Pascal had a go at that up at Everton. Was fairly close from memory, too.

Just a shame that was the highlight of our day.

Interesting that the goalkeeper couldn't sniff out that it was coming when the kickoff comes with one player standing over the ball.

Since when does height have anything to do with a player's quality? Ask Maty Ryan.

Such poor goalkeeping. There's no need for a keeper to be that far off his line from an opposition kick-off

Splendid to see the Scots maintaining their goalkeeping traditions at such a young age.

Thought the ko was indirect and another player had to move the ball forward first...or am I thinking of the '60's?

No you can shoot straight from kick off now. It can go backwards or forwards. I coached under 10s last season with another guy who read the rulebook obsessively and we scored a goal straight from kick off in our second game :banana:

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Joe Hart England's recent No 1 is making mistakes at a rate of at least one ''howler'' every 2 games played this season

Yeah, but it takes a lot to beat Scots keepers for those of us around in 70s !

Could be the way to go for us,we never keep the ball for more than about 10 seconds from kick off normally.
