All the videos keep being removed from YouTube because of copywright issues – this one is up at time of writing.
Here is the goal in gif format:
And here is the guilty party – the most hated man (boy) in Liverpool:
(Original removed – can only find this one, with Alex Ferguson added…)
As you can see from the last gif, it’s not a balloon at all, but some sort of beach ball thing. Hence the deflection. That chavvy kid must be extremely unpopular right now.
Note the times on the two gifs!
(It’s fake)
Or maybe they found footage from the camera which was looking at the crowd and replayed it later in the match to show where the ball had came from?
I can’t see the main camera looking at some random Scouse kid when the ball’s in the midfield, so why would they put that there if it wasn’t a replay?
What about the times? One ends at 24:10 the other starts at 24:11, how from that you can conclude that it’s fake is really beyond me.
Because the goal was scored in the 5th minute…
Why think it’s fake? Have you not read one news report, watched one bit of football news, or read any football related site on the net?
Of course it’s real. It happened.
My God, the goal happened in slow motion as well!
Hmmmm, its almost like they showed the goal later on in the match in some sort of replay…. Nah, thats just crazy! Your right, it is a fake, it didnt actually happen
Matt, they showed the guy hitting the ball, then they showed a replay of the goal… its not focket science!!!
Matt, ever heard of replays?
Ha ha – just relaying what I was told. Maybe it is real! Of course it could be a replay but where I found the original gif they were saying the times were doctored.
Gif gone – dammit. I will try and find another. Knew I should have re-hosted…
It’s obviously authentic…because I watched the match and it happened! Kinda funny to see Reina going for the beach ball Lol.
But the Alex Fergerson part is fake..but still funny!
