The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Go on then, I've given everyone 2 votes because I want to vote for Downer's and Louis' 1st. God I'm happy.

The first 7 were all really good goals, but I voted for Faz's and Downer's goals. Farrell's because it was a f**king awesome strike, and Downer's because it put the biggest grin on my face of all of them! :lol:

Not often you get to say that.

I voted the same and for the same reasons, just couldn't stop laughing/smiling after Simon Downer of all people got to tap it in after a goalkeeper howler, a perfect end to a perfect second half :lol:

I know the poll is based on quality of goals, and I really shouldn't vote because I didn't see them, but I didn't want to be left out. ;)


From my point of view I'll say Porters - just before half time is the best time to score, and had we not made it 2-0 then, we may not have had a rout in the second half.

That's very true actually, we desperately needed that second goal, and the longer we went without it the more confident they would have become, and the more nervous we would have. It was actually a very good goal, the ball through to Porter from Tomlin was superb.

It was a very well worked goal and even tho the score doesn't suggest it, Gateshead did have a decent little spell towards the end of the half, so the goal was timely

Whoever voted for Byrnes goal is a legend. Definitely should have been ruled out for handball and I could understand why the Gateshead players were protesting. After all that could have altered the outcome of the game. ;)

Downers goal for me !! made my day, in fact....ive not long been home !!! and still talking about the whole game today .....big smiles and looking forward to work next week :lol:

I voted for Porter's because I think it was THE vital goal, right on the stroke of half-time and made everything else possible - had we gone in just 1-0 up who knows?

In truth its hard to pick a winner, as with the man of the match today, it was a team performance - as shown by the number of scorers today !!
