Administrators Lucas Posted April 24, 2009 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2009 It's rare that I ever really post a topic, but what happened just now was so good and rare I thought I'd share. In my 4th Season with San Marino - second season now in Serie B. After two successive promotions I'm now struggling to establish myself in the division. On Deadline Day in 2012 (January window) I received an offer for my 33 year old goalkeeper who was due to expire the following season who I'd only signed in the summer - I couldn't really refuse, twice his value and I immediately accepted. Luckily my scouts had picked out a good young San Marinese GK regen and an ageing former Italian international at 40 years of age. Snapped them both up, and promoted my reserve GK who was my first choice the first season into the first team squad to give me a bit of a selection dilemma ahead of the first game. I decided, despite my assistant's advice, to pick the 40 year old over my reserve GK (who was deemed better and deserves games because I may need him next season now and he needs a new contract) for the first game. Fighting for a win to keep pace against the drop, I'm 2-0 up against Frosinone, when I have a Goal Kick, and the old legend smacks it and it bounces over his opposite number and he scores on his debut. A proud moment. I have saved a series of screenshots if you don't believe - but I have cut out any mention of player names. Shall save the .pkm though, a proud goal and one to treasure. Think he may cement his place in the XI with that one! ----- Has anyone had anything similar happen to them with a goalie - total flukes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-dizzle Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Haha nice.. thats one way to make a name for yourself. Bet he'l be a fans favourite with that. Not had my keeper score yet for me, by LB dribbled through my half, he went to pass the ball but it hit a midfielder and bounced away, he chased it as it passed 4/5 players into the box where he belted it only for it to hit the crossbar... luckily my striker was there to pounce on the rebound and put it away. Thats probably the weirdest thing i've seen so far lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoep Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i think that IRL goal kicks are indirect.. and therefore you cant score from them :S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docklanders Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Ben Amos on his debut for me, strange that! Pat Jennings anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruyff14 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i think that IRL goal kicks are indirect.. and therefore you cant score from them :S PAT jennings scored from a goal kick irl ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoep Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 PAT jennings scored from a goal kick irl ! in 1967... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoep Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 hmm trying to read up on it its a funny one, because its technically not direct, so you cant score an own goal, it would be a corner.. but yet if it goes in the other end it is a goal.. weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Major Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Noone in this forum could begrudge the keeper a place on the legends list. Even if they have won 182 back to back league title, and they have had no recognition yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B_Rfc Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 haha impressive. never had a keeper score from open play, although akinfeev scored 8 pens in one season on my pompey save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik_Dut Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Should be disallowed. It's 2009 already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docklanders Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Should be disallowed.It's 2009 already. I'm not having a go but explain why? You can score from free kicks anywhere on the field, directly from corners, and just from inside your own half, im pretty sure that goal kicks are not indirect.

ArneH Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's not disallowed. In Belgium few years ago a GK from Charleroi scored from a goal kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuelburrowsuk Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 A goal kick is not indirect for the intent of a goal for - should the keeper manage this impressive feat the goal will stand. For the purposes of an own goal, a goal will not be conceded if the goalkeeper (or another player taking the kick for that matter) directly plays the ball from the goal kick into their own goal. As someone else pointed out, a corner will be awarded if this was to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Rudd Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's almost impossible to do for any sane method of taking a goal-kick. Nevertheless, the eventuality is there, and so the rule covers it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarties have the answer Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Jan Budtz did exactly the same for me! Cue everyone buying keepers every week now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donGIORGIO Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 i think that IRL goal kicks are indirect.. and therefore you cant score from them :S Read the post carefuly. He said that the ball had a contact with Goalkeeper, that means that goal is clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Perfect Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I believe Jennings kicked the ball from his hands, and Joejoep is correct, if the ball goals directly in from a goal kick, it's a goal kick at the other end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
donGIORGIO Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 and Joejoep is correct, if the ball goals directly in from a goal kick, it's a goal kick at the other end. Yes, if there were not other contacts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docklanders Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 well you could say the same about scoring from a throw in, olof mellberg and peter enckleman anyone, the ball had no contact if you watch carefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurz123 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I think Jennings was a free kick, ala robinson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afcbournemouth Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 You can score directly from a goal kick just like you can from any restart except throw ins and indirect free kicks. You cannot score an own goal from any free kick direct or indirect the correct decision would be a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
