[[IS IT EVER TOO EARLY TO SCORE A GOAL IN FOOTBALL?]]

Whether it is too early to score a goal in Association Football matches is a topic of some discussion amongst fans and supporters of the round ball game. Whilst to the normal fan, coach and experienced footballer the notion of scoring too early being a bad thing seems ridiculous supported only by the lunatic fringe football commentators and the odd 3rd division failed football manager, the argument persists with some among the football community hedging their credibilities as knowledgable fans on their support of the mute.

THE ARGUMENT FOR

The argument is rumoured to have started in the early part of the 21st Century by a young eccentric bad at bbq'ing football philosopher on the bleachers of a game where his team where the proponents of a goal scored at a particularly early period.

The famous exchange of opinion went as follows where the young eccentric bad at bbq'ing football philosopher (YEBABFP) expressed his opinion to his much more learned and cultured and better at bbq'ing than him companions (MLACABABAHC) as follows:

(As the thousands of other fans stood cheating and singing at the goal scored:)

(YEBABFP) "Great"

(MLACABABAHC) "Whats wrong mate?"

(YEBABFP) "they shouldn't have scored that early"

(MLACABABAHC) "Why not?"

(YEBABFP) "Now the others will be angry and (hence) play better"

At which point the YEBABFP's best man and good bbq'er himself yet in so many other ways painfully obtuse (BMAGBHYISMOWPO) piped up with: (BMAGBHYISMOWPO) "you have a point there"

What has followed has been years of unsubstantiated debate only to be complimented by the support of a second rate French commentator and a losing manager from a championship team.

THE ARGUMENT AGAINST (OR AS IT IS ALSO KNOWN: "THE CORRECT POINT OF VIEW")

Logic demands that a game played for 90 minutes values scoring events equally. Anecdotal and emotional responses will of course be skewed when goals are scored with little time left in a match, however a rational review of the scoring capacities of any team will lead any normal football pundit to agree that there is no wrong time to score.

Further, a recent survey of leading Football Managers from around the world delivered the following emphatic conclusion to the question, "is it ever too early to score in a game of football":

Manchester United's Jose Mourninho: "No. Do not waste the Special One's time with such inane questions!"

Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane: "No. The European champions strive to score whenever they can"

Liverpool FC's Jurgen Klopp "Nein... we would love to score at anytime... we would also love a defence that keep the other team from scoring at anytime"

Melbourne Victory's Kevin Muscat "What are you talking about (steely stare)!"

Arsenal's Arsene Wenger: "Will it help me win a title?"

Al Hilal's Najaf Al Abed (fastest goal scored in the world - 2010 @ 2sec): "لا" (translation from Arabic - "No")

GSP Polet's Vuk Bakic (second fastest goal scored in the world - 2012 @ 2.2sec): "Neh" (translation from Serbian - "No")

Some guy called Sir Alex Ferguson: "What a ridiculous question? Who let you in here?!"
