Free kicks around the box

It's our set piece takers that I don't understand. Diouf is capable, although hasn't had the opportunity to show that. As is Weiss, same as Diouf however. We had a free kick today, just outside the box, and had Davis and Bougherra standing over it...

Whittaker and Lafferty have taken over from the Boyd Blast into the wall, while Davis just hits it over every time.

i must say free kicks are stinking just now. davis can hit them from 25 yards centrally we need an alberts or van bronkhorst who can hammer it home or a dead ball specialist i personallyt hink we should try sign eremenko if we get the chance i think hes a player myself dunno bout my fellow bears. talk of goodwillie and conway comin into the ranks, conway is a dead ball specialist as we all know.

Clearly not worked on or practised at Murray Park.

Give the ball to Whittaker, Davis or Papac and watch them smack it off the wall... amateurish!

As do i, it wouldnt be hard. I actually offered to go to Auchenhowie and show them how its done, still awaiting a reply.

In all seriousness though it's baffling and worrying how not one person in our entire squad can take a decent set piece.

I said to my brother at that freekick, "Davis will hit this high and wide." Cue the obvious. It's depressing, can anyone remember the last direct freekick we scored?

I am being serious, i wrote a letter asking if i could go up and show them. I was ignored.

Its quite simply embarrassing, League 1 and 2 clubs, smaller clubs than us all have dead ball specialists, clubs in the SPL have them too, yet we for years now have not had any, Adam apart, but despite having a magical left peg, he was hounded out. Its criminal that we have neglected such an important part of the game. 1 swing of a boot can win matches, score goals and make millions.

Its criminal mate.

Its not just the freekicks but the throw ins also are quite poor.Now I know throw ins are not a huge part of the game(unless you are stoke and Rory Delap)but i feel we loss the ball cheaply from these way too often.
