Scott Crabbe's first goal for Utd against Aberdeen which sparked us from 2-0 down to get a 2-2 draw. Cracking up and down free-kick from just outside the box almost dead centre. Badger scored the equaliser in the last minute to cue absolute bedlam in the Shed. Happy days. If memory serves it was Mark Perry's debut for us as well.

I don't know if there's footage in existence but remember Paul Dixon's beauty at Parkhead about 7 years ago?

We were 2 nil doon and came back to draw 2-2.

I'm struggling to remember more than have already been posted.

We really don't score many goals from set pieces, do we?

RogerTheAlien · 13/10/2014 11:53 pm

Excellent link and day, Tek!

Re Billy haineys, I was walking past the wee primary school next to the buildings that were demolished when he scored that, left at 4-2.

Barry Robson scored a belter of a free kick vs Falkirk in the 2007/08 season against Tim Krul no less. Sure the Mad Monk was in goal for us and was utterly immense.

stobievulture · 14/10/2014 9:25 am

mind bannon scoring another cracker at tannadice v hearts when he ran up to take it, stopped and pointed at the wall breaking up, turned as if to retake it but turned back quickly and curled it in the bottom corner.. sure it was a midweek cup quarter final

I was there as well that day, when Ray had the third free kick you just had a feeling he was going to score. Felt more like a penalty than a free kick, he was in the zone.

Amazing and unlikely to be witnessed again.

Cherished in the baldy's memory bank forever!

Thanks for putting up the clip there TEK. Would never have thought of looking it up in youtub.

You'll notice Roger that there wasnae the expected amount of celebration from neither the supporters nor the players. That was because it was on the 90th minute and we lost 4-3.

Probably this for me, it was a one off. Burnt myself for the last one, had just bought a hot drink, most of it ended on my hand.
