I put it to you that the best goals are goals that make you laugh and the best goals that make you laugh are those born of outrageously funny brilliance rather than outrageously funny catastrophe. It is, therefore, a wholly inadequate piece of co-commentary to describe one of the most audacious and flat-out brilliant goals you could ever wish to see. Does it sound like the sort of goal that makes you jump out of your seat, invent four new swear words and then laugh your cock clean off at the base while marvelling at the sheer absurdity of all you’ve just witnessed? Now try and picture a goal that could accurately be described by those words. Pretend you don’t know what goal is being described there, or which co-commentator is doing the describing.
