Was it indirect? If so, it should be an own goal by the keeper.

    Was it given for obstruction then?

    Thought so. Ref had his hand in the air as well.

    Didn't even think obstruction existed as an offence anymore. Who cares though!

    Did the keeper touch it, if it was indirect he should have just left it! Stephens looked very embarrassed when it went in!

    I thought direct and indirect free kicks were a thing of the past.

    every good free kick should be finding the back of the net if no-one touches it. stephen's delivery was superb all night and he got his just reward

    Did you really need an interview to confirm

    I did not, but a radio journalist did it seems!

    Good job, their keeper doesn't pass the CL height test. :-0)

    If Hamer had let that free kick in, he would've been crucified. But it was a fantastic cross by Stephens. Lots of pace right into the danger area

    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.

    Decent delivery into the right area, as others have said, about time we had some luck this season. Well done Dale

    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...

    Powell said in his interview that it was direct.
