Goal off the ref ?

ratinakeg

If the ball hits the ref and goes in off a throw in is it a goal ?

Or

If the ball goes in off the ref from an indirect free kick is that a goal ?

You cant score direct from a throw in unless it hits another player but what about the ref ?

no - while the ref is considered to be part of the pitch or environment - it would be like the ball hitting the post.

if it deflects off the ref and goes into the goal ...its a goal.

if its indirect/throw in and hits the ref only - its retaken again (its only a goal if it hits a player not the ref !!)

If a goal goes in off a ref, yes, its still counted,

Not sure about a throw, But i remember reading that the ref is a part of the pitch, just like the goal post. so it still counts if it goes in off them

luckiest goal ever scored, the defender even kicked the ball off him. Something you'd see at Old Trafford in the 98th minute of a match :pac:

98th minute .... is that part of the customary Alex-5.

*I'm a slightly peeved L'Pool fan (especially as Spurs decided to crumble in the second half - no thanks to the ref)

Helix is correct - the goal can only be awarded if it hits another player from a throw or indirect free kick before entering the goal
