Garletts second shot was overturned on video review after the PA player smashed into the post trying to touch it. The post was wobbling like crazy before the ball went through. I thought that negated the hit-the-post rule?
Hit the back of the post too. Dodgy call I reckon.
Commentators clarified at the time.
If it is a deliberate push of the post then it won't be tolerated. I think you can even get suspended for it. Not sure about a goal, but probably a free kick in front.
If its not deliberate, as in a player is trying to touch the ball, then its a non-issue.
So assuming the commentators were correct, the umps got it right,
