anyone watching/watched it.
blue player kicks ahead and chases, in fop just short of red goal line he tries to gather ball whilst diving for the line under contact/pressure from following red defender. it was a tough call but it was judged that he didn't touch the ball with his hands or knock it on (ref clearly repeated what the tmo said to him). he overshoots the ball which hits his knees and rolls into in goal ricochets off blue foot and cannons on its way to touch-in-goal.
Before it gets to the plane of touch it hits the red player's leg (no part of red is in touch/ touch in goal) and remains in goal. Blue player is on his back with his feet in touch in goal, red player is beyond him nearer the dead ball line, the ball is grounded by blue player's right hand / arm between his body and the goal line.
22 drop out. Why? I guess it turns on whether or not blue had possession 22.3 (b)
Baffled. Please unpack it for me.
