I don't care, i'm now forever associating you with this shitty rule.gordondaviesmoustache said:I fear I have less influence over FIFA rule making than you seem to believe.pee dubya said:And in theory if the ball went forward slightly off the keeper, but then backspin caused it bounce back over the line, technically that shouldn't count either?gordondaviesmoustache said:In theory, I guess it wouldn't count. However, whether the ref had the presence of mind or mental dexterity to disallow it is another matter!
Your rule's crap.
And no that wouldn't count either.

I remember this happening in a World Cup game once, and the goal going to Rooney (?) despite actually going in off the back of the goalkeeper.
The classic case was in the penalty shoot out between France and Brazil in the Mexico world cup of 1986. A French penalty taker, Bellone, did almost the same thing: his penalty hit the post (the 'keeper was nowhere near it) but the ball rebounded on to the 'keeper's head and into the net. The referee awarded the score and France won the shoot out. But FIFA ruled that in future the ball had to go into the net without contact with any other player after hitting the wood work to cont as a penalty score. So poor old Tim scored an o.g.
