it not a fgantastic cross any keeper worth there salt would catch that major stroke of luck for dale boy i think he would have got an earful as he jogged past the dugout had it not gone in
He does sometimes have a habit of over-hitting some corners and free kicks.
No way is that a terrible cross though. Although you want to have something like that go on someone's head, the aim is to put it in a danger area. He did that, it caused them danger - simple.
Watch the goal again - yes the keeper was slightly off his line, however even if he had been correctly positioned I still think he would have had to tip it over the bar at best. By no means an easy ball to deal with.
Would have been a comfy tip over - I said under my breath - too close to the keeeeeep....oh er. Stephens delivery is very good though - put a good free kick in first half. He deserved a goal but keeper should have stayed on his line.

At least you kept it under your breath. I was half way to my feet shouting "that's too lon......g...oal"
I didn't think it was a good cross - sailed way over the heads of the forwards, none of whom made any sort of challenge for it. I thought it was going out of play, keeper must have thought so too because he made a right hash of it.

I made the same 'mistake'. I let out an anguished 'No!' when I saw it sailing towards the goalie.
Presumably, the BBC commentary said something like, 'Dale Stephens scores direct from 40 yard free kick'. People following that must have thought it was a wonder goal.

Except they probably would've credited it to Scott Wagstaff...
