I don’t think there is any way to definitively tell if the kick was good. People saying otherwise are being dishonest.

Went over goal post not outside it. Was good but refs didn't consider that.

Think about it - if it goes inside the posts it’s good. I don’t know why this is so difficult to understand
Plus I didn’t create the rules - so get off my arse.

Has there been a rule change on this? When NLU/ULM won the 1/AA playoff in '87 they had a kicker named Teddy Garcia who kicked every kick high. During the season the coach, Pat Collins, asked for a clarification and the response was that the goalposts do extend up into the sky. But again, that was 1987 and I very well could have missed a rule change.

Yes if they do extend all the way up inthe heavens the ball still has to go between the uprights

Having read all of this, it still looked to me like it was inside the goal posts.

Can they not implement technology in the goal posts to determine good or no good?
Tennis has technology to determine in or out or on the line

I know what the rule states, I'm saying the rule is bullshite. It's not consistent with other scoring rules


so you think if it just touches the upright but doesn't go in, it should be good?
because that's how the goal line is treated.

I mean if we're being consistent with other scoring, that's how you'd have to rule it.

If the posts stretched to infinity it would be a doink!

They showed a replay and it missed. I thought it was good as I was watching but when I saw the replay, I could see it was a miss.

I have not seen the replay you looked at.
The one I saw looked good.
It would help considerably if those who try to explain all this made the distinction between uprights and “goal post”.
“Cross bar” is a helpful term, imo.

The most precise thing would be to say that if a high kick is mostly outside the upright it’s a miss, mostly inside a make. Since the former would doink out and the latter in.

But I can understand how difficult that would be to judge without some kind of laser/optical technology.

It may have been a chip shot to some, but it was a difficult angle. Compare it to a 3 foot breaking putt.

They have every camera angle possible but they can't spend a few hundred dollars and rig a camera facing straight upwards on the goal post for these situations?

can’t review a kick that goes over the top of the goalposts.


This has always annoyed me. We can take 10 fricking minutes to over analyze every catch...count the blades of green between cleats, check for bobble, how much bobble...analyze how much bobble is acceptable relative to the suspected time a pre-approved body part touched it's first blade of grass.... but we can have a camera look at a ball going over a goal post???
