This I would agree with for sure. The goalie gets finger tips to it but the kicker still kicked it from outside the arc and scored. Now if one of his own players gets a hand to it then the score belongs to him not the kicker.

The over carrying has gone from one extreme to the other. Several times players called having taken no steps but can't play it being challenged by two players. Just getting held up. The hurlers milk this. Especially this year. Receive the ball. No challenge. With the ball in hand run 5 or 6 steps. Hop it off the ground. Run another 5 or 6 steps ball in hand and then pop it over the bar. Looks ugly.

4 steps or the length of time it takes to take 4 steps.
