Thought todays might have done it.

But no. Can we get somebody who can at least kick a ball.

    More fool the individual who had a go at it. You can at least pick someone else to do it your behalf.

    It’s entertaining at least. When someone does hit the bar ….it does bring a smile

    It’s a bit laughable when they can barely kick the ball. Seems to be more often than not which is a bit sad.

    Do you have to be in Valley goal to do the crossbar challenge as I’d love to have a go?

    Entrants will alternate between a Valley Gold member selected at random by the Valley Gold administrator in the week prior to the fixture, and a Jackpot ticket purchaser from the previous fixture.

    It's a bit of a laugh after all, mind you if you are seriously trying to achieve anything, at least wear a pair of boots ffs, yesterdays guy was always gonna get nowhere wearing trainers...😂

    What has happened to the crossbeer challenge that TS introduced? Seemed to have died a death, bit like his tenure.

    My mum got the email last week for the crossbar challenge tomorrow, she's not doing it so I guess her kid is going to have to step up for her!

    practice is pointless.

    Yeah the ball they use is a liberty, like one of the ones you used to get for quid out of Woolworths

    I did it a couple of years ago and I couldn’t believe how light the ball was . So much so I over compensated and didn’t hit the ball hard enough. I hit the back of the net but I wasn’t really close to the bar .

    What ?
    are you telling me it’s not a proper standard football ?
    fuck that, if I get picked I’m bringing my own proper ball before I gently clip it on to the bar

    Wear some studs so you don't end up on your arse.

    I can only think it’s so the old boys can get a bit more float on it.
