Does anybody agree that if the Goalie leaves the crease,he should be fair game?

I agree entirely. Goalies are safe within the crease and if they go out to meet the puck, they are fair game. The only time I think that the same rules apply concerning goalies out of the crease is when they are being pulled.

thank God A.J has not answered this one.the last man during normal play in my opinion is the goal keeper and his 'work' definitely is to stop the ball from strolling into the net or even crossing the line.\n\nan 18yr old is considered to be of age and can sign a contract which will be binding if he chooses.however this is not advisable since a contract signing is a very serious business and requires people with the proper know-how to handle. an agent may do just fine here.

Yeah I felt kinda bad for the goalie. It sucks to get played like that. But, such are the ways of soccer.... Milevskiy went out there and got the job done... But I still feel sorry for the goalie.

I would consider them leading. The game is not over yet, so I would not say they are "winning" the game. In football/soccer, anything could happen at the last minutes. :-)

If a goalie gets sent off (which is actually common) then the team who have lost their goalie will sacrifice one of their oother players and sub him off in replce of their back-up goalie they will therefore play the game with 10 men just as if any other player had got sent off.

When an player passes the ball to another player of the same team, the receiving player is offside when at the moment the ball leaves the foot of the sending player who is trying to complete the pass, the receiver is BEHIND, i.e. closer to the opposite teams goal, than the last opposite team defending player.\nException to this is when the receiving player is in his own half of the field, or if he doesn't in any way affect the game, i.e. he is injured on the ground or returning to his team's goalposts using the sidelines.\n\nIt's easier to understand if you know why it's there, rather than what it is:\n\nImagine what would happen if a team was allowed to line up loads of its players right in front of the opposition goal mouth - it would be really easy for one of them to knock the ball into the net if it was passed to them.\n\nSo to prevent players from 'loitering' near the goalmouth like this there's a rule which says that a player from team A is offside if (and only if) he receives the ball while the only team B player standing between him and the goal is the goalkeeper himself.

Rule 79. Puck Must Be Kept in Motion\n\n(a) The puck must be kept in motion at all times.\n(b) A minor penalty shall be imposed on any player, including the goalkeeper, who holds, freezes or plays the puck with his stick, skates or body in such a manner as to\ndeliberately cause a stoppage of play. \n\n(NOTE 1) With regard to a goalkeeper, this Rule applies outside of his goal crease area.\n\n(NOTE 2) If a goalkeeper comes out of his crease to “cut down the angle” on a shot and after making the save covers the puck, this shall be legal. If the goalkeeper races out of his crease in an attempt to beat the attacking player to the puck and instead of playing the puck jumps on the puck\ncausing a stoppage of play, this shall be a minor penalty for Delay of Game.\n\n(NOTE 3) The overall intent of this rule is to keep the play going.

This has been proposed many times before, always by people who would like to see more goals scored. \n\nIt's a phallacy -- one of the great beauties of real football is that it is a LOW scoring game, which makes it unpredictable because a goal really counts, it's of capital importance -- whereas in high-scoring games a point or two are usually irrelevant.\n\nChanging or eliminating the offside rule would bring the sport closer to those stupefyingly predictable games so loved in the U.S. Thank you, but no, thanks.

The goalie must leave the field\n\nIf the team has a substitution left, it can pull a player from the field and send in their backup goalie.\n\nIf they don't have any substitutions left, one of the players from the field will put on the goalie's jersey and play goalkeeper (very rare, but I've seen it happen)

I didn't used to agree with it because footabll is much quicker flowing game tahn American football or rugby so to stop it to view video footage could break it up too much.\n\nThe goal line chip is good idea, but they could play on until the ball goes out of play next and in the meantime a 4th official could view the footage and rule on it. The same could be said with offsides, let the play continue unless it's blatent and review it when the balls out of play. There are so many examples of mistakes nowadays it needs some kind of review

So they can know he is the goalie and don't pass to him and expect him to come out and help them. So the referee can know he is a goalie when he is far away.

Ive been a referee before and generally will will tell players to keep sticks down, or just general reminders of what the officiating crew is observing of what may be getting out of hand. Sometimes its telling players to back off of then face-off circle to create a more "even" or "fair" faceoff.

not to my knowledge but a ref was on a scottish football programme and said that if the ball was deflected of the ref and into the net the goal would be allowed. i guess thats why you dont see refs going into the box for corners.lol

Maybe!But i would rather look back at the end of a game and reflect that we either lost or drew cos of a blinding goal,rather than threw points away to a scrappy goal or stupid defensive error!!\n\nDawson,King,Assou-Ekkoto and Robbo are doing a great job at the back,so more players are going for long range cos they can't break us down other ways!

i don think he was out of line.. those cards were well deserved.. the players brought that upon themselves.. i think he was fair/unfair to both sides equally !!

There's always one whining player on a team (the goalie) who's like "waaaah!!! I wanna use my hands!!! waaaaaa!!!!! I can't kick the ball without picking it up!!" \n\nSo the refs just give in and let the babies do what they want.

I agree with you. It's fine to take play back the the first foul(the offside play) but something should definitely be available as a guide for the referee to have some discretion in a situation like that. It was uncalled for and very unsportsman like. You will see this happen frequently though such is the heat of the moment and the passion of the World Cup.
