As this is classed as social media these days, not BBS or whatever, I think it comes under that umbrella. So, OWTB doesn't own the content anyone posts. OWTB provides a platform, and that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 A square peg in a round hole? Under the right manager and in his favoured position I think he would have been decent. He probably spoke out and was subsequently alienated, I’m not saying he was perfect but neither were Unsworth’s ridiculously negative tactics!

Worcester Owl Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 It’s a great goal and all credit to Rooney for spotting the opportunity and having a go. There is though a reason (apart from the obvious) why goals like that one, Beckham’s and even Pele’s famous near miss are so memorable - they occur rarely. If the goalkeeper hadn’t been so far off his line, Rooney wouldn’t have scored. I’ll be told I’m out of touch with the modern game, but I always worry when a keeper strays outside the six yard box!
