Is it just me or do a lot of goals seem a lot less powerful

    When there's no fans to react?

    Obviously there's the occasional thunderbolt but since games have been played behind closed doors there seems to have been a lot of shots that just seem to trickle into the net without any real power. I wonder if they actually are weaker, I'm just imagining it, or there's some science behind why they appear that way without the fans

    I wonder if part of it is that when there's a goal the camera usually shakes as the fans celebrate? No idea, but that could make sense to me?

    I always feel like they are when in the ground. Not sure why but I’ve always felt that time slows down during a goal. It’s really surreal.

    That goal that Browny scored at Fulham last season was a great example of that. I swear the slow motion replay of it was faster than watching the goal live at the match.
