O'Loughlin's was worse!

Except it scored which makes it better.

Yes it did, but I still think it was worse.

You have a very unorthodox approach to football.

Let's hope he can pull up his socks and try to knock a couple between the sticks this week.

Yeh...A professional athlete should never kick the ball that poorly. From that distance it shoud always be atleast a point. He's not very accurate on the run i dont think...

Yeah but his goal in round 17 was voted goal of the round and is in the running for goal of the year - no other swan has that honour this year!

Not quite sure what determines "in the running" for GOTY but both O'Loughlin and Kennelly have scored goals that were deemed to be GOTW, which I thought meant they were in the running for GOTY.

As my journalist/arts friends always say (see erin - your advice is useful) never let the facts ruin a good argument!

Thats why they used to wrap Fish and Chips in newspaper, it was the only use they could find for it.

So you seem to think that professional athletes are machines - never make mistakes and never let the nerves affect them!!
