Frankies6 101 Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 I dont remember in my time as a latics fan a free kick struck as sweetly as that which found the back of the net. Im just gutted we wasn't there to witness it as the scenes in the away end would have been something else.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobledgersheart 576 Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 Agreed obstruction is NEVER given nowadays. It's laughable when defenders push the man away from the ball instead of playing it to win a goal kick or throw in and the "short corner routine" to waste time. Just penalise the perpetrators every time and it'd disappear within a few weeks. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They never seem to give foul throws either. Stray an eyelash offside however and VAR is on it like Barry on a free buffet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

astottie 491 Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 Mark Ward could take a free kick and I have a memory of him scoring from a distance out to the right. I'll try to check it. Marshall also hit one or two 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frankly Mr Shankly 1,176 Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 David Eyres rifled in a beauty at home to league leaders Brighton around the 2001-02 season at the Chaddy end. Same game Bobby Zamora for sent off for a petulant kick. I loved Shez's. They were always artfully despatched, never pinged. Knew exactly where the postage stamp was. One of my favourites was at home to Bristol Rovers, possibly that season where we stayed up on the final day at home to Reading. So important as it turned out to be decisive when we were getting desperate. Around March I'd virtually given up despite that win at Citeh in the middle of a wretched run of two months without a win. We turned it around against Bristol Rovers and won away at Wrexham (Mark Innes wondershow!) to arrest the slide. York must have been pig sick that season when we sent them down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it was during the season when we beat Reading on the final day. Bristol Rovers had a strong side, which made the win even better. IIRC Shez, rather wisely, took the free kick quickly before Bristol Rovers had lined up a proper wall as their players were still arguing with the ref about the free kick.
