Escape from the SS

[Oldsparkey]

Just to get away from the SS (Slade Slagging ) for a while, have a think about this.

I put this question up a couple of years back and some of you may remember it. If you know the answer from back then, please hold your horses for a while and let others have a shot at it.

During a game, a goalkeeper takes a dead ball goal kick out from his 6 yard box. He gives it an almighty swipe into the teeth of a gale, but such is the force of the wind, the ball rises up in the air and goes over his head and back into his own goal.

What decision should the referee give?

 

[Stevoldinho]

Goal kick retaken imo.

 

[Oldsparkey]

Thank you for that Stevo - not saying that's right nor wrong at the mo.

 

[isawronnymoorescore]

retake of the goal kick.

 

[Barry Tiger]

If the ball did not leave the penalty area it should be retaken.
If the ball left the penalty area its a corner

 

[Oldsparkey]

The ball did leave the penalty area and no other player touched it before it went over the goal line.

 

[Barry Tiger]

It's a corner kick

 

[hampshire Blue]

This is one of those strange ones. If it left the penalty area and was not touched by another player then I think it's a corner.

Anyway Sparks, what's wrong with a bit of Slade bashing?

What Barry Tiger and Hampshire said!!!!

Nothing at all - you might have noticed I'm not averse to indulge in it on other threads.

Not just for the sake of it though, I actually believe it and won't be happy until he's gone.

Mind you, who the hell is Tan going to pick next time?

 

[ninian opinion]

Why isn't it an own goal?

 

[Oldsparkey]

Who said it wasn't.......

 

[Barry Tiger]

A goal can only be scored from a goal kick against the opponents (not for the opponents)

 

[Oldsparkey]

Shut your face Barry!

 

[Barry Tiger]

Sorry.......... I forgot its your quiz

 

[Oldsparkey]

That's OK Barry - just remember if you're a friend of Bluey, you're an enemy of mine......

Only joking pal - just no one likes a smart arse.

Don't put yourself down Sparks.

I wouldn't dream of it Bluey - enough people do that without doing it to myself.

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Just sympathising mate.

Thought you could do with a boost!!!!

Go to the funeral today?
