Nobody loves a long-range effort more than us at #ICYMI, and this from Dundee United’s Lawrence Shankland in their game against St Johnstone is an absolute cracker, and perfectly judged. Not bad for an equaliser in a 2-2 draw.
It might’ve been in front of a virtually empty stadium, but somehow those present make up for the noise, so you might want to turn down the volume before pressing play.
The game also brought us this lovely piece of skill from St Johnstone’s Chris Kane, which is worth 15 seconds of anyone’s time.

Basford United’s Slef Galinski scored an astonishing goal against FC United this week and the first of its kind that we can remember – a headed goal from inside his own half, albeit helped by some comically bad goalkeeping. Basford went on to win 3-1.
Ashley Fletcher is the poor soul who christens #ICYMI – the first of our new weekly featurettes on the FSA’s website.
This week’s #ICYMI is an incredible series of misses from the Qatari league that end up with a glorious sliced effort into the barren athletic track surrounding the pitch. Least no-one was there to see it though, eh?
Usually, a kick up the backside is administered at half-time to an underperforming team. Yaya Touré, however, took the phrase a bit too literally this week, getting sent off for dishing out that particular punishment to an opponent just 10 seconds into his final game for Qingdao Huanghai in China.
