Replying To Rosineri1:  "I headed a point once in a nothing challenge game, ref said its against the rules and disallowed it!"
Colm O'Rourke scored a headed goal against Dublin in the GOAL challenge game in 1995. I think it put the Rest of Ireland team 8-08 to 4-10 up. Devastated that it was allowed to stand. I was confident of a Dublin comeback but then a pitch invasion put paid to that.

Say a defender, under pressure from an opponent, tries to hand-pass back to his advancing goalkeeper. The ball eludes the keeper and goes directly into his own not. Would the goal stand?

Replying To perfect10:  "looks about as skilful and elegant as the handpassed goal in hurling did back in the day.
i would ban handpassed scores full stop"
You're still allowed palm the ball first time into the net in hurling, same as football, but it's hardly ever done, if ever. The handpassed goals were abolished alright, they were ridiculous.

Replying To Douglas_44:  "No problem with hand pass goal but it's not implemented correctly, like was Armagh goal last night palmed to the net or thrown in?"
Armagh's goal looked like a square ball, he had a foot in the square before the ball entered the square

I thought it was a square ball too. Still have to see it back.
As long he was outside when the ball was played, he can be in there before the ball.

Yes, goal stands.
