I fully agree with Cashman. The keeper caught the ball and held it tightly to his chest as he stepped back over the line and then, realising that he was over the line, he thrust his arms forward so that the ball was 'back in the field of play'.....Clearly the ball was over the line and it should have been given as a goal! The assistant referee was several yards up the touchline while this was going on!
ps Chewbacca.....I must be a "new fan" like Cashman as I have only been watching Stanley since the mid 1950's so you probably think that I am unfamiliar with the rules of the game too!
