Good post. I still think it's daft but I get what you and TOBW are saying. Bluebirdman had a good idea in the thread I linked to, that play should continue but the taker shouldn't be allowed to play the rebound, whether it comes off the post or the keeper. As he's basically six yards offside when he takes it then that seems right, the keeper and defenders would have a fairer chance to capitalise on the save then.

Not that I'm bothered when it goes for us, by the way, as it did for Turnbull against Blackburn earlier in the season. Me and my (hockey playing) sons were out of our seats celebrating and going 'good rule that' to each other. Shameless.
