When Bahrain was awarded a freekick and then everything happened quickly and the ball was in the net, my heart sank, but then the commentator said " I was a bit worried there for a minute" and the goal had been disallowed. There was no further discussion, nor any news report of the disallowed goal. The Bahrainian guy who put the ball in the back of the net was obviously astounded. Can someone please explain the rules that resolved that situation?

It was quite clearly a foul on Paston, IIRC the referee had blown the whistle then the guy put the ball in the net. If that was a "disallowed goal" then Wood's one in Bahrain was one then aswell.

Yeah keepers are quite protected in this game, so I guess they awarded obstruction against paston. The whistle blew well before the shot happened so Paston didnt really go for the ball and our players didnt attempt to get to the ball. Was a tough call, but who's to say that wouldn't have stopped it if the play had continued.
The players who did obstruct Paston didn't really complain too much either and we didn't have the whole Bahrainy team rushing around the ref so I assume that the call was fair

They like pushed him over the goal line, I would hardly call it harsh.

hahaha I didn't say it was harsh. I was said it was a tough call. Meaning the ref had to make the call and he got it right!

Thanks guys, after looking at the video again I can see a Bahrain player standing in front of Paston, clearly obstruction. ( of Course I can't hear the whistle on the tape as everyone was making a lot of noise!)

Umm, standing in front of Paston doesn't necessarily cause a foul for obstruction.
I personally thought that we were a little fortunate for a foul to be blown - thank god keepers are ridiculously over-protected these days. Heck, I wish I had that kind of protection when I was keeping a few years ago!!!

That was a close call. Keepers are far too over protected. I would be very angry about that if I was them. Nobody pushed Paston or 'fouled' him at all. Two of their guys were standing around / going for the ball, Paston wasn't at all well positioned for it (it was extremely high and probably did blow in the wind to be fair to him) - then one of their guys was in the way as Paston tried to get it. You could call it obstruction, but to be honest I don't think it was a free kick. Watched the replay a fair few times now. I suppose it's one of those ones the ref will often give out of a silly situation like that - ball popping way in the air and then a bunch of people competing for the ball with the keeper. We were lucky in a way, but then, they would have been lucky to get a 'winner' out of something stupid like that.

actually a similar thing happened to greece in the euro08 vs sweeden and the goal stood...

I've only seen it live at the game, and one replay on tv, but I thought one of the Bahraini players went underneath Paston.

Later I'll take a look at the sideline "referee's assistant" view video I took of what I thought was a goal to break our hearts.

to be honest if that had been allowed i think the stadium would have been destroyed.
the bahraini team did not deserve to win.

I somehow feel that the ref had a change of heart as the game progressed - starting out with the yellow card against Sigmund to show the New Zealand 'bruisers' that their physical game would not be tolerated .... but by the end of the game, what with the crowd barracking the Bahrainis' antics and the Bahraini play acting, he was quite happy to whistle against the Bahrainis.

I agree with that PR, once we started hitting the deck at bit as well we got a lot more calls
On the foul while it may be that keepers do get a fair run it is in the explanatory sections in the ruls that the keeper has priority in the 6 yard box so attackers have to be very careful to not foul. That's the way the game is refereed everywhere so it wasn't inconsistent

I was worried about that ref beforehand (not the suitcase-full-of-money-quietly-exchanged-in-a-hotel-room kind of worry) but he was pretty unpredictable at WC 2006 and unpredictable refs give me the willys. Overall though he had a decent game. In my completely cool and objective opinion the foul on Paston was the most obvious foul in the entire history of the game.

Where did you get that from, JD?
In the copy of the Laws of the Game that I use, FIFA LOTG 2009/10, there's nothing about goalkeeper's having priority anywhere.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Talking about the poor standard of refereeing in the A-League...
Velaphi got a decent shove into goal in the NQF game in Perth, and the goal was allowed to stand, called with Velaphi carrying the ball backward into the goal.
Goal wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been charged in the air by NQF player, who was never looking at the ball, and never would have made contact with it.
So A-League perhaps not the best terms of reference for good refereeing
