In reply to: Kris 's message, "Re: ball out of play- it's in the rules" on 17:31:12 08/21/02 Wed

To answer your question: Play continues.

For further clarification, you could read Aarons posting to this thread, which contains
"In answer to your question of what happens if part of the ball crosses the 'wall' but within the goal frame the answer is simply that the ball is not out.

The inside of the goal frame is not considered part of the goal line therefore the ball has not crossed it at any stage."

As a referee, you could utilise the following logic statments to assist in making a desision
*FIRST DRAFT ONLY, REVIEW NEEDED

A = ball touches vertical plane of goal line or sideline
B = Ball passes through front plane of goal
C = whole ball passes through front plane of goal
D = Ball passes through front plane of goal but prevented from travelling wholly through goal by obstruction from behind

So from the NZ rule book, we know:
i.IF A = True: Ball is out of play

ii.IF B = True AND C = true: goal is awarded
iii.IF B = True AND C = false AND D = false: play on
iv.IF C = true: goal is awarded

v.IF D = True: goal is awarded

Relating back to your most recent question, it could be described as being illustrated by:
C = False AND A = False AND B = True

So, the resulting desision should be to play on.

However, you may wish to review the situation to be sure D = False (the scenario you described does not rule out the possibility of this)

This list of statements could do with some revision, In fact it would be much more clearly illustrated with a flow diagram.

I simply can not stress how important it is to read the rules and consider their implications, rather than trying to imagine every convieable variance of play that they could be applied to.
