Anyone else remember this goal?

Not to mention the danger of the GK following through and just ko'ing his and the opposing teams players foot/leg/face etc.
 
I wasn't condoning it at all, I mearly couldn't remember if it happened last season or not and whether he'd got booked.

I do realise what he did was against the rules.

That said though, what Ole did was a great bit of skill and timing!
 
I remember Thierry Henry doing something like that a while back and he wasn't allowed to keep the goal...pity really as Henry didn't even touch the keeper I don't think.
 
I remember that Gary Crosby goal well. It was in March 1990, and was on the weekend before my father died. He was an ardent Forest fan, and it was his last football memory before dying. We recounted it at his funeral the following week.

Thanks for the reminder. :p
 
I dont remember that oli goal - its a classic

Of course it shouldnt be allowed, but its worth a good laugh, and the fact Oli didnt even touch the goalie just made it better

While it shouldnt be allowed, not sure why he got a yellow

yea but thats kind of stupid becausr then technicaly if the goalkeeper is ever near the ball, is he unchallengable?

say the keeper has the ball at his feet - he is "in control" of it, does it mean you cannot tackle him?

ludicrous.

imo, if the keeper has A hand on the ball, you should not be able to kick it/head it out of his grasp.

as soon as he lets go of the ball, play is open, whether that be because he has tossed it up in the air to kick it, or otherwise...

Of course not. Otherwise no-one would ever challenge them, which isn't the case.

I would have agreed with this before this thread, however it is true that players could conceivably put in rash/dangerous challenges if a keeper has thrown the ball in the air to kick it.
 
I don't see anything wrong with the first video. But imo the process of throwing the ball to kick it is part of the kick itself so players shouldn't be able to interfer.

If a keeper is stood there with the ball in one hand and a player can take it without fouling then fair play to them. That's why you see keepers now clutching the ball with both hands to their chest until all attackers have ran from the goal mouth.
