ErsatzThistle Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just out of interest, can you name some great examples of Scotland goals scored from direct free kicks doon the years ? Asides from Maloney vs. the Faroes in 2007 and vs. Macedonia in 2013 and Griffiths double vs. England in 2017 in recent years, we don't seem to score many of them sadly. Any great examples you can remember from the 70's, 80's & 90's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it was laid off to him as a dummy, he then turned and shot himself. Good goal. Auld Broon had a few of them they obviously worked on 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Hang on did Faddy not score a free kick in a friendly vs. Estonia in 2004 or was that just a shot during play from outside the box ?

He had a couple of great shots in that game as did Davie Hay but no goals, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
