Scoring direct from a free kick 14:56 - Nov 25 with 2877 viewsdingdangblue

Can't remember the last time this happened in a league game? Callum Camps? Michael Rose? I know Camps scored one in the cup at Maidstone but I don't remember many occasions where I've been confident of us getting many goals this way. The best we've had for me was Rickie Lambert - there was a time where you got a free kick around the edge of the box and it was like getting a penalty! Anyway it was great to see Humphrys belting it in the top corner last night - hopefully its a regular occurance.

One benefit of playing Kwadwo "crazylegs" Baah more, would be him cutting in/out and bamboozling defenders, drawing more such dead balls in danger areas around the box.

How many fouls did McLaughlin 'win' also! He was giving Jack Grealish a run for his money.

Camps scored one at Gigg which seemed to take about three deflections on it's way through but may have just moved dramatically with the way he hit them. It also should've been saved.

Think he scored another one in the FA Cup at Slough too.

Tangled up in blue.

Like the OP, I don't remember being confident of scoring direct from a free kick since the days of Rickie Lambert and, before him, Lee Todd.

Lambert definitely for me as well. Although I remember Simpson being pretty good but he gets forgotten about after his managerial spell.

Not forgetting Steve O'Shaughnessy - and the free kick didn't need to be around the box!

Mark Stuart’s free kicks were excellent too. Preston at home was the best as their keeper set up the wall.

I remember Tom Kennedy putting one into the top corner in the last minute against Chesterfield in front of the Sandy. Brilliant freekick.
That would be around 2009.
And who could forget Evil's screamer at Preston but that's going back nearly 18 years.

Love Mark Stuart’s efforts. Scored some crackers.

I seem to recall Leo Bertos could place the odd one past the keeper too.

Alex Russell scored a few the season he got 9 goals for us - think I remember 1 against Wigan that was Beckhamesque.

I always thought TK was a great free kick taker but should have scored more.

Older fans will remember Paul Comstive's howitzer against Blackpool in 1982 ( only my third game I think).
Didn't Malcolm Brow score one against Maidstone ? - about his only useful contribution in a Dale shirt.

He did, when they were playing at dartford I think, we drew 1 1 after coming from behind.

I remember that game well as was in the home end with a Maidstone supporting mate and went down from Maidstone on their supporters bus. Decent guys tbh.

Think that would have been about 1992 and they had an awful side tbh. John Ryan was injured that day but Steve Doyle played 😂

One of many by the big fella, but probably the most memorable. 1969.

Last league goal from a free-kick before Tuesday was Callum Camps v Peterborough, 25/11/17, so one day short of three years ago.

Stan Horne scored from a his own half in a 3-1 win over Barnsley earlyin 74-5 season. I have a vague recollection it was a free kick, not a howitzer, but i think it was poor conditions wind got hold of it and the defence made aright pigs ear of it. I think it was a free kick but my memory is increasinglyplaying tricks. Ill try and find the match report.
