Goal wasn't given rofl

lol, took me a while to work out what was going on because of the indirect fk that followed the play and then I watched it again and realised that was a sub. Goal wasn't given, what a joke. rofl

Indirect free kick rofl

Referee needs to be flogged. Should have, at the very least, been a penalty

What do the official rules say should happen in a situation like that?

LMFAO

Indirect free kick is the correct call. I also suspect a ban should be applied to the player for more than a red card's worth.

It is not a penalty because the offending party was not a "player" in the field despite being one of the bench. Also, since the ball did not go in, you can't simply decide to let a goal stand because "it was going to go in". You also cannot give a penalty because it was not a foul.

Let us say a fan invaded the pitch and saved the goal. It would be an indirect free kick as well.

I remember a very similar scene where a physio or so of one team ran onto the pitch to save a goal. Gotta check if I can find that...
