    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

An Impossible goal

Dibo is this you in the youtube ... a remarkable analysis of a goal ... hope you enjoy this guy's analysis of a goal .. maybe someone good at maths can verify his maths and claims...

The guy didn't mention possible variants to all the maths formula like the possibility of swirling wind in the stadium or Carlos' body posture at the time of taking the shot (leaning away from the ball to place a curve on the delivery?).

Bloody great shot though, and if it was to be rated like they do in the Diving Comps. that attempt would have rated very high in difficulty. Accomplished with uncanny perfection although I think the goalie may have got a hand onto it (which also may have aided the curve into the goal).

He's a dick. Those numbers and whatnot are all horseshit.

f**k the maths, you can see exactly how he did it. The keeper thought he was crossing, so started coming out. The shot bent away hard because he struck the ball coming across his body with the outside of his boot. Absolutely anyone can hit a shot, pass or whatever that goes hard and bends away hard by striking with the outside of the boot. They're hard to control though.

The numbers on the angle are meaningless because of the bend on the ball. The further the ball bends, the more the angle opens up. Roberto Carlos can bend a ball a long way.

The keeper came past it and had to reach backwards, so all the bullshit about the keeper's reach etc. is irrelevant. The keeper wasn't in the spot that doofus did all the numbers on.

Any one of us can physically hit that shot, and we'd all have a chance of scoring. Our chances would be far smaller as we wouldn't be as accurate, but the basic physics are very simple at gut level.

Roberto Carlos has scored loads of crazy goals, like this one:

Is this doofus's next trick to *prove* that goal was impossible too?

What a retard.  Somebody should tell him that triangles usually don't have curved sides - the moron hasn't bothered to take the curve into his equations either.

F****** incredible shot though - but you've gotta have confidence oozing out of your anus to even attempt a shot from that position!

By this clown's equations, scoring a goal direct from a corner is also impossible.....

How can it be impossible?? It obviously is possible cause it happened. Am thinking someone just needed to justify their pay.

Who is going to pick the Mariner goal and make a similar youtube... but must get the maths right ..Who could we get to front the camera ... The Impossible Mariner goal I remember in Hal 3 Kwas came in from the left and firt hit from well outside the box went bang and it curled and dipped..

given it seems most of us are agreed that the guy's a retard and that it's obviously not impossible, how bout you do it?
