When was the last time we scored direct from a free kick having a think it may have been Nisbet.Generally we are very poor at them and most end up in someone's bovril or pizza.

Can't imagine we're better or worse than anyone else. Obviously guys like Ward Prowse or Messi score regularly but even then it's maybe 3 or 4 a season.

Think was Nisbet last season but I'm sure he scored two but could be wrong.

In fairness it’s a very very difficult skill.
If you were to score 2 a season you’re doing well.
Im not sure who should be taking for us. Magennis, Allan, Boyle, Newell or Nisbet? You imagine they all have the technique and confidence to try.
Porteous even had a go the other week.

Whoever takes them all I know is it shouldn't be Nisbet, he seems to be the default guy but he's actually pretty poor at them.
For what it's worth, Hearts have that Kingsley guy who seems to have scored a few already this season, both old firm teams and the odd team outside of old firm are also dangerous from them.
In summary, I think we could do better from the opportunities we get, especially with Boyle constantly fouled outside the box.

It's not something you can really coach to be honest, you can either hit a great dead ball or you can't. Beckham used to spend 3 or 4 hours after training hitting free kick after free kick but he did say he was always pretty good at dead balls anyway.
If you're lucky enough to have a naturally gifted dead ball striker in your squad then great, if not, you do your best with what you've got. We've got a couple of players who can hit a decent enough dead ball but don't seem to have a natural.

This is one of my constant frustrations! When we get a free outside the box there's always a buzz of anticipation.
What happens? The ball sails over the bar and we shrug our shoulders and trudge away yet again. To be fair it's the same all over the country. Even Ronaldo has hardly been prolific of late, as stated above.
Try something different! Get in behind the defence somehow. Tricky through balls, wall passes etc. What do they do in training for heavens sake? Same old, same old it seems to me.

Take a leaf out Ceni’s book… despite being a “bambi” incredible record.

The opposition put half of their team in one specific area nowhere near either the ball or the goal - play around it and surely we'd carve out an opportunity that's more likely to lead to a goal than trying to hit the ball over a wall and back down, which is what the keeper is expecting.Mon the Hibs.
