Mike Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Isak's chip has me thinking about those moments where we were inches away from something absolutely legendary. Can you think of any moments where we almost got an all time goal, but the ball just couldn't find the net? This is my favorite example: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) Rob Lee vs Brentford is the only answer an NUFC fan can give - those of us who were there are still pissed off 30 years later edit: in thinking about it, you were asking for nearly goals as in coming close ... still, happy for Rob Lee's fifty yard volley on his other foot to be in here Edited September 4 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Haha was just typing Rob Lee vs Brentford. I was in the Milburn paddock in front of where he hit it from. Still raging. The only answer. Close the thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never met anyone who was at that game who isn't still thoroughly fucked off about it Mike was asking about almost goals that almost hit the net, so I reckon thread can still run on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Can’t seem to find it but Martins rattled the crossbar from like 40 yards out against Chelsea in the league cup back in 2005/6 I think. If someone has a link please post it as I couldn’t find it just now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 If we're to include disallowed goals, I'd add Tiote's vs Man City To stick to the original premise of the thread - what about Shearer's shot after clever build-up vs Man Utd in 96 which almost broke the post? Happily, we did manage to find the net a few more times ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Shearer hitting the post in the FA cup Final v Arsenal. Can't share a clip as I've never watched the game back after being there on the day. Probably nowhere near but God it would be great to see us score in bloody final once in my life time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Colo hit the post/bar from outside of the box with a header? Or am I imagining that. Was at the martins Liverpool game in with the Liverpool fans and had been silent all game, fully lost it at that though. Fortunately we were 3 down at the time so nobody too bothered.
