got something on it.

Only a Game Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Good ball from Mulgrew in that it gave Jonnson and Balogh something to worry about, but its Jonnson's job to clean that up without a doubt and he's watched the ball come right over his head and drop perfectly for Mackie. Mackie's actually controlled the finish by sidefooting it past Balogh. A good finish but Eggerts fault it got as far as Mackie. No harm done in the end.
