Bale vs Scotland 2012

[BlueArmy 86]

At the peak of his powers, what a dream to watch. The way he takes the ball off the free kick taker and sticks it in the top corner that far out, from that angle. One of the best goals I’ve seen live.

What a performance. Nice tune too..

I've never seen that winning goal until now. Might explain my lack of interest in the national team at the time. Sensational! He's spotted a gap then, when he thinks he might be challenged, decides to let fly. He scored so many like it, yet mere mortal footballers would be lucky to hit one in a career.

Hope that you don't drop your interest when we are shite next time.

What interests me at any point in time, or vice versa, is piss all to do with you.

As noted in another thread, Morison started upfront for us in that game.

Thanks for the reminder of his greatness, that is unreal!

I'm not sure "and vice versa" makes sense in that sentence 🤔

That's not once in a generation. It's once in a lifetime. Maybe once in a hundred years. What a ****ing player. Baller.

He probably saved Coleman’s job that night.

Re: Bale vs Scotland 2012

Seeing the shadow of a player he is now it's almost possible to forget just how amazing he was for a few years. Quite possibly (definitely for me) 3rd best in the world for a while.

I don't mean shadow disparagingly either, he's still comfortably our best player and could do a job for us for a few years if he wanted to. But he's a massively different player to that Bale, still capable of moments though.

Such a shame we haven't mastered cloning.

Yes. Another that springs to mind is Andorra(I think) away.

What a player!

Re: Bale vs Scotland 2012

I had such a great view of that, right behind the goal at the perfect angle

Of course.
I just hope fans stick with Wales and City through the bad times...hardly unreasonable.

Re: Bale vs Scotland 2012

At that stage, we were as close as being a “one man team” that you’ll ever get.
