Huh? A group of lobbed goals by Charlton players and the most sublime, magnificent piece of skill imaginable is left off the list?
It's like a list of England's best ever World Cup results, without including the 66 WC Final.
How can they have a list of lobs without Claus Jensen's beautiful piece of poetry at Highbury?
Always thought a lob was when it bounced and you lifted it over the keeper whereas if it's on the floor like jensen (or Suker v Schmeical in Euro 96) it's a chip.

I have never heard of that distinction. But it seems a good enough one to excuse the omission.
lob and chip two entirely different things (as is a dink, which is a variation on a chip based on the relative height of the ball). Don't get me started on the difference between a ping and a strike...
Not sure that differentiation is strictly correct. Beckhams goal against Wimbledon was undoubtedly a lob and I’ve never heard anyone refer to that as a chip.

@guinnessaddick you’re better at remembering things than me. How’d it go??
