The highest scoring match of all time ... 149-0!

[matp]

... is an interesting story which I though I would post here under the circumstance (please move if I am wrong).

The world record for the highest Scoreline in Football is 149-0, set in Autumn 2002. It is recognised by The Guinness Book of Records. AS Adema beat their arch-rivals SO de l'Emyrne 149-0 after a controversial decision by the referee. This caused an argument between the SO l'Emyrne coach and the referee himself. As a protest, SO de l'Emyrne deliberately scored 149 own goals. Spectators say that after each kick-off the ball was kicked into their own goal.

:rofl:

This happened in Madagascar. I am told that the manager got suspended for 3 years as a result!

Raises all kinds of mad questions for me. The referee must have decided to help them do it because you can't score 149 goals in 90 minutes on a clock without help from the ref. That is unless they have mandatory minutes added on per goal. In that case the goals could have gone in faster than the minutes used up and the game could have gone on for ever in principal! Did the just score every goal from the center kick or did they mix it up? Can you imagine what the fans made of it!

Of course the real tragedy here is that there is probably no video of this and I would love to invite a few mates over, settle down for a beer and watch this match. :grin:

Not if they're SO de l'Emyrne fans. They'd think you're just rubbing salt in a very deep wound

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think I know any SO de l'Emyrne fans. I'll check before I invite them :up:

Great story, wonder what the fans made of it.

It is doable. 90 minutes, plus 5 injury time in each half = 100 minutes.

100 minutes * 60 seconds = 6000 seconds

6000/149 = 40.2

The strikers would have to take kick off, keeper touch it into his own net, pick it up and launch it back for centre to be re spotted within 40 seconds.

If the correct 30 seconds per goal were to be added, there would be an extra 74.5 minutes of game time. [164.5 in total (9870 seconds)] this process would be able to happen every 66.2 seconds, which is more than doable.

That must be why some nutters on fifa (ps3) keep scoring own goals for no apparent reason. They obviously get every kick-off and it leaves me waiting for a touch!

Villa better watch out, that'll be next on our list of records to break


....If JD scores about 80 goals next week I reckon he'll finish with the golden boot

I would think he would be nailed on for top scored at least. Still you never know - a lot of teams still need to play Wigan.

If you take in to account that a goal is scored every 30 seconds (that's taking in from kick offs as well) then they missed 31 open goals...are you sure they aren't spammers???

I remember reading about a team that were in some league cup. Both had already qualified, but whoever won would go on to play a really hard team and whoever lost would go on to play a minnow in the next round.

Basically both teams were trying to lose and it was a cricket score apparently.

Can't remember where it was but I think it was an African thing.

Seems to me it shouldn't be. Both teams would just swap ends and defend the goal they are supposed to attack! No offsides and the goal keeper can't handle the ball - OK that last one would make a big difference.

That would be a joy to watch.

That sounds like sprint drills :grin:

I'm actually impressed that they had the physical and mental stamina to get 149 goals

Surely after 30 goals you'd just say, "Fuck this I'm going home"

Imagine if the opposition team decided that they might as well not stay and lost the game by default. Maybe that should be our tactic to beat Man U in the League Cup quarters :think:

 

[Sputic]

Some of their players must have got almost as many own goals in that one game than Carragher has in his whole career .

 

[Houdini]

I recall a match where the winning team had to go and play in either N Korea or Vietnam or some country where they were hated because of some war.
The teams were trying to score OGs at every opportunity...i'm gonna google this shit.. i know i didn't imagine this...
