You are the ref.

I think that was an away game when Bobby did that. He also scored a special long range lob in the same game?

Surprised nobody has mentioned 'Sneaky' George Parris's goal from the '90s.

So, having watched that video again, can we stop the "and he didn't even take penalties!" line. There are a lot of penalties in that video. Paul Watson was primary taker, granted, but Bobby took A LOT. It's amazing that he's a completely different player now. Whoever told him to become a big strong targetman ruined his career.

So pacey back then, but I think everyone naturally loses their pace with age (Owen, Torres). Maybe turning into a big target man was the only thing that saved his career

I dont think you could call being a consistant Premier League starter and getting England call ups and a European final a 'ruined' carrer.

When I saw that Agger 'goal' last night it reminded me of one on match of the day about 30 years ago when Gary Crosby - a nippy little winger who played for Forest at the time - headed it off of a keepers hand and tapped it in. That goal was given and during the debate at the time there was talk of making the laws clearer.

 

[Brovion]

B Without a shadow of doubtb although the has the ball in one hand he still has control of it.

Spot on. I don't even know why the question was deemed to be worth asking, unless it was a test to see how many football fans don't actually know the Laws of the Game? (In which case it seems to have worked!)

 

[withdeanwombat]

The old law inevitably led to a great deal of contention about whether the keeper was in control of the ball or not. The current rule brooks no doubt - the keeper is always deemed to be in control of the ball once he has taken possession of it and until he releases it. The absolute clarity has to be a good thing although the original rules (pre-1960's) when a keeper was fair game to be knocked into the net ball and all and no question it was a perfectly decent goal were much more fun

And the reason Alex Dawson was such a prolific scorer.

 

[Everest]

That's because the keeper wasn't holding the ball, it was on the ground.

I can remember one of our keepers pushed over the line at Grimsby in the mud, which resulted in the goal being allowed. It was the day of the Prescott Valentines card (2004?).

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Law states that the keeper MUST have two hands to deem it his possession of the ball. Goal.

Tom did you just say that!!?!??!?!?!?



The answer is B. 100000000%

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

So another scenario that we cannot score a goal from

 

[Phat Baz 68]

A its been done before

 

[Acker79]

A its been done before

By that reasoning, Keepers should be allowed to pick the ball up when kicked back to them by a team mate, because that was done before.

Possibly that, but he could have been so much more. With his millions in the bank, I'm sure he's not too concerned about it.

 

[wunt be druv]

Either or neither of the above or possibly both.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

If its been done before and recently too and goals have been allowed then it has to be answer A doesnt it !!
THINK ABOUT IT !!!

The answer is, it depends on the referee, who does whatever he wants to.
