Bearman 4,093 Report post Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Having watched the highlights its clear that the ball hits the upright, bounces into the field of play and then bounces back and goes over the crossbar before Wellsby catches it. Should the drop goal should have been allowed? Edited November 28, 2020 by Bearman 1 Quote Ron Banks Bears and Barrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunbar 9,368 Report post Posted November 28, 2020 As posted on the match threads, here is the wording for a 'goal' in the laws of the game A goal is scored if the whole of the ball at any time how scored during its flight passes on the full over the opponents’ cross bar towards the dead ball line after being kicked by a player So, as the ball has finished its flight when it hits the ground it is no goal if it bounces over the bar after. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't not read the match thread, I am honestly quite shocked to see this thread too with anyone querying it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATLANTISMAN 913 Report post Posted November 28, 2020 I was really hoping that Saints took the 2 at the end with James Graham kicking would have been a brilliant end to his career:) Paul 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
