NO SUCH RULE (2 Pipes) in Any rule book. -

The whole ball has to cross the whole plane of the 2 inch goal line or 2 inch goal pipe – in my mind no goal - because the poorly strung net prevents the ball from going in

Well of course its a goal because thats what the refs called so it matters not what we think really. BUT since you asked……given the angle that the ball dropped it would have had to hit the crossbar below center which to me would mean its a goal. Even though not all of the ball crossed the plain the ball did hit the net inside the plain just below center on the crossbar…IMHO

No goal. The ball has to completely break the plane. That means COMPLETELY past the pipe- it seems to have been wedged in the upper 90, so it’s impossible that the ball could have completely broken the plain. no goal

As a ref Nick, that comment is false. It needs to cross the line.

To me looks like it sticks the net inside the upper 90. I’d go with a goal.

So is the test whether any part of the ball breaks the plane defined by the front edge of the pipe? If so, I say goal since the ball coming from the ground up and seems to almost wedge into the corner of the pipe. As already mentioned, the refs called it a goal, so it is a goal. Now if the camera was running at 60 p we would have a better look.

On something that close, it is a goal if the official calls it a goal. It’s just that simple.
