Pires v Villa was a lob not a chip

I do think that Theo's Swansea goal and RVP's Norwich goal are differnce types of chips. These are more one-on-one's and raising it over the floored/diving keeper. Still a chip but not in the terms a long range chip.

Bergkamp was the king of these.

A chip is where the ball is on the floor and you dig it out. Like a toe punt to lift the ball in the air. RVP tried one of these a couple of months ago but hit the post unfortunately.

A lob is where the ball is up in the air already and you just have to lift it over the keeper - i.e. Pires v Villa.

I would say a scoop is where you hold your foot under the ball, and literally scoop the ball up in a flicking motion to lift it over someone else.

He really should have chipped in by now.

I propose we add a fourth term

LOFT

a sort of lazy near effortless looking strike that send the ball very high and far but ends up in the goal.

Harry Ramsden was always good for chips

Always thought a Chip had to go over an upright keeper, a goal scored over a diving keeper, (Walcott at Swansea) is a clip...

Wrighty's chip against Lukic/Leeds around 95/96 was class. Proper dug it out at what seemed to be an impossible angle and John didn't move. The look on his face was priceless.
