    Technically it must have hit the target because the target is the goal ... if not, and confining your answer to two words, what is 'the target' ?

    A shot that hits the post and doesn’t go in goes down as off target. This isn’t a matter of opinion.

    The target is the area where a goal can be scored..hitting the post/bar and it not going in therefore is not the target, it isn't hard to grasp. <laugh>

    ... and if you read back you originally said it had 'missed' the target ... I merely pointed out it had, in fact, hit it ... I never mentioned the word 'on' either ... please concentrate more ... and would you like your candy back? <whistle>

    So if it hits the post and goes in is it classed as a deflected off target shot?

    No. Partly because that isn’t a statistic anyone collates and partly because it is then a shot on target.

    Off target and game stopped until the dog is off the pitch.

    This is another that I’m sure will be brilliant once I’ve read it again later.
