Rhys Oates

Quoted from arryarryarry

"Good luck to Rhys Oates.

Bad luck to Grimsby Town.

I hope the lad scores a bucketful of goals, but that Grimsby lose every single game he plays in. And the ones he doesn't play in, too.

I won't forget being chased around Cleethorpes when I was 15 years old. VVankers. First-ever away game, too."

Only a few male masturbators !!!!!

They certainly have. I remember being 13 or 14 and we beat Barnsley 1-0. Coming out the ground a fat Barnsley fan in his 40s walking past the other way grabbed me by the throat and dumped me on the floor. Terrifying moment for a kid. I hope that guy is dead but I'm not dumb enough to believe he was representative of all their fans.

Quoted from Les Brechin

It was the power with which he hit the shot that really made that goal. It was past the keeper before he could dive. If he hit it any softer then I reckon the keeper would probably have saved it. I'd love to know how fast that ball was traveling when it left his boot.

I have measured it with a stopwatch five times, and my average time for five measurements was 0.45 sec from when kicked to entering the goal.
If you count it as being almost on the penalty area line then it travelled 18 yards in 0.45 seconds.
That equates to 81.82 mph.

You can not just use a stopwatch Tom,

To get an accurate speed you have to take into consideration all  of the following,

Altitude of the ground

Wind Speed  + or -

Curvature of the earth

Was the film you was looking in HD or not,

It's not as easy as you think mate.  

Cheers Pete, I'll bear that in mind !!

But in this instance it's near enough for me.

Near enough is not good enough Tom,

It's got to be spot on.

Watched MoTD 2 last night, and they were showing some "bullet" shots, and a couple by Henry and Shearer were high 70's mph, so you are definitely in the right ball park Tommy in my view

Thanks Lee
Not suggesting it's spot on, but somewhere close
