Two moments of brilliance not preserved ..

If I remember these right:
1. from the derby - MIcah Richards won the ball near his own penalty area with a real good tackle and went on a great surging run upfield, then put in a shot from distance that just missed.
2. Balotelli at QPR - saw the keeper off his line and tried a Beckham-like lob from out on the touchline on half way that went over the bar.
Neither went in, either one could have been goal of the season if it had, but it's a shame these two magic moments ended up cut from the replays and highlights i've seen. Anyone else struck by them, anyone know where to find them again?

To be fair both times they shouldve held the ball up or taken it to the corner. I'd have done the same in their shoes though so I'll let them off.

Apart from the fact that mario should have taken the ball to the corner the attampt was so waaaay off target it can hardly be called a moment of brilliance can it? Typical of the player to go for it but the execution was more Sunday league than brilliance.

If I remember I think Mr DH has a more accurate description of the event,remember when I saw it and though that was a bit shit.
