Just for the sake of being contrary I'm going to start handing out the "Goal of the Weak" this season. Basically any goal whose existence is owed to a goal-mouth scramble, keeper error, idiotic defending or is in some way a gift to the team it's awarded is eligible.
The inaugural "Goal of the Weak" recipient is RBNY's Kevin Goldthwaite. This lucky son of a bitch was able to cash in on Will Hesmer's folly and Juan Pablo Angel's overall bad assitude by borderline falling foot-first into the ball. And that's not me trying to take away from the guy's goal, that's just saying what's what. See for yourself...
So congrats to Goldie. And as the first recipient of this major award you are entitled to a Shiner Bock and the snack cake of your choice on TOR if I ever run into you.

Shiner Bock??? They sell those outside of Texas?
Your Tri-State bias has overlooked both of Kenny Cooper's goals. Cooper did a great job, but the goalie must have lost all his skills when he crossed the pond.
"Shiner Bock??? They sell those outside of Texas?"
Sadly they don't. I have them bootlegged up from Virgina (where they do sell it).
And unfortunately I couldn't find footage of Big Kenny's goal. And i assure you I have no bias: every team is capable of equally unimpressive scoring.
Being from Dallas, and a Shiner lover, I should let you know Virginia is outside of Texas. I've also seen Shiner in a total dive bar in the ATL.
Kenny's goal was a goal of the week nominee (lobs always look impressive), so its gotta be on mlsnet somewhere.
In reality, Goldy's goal is what I consider a garbage goal. The keeper is on the ground, constantly turned around by the ball bouncing all over the place. Pretty hard for a keeper to stop that.
Kenny's 1st goal the keeper was just sinfully out of position.
I'm probably biased myself, being a Dallas fan I see lots of garbage goals (sigh).
Rephrase: They sell it outside of Texas but sadly not in New York.
The furthest North I have seen it it in Delaware, although I have heard reports of it's sale in rural PA.
i'm a texan in connecticut, *sigh* shiner how i miss thee...
ps i thought frankowski's first goal was pretty worthy of this honor
This is the best topic to maintain ever. Considering we have so many weak assed goals in this league we should keep this as a staple.
