So what’s the problem? The definition of a goal has been clear ever since football codified its rules in the mid-19th century: for a goal to be scored, all of the ball must cross all of the line. Most disputed goals result from defenders illegally returning the ball into play after it has crossed the line, [...]]]> http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/media_room/2012/06/29/when-is-a-goal-not-a-goal/feed/ 0 http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/media_room/2012/06/19/when-is-a-goal-not-a-goal-mathcad-measures-up/ http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/media_room/2012/06/19/when-is-a-goal-not-a-goal-mathcad-measures-up/#comments Tue, 19 Jun 2012 10:32:28 +0000 admin http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/media_room/?p=4783
