How stupendously ridiculous was Ben Hamer's attempted overhead kick.

  • To be fair, he wasn't exactly going to bring it down, go round 3 and 4 players and score, rather he gave it away there than any further up field. Still ridiculous though
  • But if he'd scored that header, I'd have been starting a campaign today for his statue alongside Sams at the main enterance...........................
  • That was a great header!
  • I know I'd had a few beers but I genuinely didn't see him come up for that, that white kit is a bit hard to see under lights
  • thought he caught it half head half shoulder think a clean header and he might have done it you no!

    I'm sat in the north-upper, and I was looking at the corner taker and followed the ball into the box. Had a "WTF..........YES...........NOOOO" moment all in 1 second.
  • If he had scored that header I think the ground may have erupted. The overhead kick was more him keeping the ball away from the palace players than trying to shoot

    Lloyd Sams?
  • I would have done anything for Hamer's header/overhead to have gone in. Not because it would haved saved the point, but just because it was hilarious. Hamer is a drama queen - he shouts at his players, mucks about on the ball, gets in tiffs with defenders, moans at the linesman, hugs every player individually before the game and strolls round every stand when we win. He's even got a daft haircut now. I can't think of a better player in that team to have scored a last minute equaliser against the Palace. In fact I'm shocked it didn't go in just because it seemed all the stars had aligned for that one. At least it was amusing at the time
  • Nevermind that! Bloody Wilson with his stupendously moronic lashing over the bar in the dying seconds. I wanted to tear my head off and throw it at him

  • That would have been amazing if it have gone in.
  • We didn't deserve it anyway, maybe best we learn from that loss
  • I bloody love hamer. His such a character. Last off the pitch last night clapping the fans. If that header had gone in. The whole place would have erupted and hamer would have been jumping in the crowd.

    His reaction after his head was brilliant. He sort of done a little jump to celebrate then the ball came back to him
  • That would have been one of the all time greatest Charlton goals if that had gone in. The sort of goal that makes an instant legend out of a player.

    Love the guy.

    Disagree. The players weren't in top form, no disputing that. But they earnt a draw at least. The ball was in the net, legitimately, and wrongly disallowed. That's not an excuse, but a fact. I do agree, though, the only thing left is to learn and move forward.

    Agree with your disagreement!
    Not at our best, but the Wiggins injury was a major bollock ache formation wise, yet they did more than enough to merit a point.
    Hamer is a great character and would have gone straight to Charlton immortality status if that header had gone in.


  • I'm not saying there wasn't spirit but this was a fecking great super dooper whopping big mega important for the supporters local derby. They were more spirited than we were and with a few exceptions I think they let us down. Play like that at the New shithole and Millwall will smell blood. I hope SCP let's the team know in no uncertain terms that if that's their best then it isn't good enough.
  • He was in a sitting position as he made contact with it! If that header went in, oh my!
  • It wasn't great to be fair.
  • How stupendously ridiculous was Ben Hamer's attempted overhead kick.

    You're serious ? Criticising our goalie, trying desperately to save the game, for not being an expert overhead kick specialist ?

    Totally agree with this. At least he showed some bollocks and hunger going up for it and it nearly come off.....twice...
  • It was so great that when he jogged backed most of the East stand near his goal gave him a standing ovation. I do love Hamer.
  • Aside from his Roy of the Rovers-like last minute header, Hamer looked very accomplished in just about everything he did - great positioning and safe cross taking. And when he needed to punch, he did.

    And all that is as a result of laser eye surgery?


    Wow - now we just need Chris Powell to get his own eyes done, so he can see that the midfield needs complete rebuilding (only kidding).

    or If he is unhappy with the strength in his midfield maybe play 5 in there so there not overrun and outclassed every game,that would do me.

  • Hamer is as mad as a bag of frogs - like all good goalkeepers. Big jolly character and it would have been a legendary moment that would have lived long in our history if he had put it a few inches to the right or left of the man on the post. Was a top header

    I have had more stick today from my Millwall mates than my Palace mates Shooters, believe me blood is already being sniffed.
  • a good old fashioned relegation dog fight is always better than a boring mid table finish. only problem is we always lose basement battles.
  • Even though garvan headed hamer's effort off the line I will still remember it for a long long time! Hamer for england ;)

    That's a neat trick if you can do it!
