I fail to see how goals from direct free kicks get included in best goals lists.
You might as well include penalties too.

Just welly the ball and hope for the best. Sheer virtuosity!!

This is probably due to the poor TV coverage by ITV. If they had captured the goal from a sideways viewpoint, as a camera in the Mill House stand would have, they would have got a much better view of the distance the ball travelled and dipped.
Unfortunately, as with cricket, when viewed directly from behind or head on, you lose the sense of distance.

Therefore, it was ITV's fault.

But isn't that how most of the cracking goals are scored

Only if you consider a football pitch a shooting range.
A well worked goal doesn't always need to finish with a hoofit.

Cf Boyd Hat-trick vs Sheffield Friday

Totally agree. From my view in the town end, you could tell it was going in from the moment he hit the ball. The ITV coverage made the goal look average and yet watching it on poolsworld from a camera angle on the other side of the pitch shows the goal for the cracker it was. clappp
