Didn't see it but did he pick up a backless? Free-kick can only be given as close as the six-yard lineQuote:

Though I don't think it was going in but it was close.
It was the only time in the 2nd half where we didn't have any control of the game.
Yes, but it was on one of the side lines of the six-yard box. In those instances, where is the wall supposed to stand? Do they not still have to stand 10 yards back, if the parameters of the pitch allow it (which they did in this instance, except making them stand that far back wuld have given the kicker a completely clear shot at goal).Quote:

The free kick execution was cleverQuote:

some defenders formed a 'wall' next to Cech (sort of at 90 degrees to the post).Quote:

So, ref got it wrong by letting the Arsenal defenders not be on the line imo

They were lined up adjacent to the near post, perpendicular to the goal line.Quote:
