I was dead in line with this in the South Africa Road Stand. I remember all the Barnsley fans applauding it too. 👏👏👏

Such a great game, Impey losing his head too was funny in hindsight. After the game, a teenage boy who’d been sat along from us said it had been his first game and asked “Is it always this good?” |  | | |

I was also sitting inline with Trev in SA Rd. It looked so much better than the TV angle from the gantry. It’s funny, I can’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday but I remember that goal clear as day. |  | | |

I was there in SA that day and also dead level with Trev , I remember thinking WTF was he doing when he shaped up , pure bedlam after , funny thing is a friend of mine missed it as he went for a slash he was gutted when he saw it on MOTD
The thing people forget is what a game it actually was , Barnsley were a good side then |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I'm always interested to observe the reaction of opposition fans when outstanding goals are scored against their team - does anyone applaud, for instance? With Tricky's transcendental effort, there's a guy near the front of the Barnsley lot who makes some kind of outraged punching motion that could be hostile, congratulatory, or both, while a handful do actually clap, which warms the heart. At moments like that, football rivalry is exceeded, and you're tributing the magic of the game itself. [Post edited 25 Jan 12:35]

For everyone who says they were inline with that volley, Loftus Road would have had to be T-shaped with row Z of the South Africa road stand backing onto the Westway.
That said, I was in C block. |  | | |

I was in the lower loft, always enjoy watching replays and seeing the one Barnsley fan go mad (right of their goal) always thought he was having a pop at the keeper as if he should have saved it. |  | | |

I was in the lower loft that day, and missed it as someone was heading out in front of me for a liquid in/out. I didn't own a telly then so it was only in the Internet age that I got a proper look at it. | | | |

I was directly under the tv gantry so had the same view we see on tv. Momentary stunned silence then eruption. Even some Barnsley fans were clapping. |  | | |

Front row of Ellerslie next to my Dad. Trev and Brevett running toward us when they were celebrating.
My other overriding memory of that was the bloke next to me jumping around so much he fell over the hoarding and landed on the pitch. He jumped back over quickly, but then a few mins later 2 coppers came along picked him out and took him away - leaving his bewildered looking mrs behind. My dad immediately made me switch seats. |  |

I was pretty pissed off about being sat so close to the away end…. There was a lot of empty seats to my left | | | |

Was in South Africa Road stand.
Didn't think it was massively special at first glance.
Used to think it was an overrated moment.
We beat Barnsley !!! |  |

Barnsley were a top team then and we beat them with 10 men as well as our keeper letting one in between his legs , it was a 5 goal thriller in an fa cup forth round game which im pretty sure the week before we drew 4-4 with port vale , and none of that you rated !!! Yet you go all giddy about this team every week , | |

I too was sitting in South Africa road , in line with Trevor for that goal … or at least I thought ii was ? Hearing how many others were aswell is making me want to look up my ticket incase I imagined it .
To this day I will argue with anyone that that was one of the greatest goals ever scored ! |  | | |

Argued with my dad all the way back to Scunny who insisted it was only about 6-8 yards out and I was exaggerating. We used to stand at the back of the Q Block TBF so could see fck all.
I wasn't allowed to stay up for match of the day when we got in but he came in while I was nodding off and just whispered "fair enough you were right"  |  | | |

I was also in line in SAR with my R's supporting sister-in-law and we just looked at each other in disbelief and then all hell broke loose! I remember Barnsley had been singing their favourite chant "it's like watching Brazil" all 4 sides then started singing it !!!
My favourite all time R's goal. |  | | |

Was dead in line with this too, but in Ellerslie.
I'd left my daughter with friends who lived just off Askew Road. When I went to pick her up after the game, they said: what happened? We all heard this enomous roar.
That's right, the roar was so loud, they heard it over a mile away! |  |

The Guardian football podcast last year did an hour of which the first 30 minutes was a tribute to Terry Venables and the second half was talking about great overhead kicks through time. The only mention QPR got in the whole thing was the goal we conceded to Sebastien Coates of Liverpool (of course). Really quite an achievement of broadcasting that. | | | |

I stopped listening to it years ago because became The Guardian post-Sky Premier League Football Podcast.
It was very funny, but pure elitism. | |
