Unless I am much mistaken we have already hit the woodwork 7 times in just 6 league games- Jones v Wolves, Whelan v Chelsea,
Huth, Jones and Fuller v Wet Sham and then Jones twice against Newcastle. I cant ever remember us having a run like that! When you take into account this misfortune, and also the ball over the line v Spurs it makes you think where we would have been if these had all counted.

I blame Kitson.
He would have put the balls wide or over which as a result would have meant that we'd not been as unlucky as we have been recently, thus making this update irrelevant just like Dave Kitson's Stoke career.

You say this, but say Jones goal went in against Wolves, do you not think everything might have been different, cause and effect. He probably wouldn't have got injured as things would have been different. No point thinking of what could have happened when if any of them went in it would have effected the others  |

Danny Collins header hit the bar just before Walters "goal" against Spurs too.

Goping back to the original post, it is quite alarming just how many times we've hit the woodwork to date.
everytime i see the ball crossed in the box and Jones is within distance of the ball, you're half way up of your seat waiting for the net to bulge. One of these days against a smaller defence who can't head a ball, he's going to score 3 or 4 a game. I really believe that.
I Love it!

True mate, he could have easily had 8 in 5 and a bit games already, he is top drawer! |

Top drawer indeed fella.
One thing I didn't expect when we signed him ws for him to be prolific. But as one Sunderland fan said on thier messageboards when he signed for us.
Sticking him on the end of Rory throws and Etherington/Pennant crosses is like handing Stoke 20 goals a season. Or something along those lines.
Long may it continue.

It's rubbish when hitting the woodwork is considered to be on target. How can it be on target when it isn't on target?

Well there have deffo been the shots counted before and hitting the woodwork was called on target. It might be open to interpretation for the indioviodual. But those who interpret woodwork as on target are being childish.

So if a shot hits the inside of the post, or underside of the bar, and goes in then it was a goal scored from an off-target attempt?
I'm nailing my colours squarely to the 'hitting the woodwork is on-target' side of the debate.

Agreed.
It's a bit like getting shot through the clothes. You aren't dead but you wouldn't half shit yourself.

How about if it: hits the cross bar and comes down it was on target hits the cross bar and goes up it was off target hits the post and comes back across the goal it was on target hits the post and goes away from goal it was off target Just a compromise |

It's a bit like a snooker shot that rattles about in the jaws of the pocket before going in.
I suppose it's all about the end result.
If it goes in, it's job done and it counts.
If not, it doesn't.

If a shot hits the woodwork and goes in – on target
If a shot hits the woodwork and does not go in – off target

Amazing - and that doesn't even count another one he had against WHU (looping header over Green which came off the bar) because he was offside... |

Amazing stuff really Unless I've missed it on this thread, Huth hit the post against West Ham didn't he. We hit the woodwork four times in that game, a Jones offside header being the 4th. |

If a shot hits the woodwork and goes in – on target If a shot hits the woodwork and does not go in – off target This explains the logic behind Lampards disallowed goal against ze jarmans. It all makes sense now |
