Anyone Scored more Long Bangers then the Gaffer?

[cooperman]

Whit? Never heard that,ever.
Long bangers are link sausages.

Right, when did the term long bangers start getting used and what banger came up with it?

Sounds like something that moron Paul Merson would say.

Probably age dimming the memory, but I seem to remember most of Le Tissiers ( that weren't penalties where he got 47 from 48 attempts ) were crackers.

how Le Tissiers only got 8 caps for England yet they were playing the likes of Calton Palmer I'll never know.

Hoddle picked him and Mutton for a B international, Mutton refused to play and his international career was over, Tiss played, scored a hat trick, hit the bar and set up a goal, but still didn't make the world cup squad. He may have been a lazy trainer, but he had that flash of genius to be able to turn a game that England so often ignored or underused ( Worthington, Marsh, Currie etc ).

 

[DurhamBear]

Hope to see some similar long bangers next time I visit Ibrox to see the famous.

Because they played in different positions I'd imagine...

 

[Marquess of Maida Vale]

I'm sure Wayne Rooney scored with an old banger once

 

[Gary]

 

[Hammerinho]

What the fück is a long banger

 

[Caldow1872]

er it's not a new term

It’s no a term used by anyone bar you haha

 

[Echo_1]

Long bangers, never heard that before.

You've just made that up and are now trying to cover your tracks by telling us it's a well known phrase.

Le tiss went through a period where he won goal of the month about 3 times in a row

What the fück is a long banger

this week we've had you calling the manager a homo and now this.. whats wrong with this board

 

[Edmond Dantes]

Oooh I love it when a long banger powers in!

 

[CalgaryLoyal]

I've delivered a few long bangers to some lucky wummin

 

[irvine96]

Aye a term commonly used to describe goals scored from shots at distance,

I've heard of shots from distance as long rangers but never long bangers

 

[Edmond Dantes]

I've always thought I had a long banger in me!

 

[weebaggy]

Oh yeah that's a really good shout but can you think of a more recent one?

Loved them both and struggle to think of a more recent one apart from a selfish Jorg Albertz mention

 

[Marquess of Maida Vale]

Aye a term commonly used to describe goals scored from shots at distance,

I would perceive the term Long Bangers to be a colloquialism for kicking the ball far, as I would usually associate it with either large sausages or noisy fireworks.

 

[TN8]

Dion Dublin and Lorenzo Amoruso apparently.

 

[Scoot]

Alvaro Recoba- Inter and Uruguay

 

[Scoot]

Take your pick from any of the Dutch 74 & 78 teams (except Wim Jansen)

 

[Monty_greenock34]

If a met my pals at the pub and told them that i scored 'a long banger' in my game today id get punched right oot ma trainers n sent home.

 

[Enclosure Blue]

Long Bangers?

It should be a long ban for simply honkin' patter..

 

[Blue Hotel]

Growing up in the 70/80s this dood sticks in the memory as when he hit it, it stayed hit.

After that, I think the Angel Gabriel wins all hands down.

Genius of a player.

 

[blueboy74]

Albertz must have scored loads of goals from distance with that thunderous left foot of his .

 

[Wilkinsvolley]

er it's not a new term

It’s not a common term.

 

[Blue Hotel]

Albertz must have scored loads of goals from distance with that thunderous left foot of his .

Yip. Loads. But not close to being thread worthy.

 

[Edmond Dantes]

Can't tell you how many long bangers I've grabbed at ...im a gk

 

[Renoranger]

Roberto Carlos scored many sensational goals.

 

[Edmond Dantes]

Roberto Carlos scored many sensational goals.

How many long bangers did he stroke in?

 

[Edmond Dantes]

It’s not a common term.

It is in polo lounge

What the fück is a long banger

I checked the rule book and it has the following explanation of a long banger :

42.C sub section 15 - A long banger is any goal scoring shot taken outwith the 18 yard box that is above the height of a grass cutter.

 

[Gogso]

Mr Greig hit a few long range ones.
More than a few ended up miles high & wide.

 

[The Blue Iceberg]

aye you do but those are called penalties

Short Bangers surely?

 

[RFC97]

Worth noting how early he takes the shot everytime, totally catches the keeper and defence off guard

 

[ThePizzaCat]

Hauf chargers and long bangers!

Canny take any more of this!

 

[senefelder]

Leaving aside the OP's humorous description of long range shots. Bobby Charlton, close thread. Oh and with both feet.

 

[aghalee_hero]

Mendieta, Nedved, Le Tissier all spring to mind for doing it regularly as well as Gerrard and more or less the same era.

 

[Gersboyjohn]

Not only was his goals outstanding.. a lot of them were important goals aswell which make them that bit more special.

 

[robandmundt]

Nobody has ever used the phrase a long banger and the OP is fuckin at it

 

[Overanout]

Hitzlsperger scored quite a few.

 

[Inactiviated]

Ronson

 

[Renoranger]

Freddie Mercury

 

[TN8]

42.C sub section 15 - A long banger is any goal scoring shot taken outwith the 18 yard box that is above the height of a grass cutter.

Surely they mean a Low Chopper?

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

A quick Google showing "Long Bangers" being used twice ever, once on a Hearts forum from 2008 and then this thread. Long bangers indeed.

 

[Hateleysheid]

Hitzlsperger scored quite a few.

Hitzlsperger only scored them when behind.

 

[allygaitken]

Whit? Never heard that,ever.
Long bangers are link sausages.

true but are square sausage known as Lorne sausage or square slice or just slice?

 

[AnglianBear]

Not until you watch all those goals at once you see that he was quite easily, one of the best in the world.

The technique on some of those goals. He had some shot on him. He hasn't lot it either as the recent video of him online was showing!

 

[archimedes]

Long Bangers !!


I like it.

 

[Drumchapel-Bear]

Definitely not. Not that I can think of anyway.

Its the stage he done it on and the big goals that he scored as well that make Gerrard stand out.
