user2110: So the problem is simple, I'd like a video camera to just leave on record and i can just leave it in the goal mouth, or more preferably at the top of the goal.
I record all my games and then edit them, but having this angle would give a brilliantly close insight into things which we just don't get to see normally. 
So any ideas?

user674: There are many variables here, depending on cost, what type of shot you want etc., but I would suggest you look at something like the GoPro HD Hero 2 because it is:

relatively cheap
takes HD video
has a range of wide to standard angle FOV
is waterproof
has useful mounting brackets
and is incredibly robust
