Tomlin's goal

[the other bob wilson]

Come on Bob - you of all aficionados of our beloved sport should appreciate this particular rule of the game.

I am really surprised by the amount of posters who claim that no rule has been broken.

The Millwall keeper intended to kick the ball, regardless of any any exaggerated distance he threw it forward.

He certainly did not release the ball forward in order for it to bounce.

If this was the case then the ball would have been in play and a challenge could have been made.

The ball was released with the sole intention to lump it forward.

Apart from Tomlin, how come that Warnock or any of the players did not complain about the decision?

I'm not saying that the goal should have been allowed - that was never going to happen because of the problems it would create as a precedent, but the reasons given for why it was disallowed are ludicrous, no free kick would have been given if the same challenge had taken place between two outfield players.
