Controversial flicked free-kick
This is a brilliant and really sneaky free-kick from the Ukrainian football league. But should the referee have disallowed the goal?
It’s an indirect free-kick, so the player who touches the ball first is only allowed to make contact with it once. I think that the scoop ought to count as more than one touch and that the ref got it wrong. Sorry to be such a killjoy.
Google won’t reveal the name of the scorer or the clubs involved. Does anyone know?

There’s no way he didn’t touch that ball more than once. It’s a shame cos that’s bloody hard to do - flicking the ball over the top of your head to a team-mate. But if it’s against the rules, it’s against the rules…

Do you remember Match of the Seventies? I’m sure they showed a free-kick a bit like this. I want to say that Leeds Utd scored the goal but I can’t remember properly. Does anyone know what the hell I’m wittering on about?
