It's taken me 19 years to realise Rooney's debut PL goal took a deflection

It doesn’t but who cares
Clearly trick photography/ video editing by a scouser.
I’ve just had the official secrets act through the post.
Can’t really see it. If it does it’s a tiny glance and doesn’t affect the trajectory of the ball, hardly worth mentioning.
That first touch though.
Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed watching from 1:27 on for ten mins.
we were so privileged to have him play for us and for so long, winning so many trophies. Crying shame he’s not appreciated by fans.
Hair-plugged fraud!
Nah
So a few days after being confirmed as Derby County manager, one of his goals is discovered to have been a jammy deflection. What’s next? A rivalry with Bielsa? Leaving his missus for a One Show host?
Yeah it takes a wicked defelection alright, completely bamboozles Seaman and Maradona's second goal against England in 86 is actually a Terry Butcher own goal.
I don’t think it does though
Is this another 500P thing?
Unless you’re in the south stand.
Wow, I definitely had a completely different image of that goal in my mind. I thought he leathered it with his instep. I can definitely see the deflection though, it give it more topspin but doesn’t change the trajectory of the shot. Probably would have hit the bar.
I have watched this a dozen times in last few minutes and still can't say it took a deflection or it didn't. Either way Seaman should have done better. His attempt to save it was latter-day Shilton-esque.
Rooney's best goal was always his volley against Newcastle, anyway.
I firmly believe that all deflected goals should be disallowed.
he really was a superb footballer, United were lucky to have him
Seriously, I've watched that clip like 5 times now and I'm not seeing any deflection.
Let’s unsign him.
Me either. The balls spin doesn't suggest a deflection either.
No idea, the tiniest of deflections at most. Even if, fantastic goal.
He just hits it like a free kick doesn't he. Don't see a deflection in it at all.
Michael Cox in ‘Michael-Cox-is-a-bedwetting-virgin’ shocker.
Needs to bulk up.
For people who can't see it, you need to focus on Cambell's leg not the flight of the ball which is too fast. The deflection is there. But it doesn't matter.
Campbell needs to focus on football and not soup.
I thought it was always obvious, but it's the faintest kind and hardly affects the ball. Can't take away from the greatness of the goal as a debut goal. He topped it at United though...the Newcastle volley and Citeh overhead kick come to mind easily.
I dont see it at all, if it was deflected it was hardly
I genuinely can't see it from those clips.
I think that's my favourite goal scored against Arsenal - instantly iconic, and set up a lifetime of hype and expectation... that he actually went and met. Amazing.

I can’t see it but even if there is one - it is a minor one otherwise we would all be seeing it. I think the way he goes into hitting it, might still have gone in and was looking on target anyway tbh.
Hardly a clear cut case of fraud which diminishes his legacy in any way.

From that (admittedly poor quality and tiny) twitter vid, I'm not seeing any deflection. I'm not going to seek out a better quality vid.
On another note, I didn't remember Everton having a player called "Linderoth". Is that our own Lindelof experimenting with time travel and having the weird side effect of gaining a lisp?

There's no way he's 16. Boy looks like a middle aged man.
The clip has lots of material for the players you have forgotten about, thread.
Looked it up on YouTube. Slowed down the playback speed. I’m still not convinced to be honest.
Another thread shitting on an ex-United player I know it's not
I can't see it.
Wouldn't there be more top-spin on the ball if it took that kind of deflection? It stays swerving the way Rooney hits it.
