CiderHider Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 They keep banging on over Rooneys goal, and yes its a winning goal v Man City, but technically Maynard's strike was much better for me, it was further out and he had more to do. OOohh we'll have him back soon! Anyway heres the two for a comparison, what do you all think? Rooneys Goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest belfastrobin Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Maynards goal was better imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 looking at that and thinking of some of the others he created out of nothing last season, you can't help but feel sorry for any Manager who would have to do without him for 2/3 of a season and more.

chipdawg Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 So not only is Nicky a better footballer than Wayne Rooney, he's not as fat and not as ugly In all fairness, they're both pretty awesome goals; Maynards was more inventive, Rooney's more instinctive. I'd be willing to be that both players (as good as they are) wouldn't score the same goal again if they tried 100 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcfc3660 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Without sounding biased, Maynards goal is alot better. Rory fallon scored a goal like Rooneys when he played for Swindon against us. You don't see many people scoring a peach of a goal like Nicky's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InCider Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Maynard's every time! Completely unbiased of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Any footballer worth his salt will score a goal like Rooney's if they keep trying throughout there career. Personally I thought his goal against Newcastle a few seasons ago was better. Maynard had a lot more work to do and was the harder to execute, if it had been filmed by 17 camera angles like Rooney's it would of looked even better.

havanatopia Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 While Rooney's goal was technically superb it was a one touch movement and he had less opposition around him. Nicky's goal was three touches, he had to make two clockwork like swivel movements while on one tiptoed foot and completely airborne, had two or more players closing on him and had to get the ball on target, heading away from the goal keeper and powerful enough to hit the back of the net. To compare the quality of these two goals is to open for debate the comparable reliabilities of a Morris Marina and a Honda Civic. I don't think Maynard's goal, for pure class, athleticism and perfection will be beaten for many years and we will probably still be talking about it well beyond the housing estate off Ashton Vale has been long demolished for a larger stadium. Rooney's? that will be forgotten as soon as he hangs up his boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 When the goal was scored makes Rooney's better. A last 5 minute bicycle kick winner in a local derby/top of league clash, beats a 2-1 loss away to QPR... But the actually goal by Maynard was better.

Alex_BCFC Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Maynard's goal is better I think but unfortunately it was a consolation in a mid-table Championship game. It did get a lot of praise though and he won goal of the season I think. Both are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Rooney 'shinned' it....but it was pretty spectacular! .....................but not as spectacular as Trevor Sinclair's edge of the penalty are overhead kick for QPR in the late '90's- that was an absloute belter.

NOTR Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Must of seen hundreds of better goals than Looneys down the years and NM's was a lot better.Looney was totally unmarked NM had a lot more to do,and what difference does it make if was in the prem or championship,none.

stevep38 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 When they were banging on about Rooneys goal on the sunday on Talk Sport,, they asked for other great goals so i texed in saying about Nickys goal, it wasnt even included yet they had goals mentioned from years ago in the old 1st division, now prem. Annoyed me a bit as they cant see further than the premier on that programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Maynard's. No contest. Rooney's was a cracker, but you better get used to watching it as it will be shown at least twice as often as it would if Carlos Tevez had scored it in the same match. If Maynard had scored it, it wouldn't be seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westred1 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 U15's? nice try but sorry, epic fail & a WUM that i shouldnt really be replying to as in many ways it doesnt warrant one. (doh) To be fair, Tansley has a point it's different scoring a goal in a sunday league match to scoring a goal in the Premier League against your local rivals of similar qualities in the last 5 mins of a game which could potentially have decided who will win the prem.

CiderHider Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Ah glad to see I'm not alone Seriously though, so many of Maynard's goals have been pure class, we've really missed him this season , just makes you wonder what position we would have been had he been fit in June.

InCider Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Not trying to sound big headed but ive scored about 5 over head kicks this season! some poeple make out that its the hardest thing to do in the word, well let me tell you, its not!! Both goals are great but Maynard get the vote for me as it wasnt just a over head kick, he showed amazing skill in the build up to the over head kick that wins him my vote. Perhaps the other 4 were scored by your faulty computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon uk Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I really liked rooneys goal, although I think he is very overrated. what do you chaps think of this goal, by hugo sanchez of real madrid in the 80s, its similar to the rooney goal, but he catches it an absolute peach - awesome.
