Blue n White Rover Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 It's been advertised recently on the official website, I've never actually see it take place. It's been taking place at HT in the last 2 home games. Few kids having a pop, as well as adults. Good fun, but on Sunday, one contestant was making a huge hole in the ground with his boots so he could have a good shot at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyIvan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The club's held it at half time for the last 2 home games. No-one has got close Only one guy has come close to getting the ball in the air past the goals let alone hit the crossbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyDirk Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Has anyone seen Salgado's version of the challenge where he launces the goal posts across the halfway line to hit the ball? Quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddboy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I entered the draw to have a crack at the crossbar challenge through the offy website and got through! I'll be taking to Ewood at half term during the Arsenal game – should be a laugh. Surely I can't do any worse than any of the other fans that have had a go in recent weeks. Crikey, if Pascal Chimbonda can ping a ball 40 yards, I'm damn sure most people can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Just wear trainers and don't try to toe poke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Take a pair of football boots, surely? If you're going to have a go, give yourself the best chance possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_gallagher85 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Don't turn up in a suit like that numpty on Sunday Saw one bloke on Sunday almost make it but was just wide of the goal. Oh, and give Di Santo a slap if he tries getting in your way like he was doing on Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I was quite impressed with Diouf immediately after the no-marks had a go. Ok, he was just outside the edge of the penalty area but he hit it twice in succession. I think Di Santo hit it once too. Some of those people who attempt it are useless. Surely you'd have some range practise at Pleasy a couple of weeks before hand. After all, £1000 is not to be sniffed at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddboy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Footy boots are a must and, no, I won't e wearing a suit. Perhaps I'll wear a Mankini instead... Either way, I'll give it a good go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Most people run straight at the ball, as if taking a penalty. I've never seen anyone yet who would try a Johnny Wilkinson type of kick; similar to taking a corner kick. You have to loft the ball high into the air with pace. Very difficult.

thenodrog Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 From what I have seen only non footballers and people with two left feet need apply. Some will find the ineptitude hilarious but I find it more cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
