It had to happen one day.
Clitheroe 2-0 down at Rammy get a free-kick on the half way line towards the left hand touchline. The big lads lumber up into the Rammy box and our international keeper Lee Camp trots up to take it. It floats into the box, a Rammy defender heads it out to their left wing and their number 10, who is quite rapid, is onto it and over the halfway line in a flash, with our centre-half trailing vainly in his wake. Lee, who has been ambling back, suddenly senses the danger and scrambles across his box as fast as he can, but the Rammy lad has seen Lee is struggling to get back in time and curls it beautifully round him and into the rapidly diminishing gap from fully 30 yards out.
I've always thought this was likely to happen one day, but I don't recall ever seeing it before, although it must have happened somewhere before. Why take the risk, any player can dump a free kick from the half way line into the penalty area, why does a keeper have to do it, and leave himself exposed ? In the end it made no difference, we were well beaten at the time and unlikely to get back into it.
