Hands up if you have ever done this...

On a footy pitch or in the park. I have.

Nice to see the professionals give it a go too.

Anyone seen my jumper? Positive it was part of the opposition's left hand post :-D

Not exactly that, I did stop right before the goal and backheel it into the net though :D

Isn't that a yellow card offense? :)

I've seen it done but never done it myself. Mind you, I never had enough pace to get away from anyone like that either to provide me with the time.

I've scored with a bicycle kick though. Still can't believe how I did it but it went like a cannonball to top corner. I bet if I tried it million times, I couldn't do it again. Even opposition lads were in awe!
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Done that more times than I can remember, when playing with mates when I was younger. Wouldn't do it during a match though as it's disrespectful.

Did it in the past...wouldn't do it now though...I'd have trouble getting back up again.

I did it in a 7 a side comp when they allowed me to play out, i pretty much got the same treatment as he did and was called a twat. Was funny as my mate was trying to explain that i was a goalkeeper and id got a bit giddy, which i had.

I've done it but agree with those who say it'd disrespectful.

To be fair though, that's why I did it.

i were that goalie they would still be trying to remove my boot from his mouth
Berbatov wins golden boot, spends following season on the bench while his team loses title on goal difference. Well played, Fergie.

nasty cunt that I am on the football pitch, if someone did it to me as a defender I don't think I could help myself. I'd probably try to 'kick the ball away but miss the ball by few inches'.

Then again, I don't know people who have received more post-game death threats than me. I've never quite understood why I tend to go so overboard when playing football. It's like some inner beast is released when I step into pitch.

Didn't George Best say he thought about doing that in a European cup final?

Kind of thing I'd have found hilarious at five years old but would hate to see now. Do it and you deserve to be called a prat.

Haha I was thinking of putting the exact same but wondered what the reaction would be.

I know what you mean about being a different person on the pitch, im soft as shite off it but i can be a right cynical c*nt when things aren't going our way.

i can actually remember my mate kyle getting so annoyed with people doing that in the park that he said professionals get sent off so that would be the case with us as well. we kept doing it and he used to put his hand up with an imaginary card and say 'sent off for controversy' they were happier times class.
