But we lot are disagreeing. In particular, it seems that the US official position differs from the English official position - and there may be differences of opinion within each geography.
David J - for what it is worth, I think the English position is predicated on the fact that the post, an implement that is expressly given neutral properties, prevented the ball crossing the TIG line. After it was prevented from doing so, the ball then crossed the touchline - so 5m lineout.
The goal posts 'redirects' the ball quite frequently, that has neutral properties aswell. No probs there?
