*wear, not were; bottoms, not bottom.

I remember the Ray Goddard penalty. Last game of the 1980-81 season. He scored against Neville Southall in goal for Bury when we were already losing 3-0 and ended up losing 4-2. It didn't matter as we were already promoted. Goddard had a terrible kick. He could barely reach the half way line. I was surprised he kicked the penalty hard enough to hit the net. I was behind the goal in the West Bank end at the front so had a good view of it. These days keepers were huge gloves and short sleeve tops. Goddard wore blue tracksuit bottom and flimsy gloves (if any at all).

The Ray Goddard one was a penalty. It was his last game for us and I think we were promoted from the 4th division iirc.

UA - a penalty iirc?

The one I remeber was almost exactlly like the Gateshead one, Frank Smith clearance, City keeper close to edge of box and it bounces over him (8th January 1966 and we still lost 2-1)

Ray Goddard scored for us vs Bury, last game of a season

A certain G. Francomb scored an added time winner for Dorking v Truro today. Also, Farnham 2-0 Torquay, not a result you'd have dreamed of seeing a few years ago.

Strange game today with the ref doing the jersey vs ashford game loved dishing out cards 3 reds for bulls numerous yellows for ash ford ended up 2-1 to bulls roll on fa cup,game with burgess hillbilly’s next sat

Just looked it up. Lee Carroll "scored" v Hartley Wintney, before our gials panel later credited if to Cooper.

Used to enjoy the banter with the away keepers at KM, especially the CCL, Ryman days

I thought it was Martin, but I guess it must have been Lee Carroll, he would've been there around the same time or just after, maybe ?

Matt (?) Martin, quite short for a keeper, about 5ft 9.

SW - The keeper you are thinking of is Lee Carroll - Matt Martin was the ginger guy

In the CCL we had that ginger keeper who scored at KM with a drop kick, but Kevin Cooper said that he got a touch on it when the ball bounced near him and claimed it for himself. I think the keeper's surname was Martin iirc.

I'm fairly sure I was aware of another Wimbledon one but no idea who by if it wasn't Beasant.

Yeah not in my memory. Only similar memory was Schmeichel scoring at Selhurst Park but it was ruled out for offside.

Don’t remember Beasant scoring

We've done keeper scoring from a clearance a few times, the one I remember (that few will) was away at Cambridge City (66 or 67). Beasant did it once?

Bishop had an injury tail end last season and another start of this pre season. There was talk the reason we were keeping Binnie around was the injury record

Yeah we were much better off just destroying their navy.

CW/Trigger - Came across this the other day [Link] which was a new one on me.

Dan Kanu has joined Notts County on a season long loan

At Maidenhead v AFC Totton today and the ref blew the half time whistle 30 seconds early. Second half therefore started with 30 seconds of the teams playing in their ends of the pitch from the first half, ref blows his whistle and the teams change ends and start the second half.

I was impressed with Sessegnon’s ability to cross yesterday not sure why he is not starting looks a good player
