There was the one on telly at Reading. The ref adjudged the keeper to have picked up a backpass. Zamora grabbed the ball, and quickly passed to Brooker, who scored - before Reading were ready.

Great memory. A goal almost as satisfying as the one at Chesterfield in league one where Zamora cheated by kicking it out of the keepers hand and tapping it in. Shouldn't have stood, but a marvellous piece of injustice at the expense of the brown envelope cheating inbreds.
No.Remember that free kick routine - it was brilliant!
Can't remember the offence that lead to the free kick, but wouldn't the GK picking up a back pass be handball, and therefore a penalty?
There are four offences for which an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following offences:
• takes more than six seconds while controlling the ball with his hands before releasing it from his possession
• touches the ball again with his hands after it has been released from his possession and has not touched any other player
• touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate
• touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate
There four offences for which an indirect free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player, in the opinion of the referee:
• plays in a dangerous manner
• impedes the progress of an opponent
• prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands
• commits any other offence, not previously mentioned in Law 12, for which play is stopped to caution or dismiss a player
... according to that paragon of virtue, FIFA.
So obstruction is still to be penalised, and another one, the six second rule, is also ignored by refs now.

Its a greater shame that we don't see shooting from free kick positions.Shame we don't see quick free kicks taken anymore from shooting positions.

Richard Carpenter buried one from about six yards out at Colchester, hoping it hit a CU player on the way in. The ref said it did. "4-1 to the one-man team" we sang to a Zamora-less Albion that day.

The first action of note had arrived with eight minutes on the clock as goalkeeper Luke Steele and Richard Duffy created a crisis in the Sky Blues penalty box before referee Mark Cowburn eventually stepped in to award Brighton an indirect free-kick following the defender's backpass being picked up. But from eight yards Virgo could only find the side-netting after being teed up by Leon Knight.
