The second one is even funnier! I can only imagine the look of horror on the `keepers`s face when he realised what was going to happen and started haring back towards the goal.
Believe it or not, something almost identical happened in a junior game many years ago now that one of my lads was playing in. However, on the basis that he`d started walking back to the centre-circle and had turned his back on the goal so "didn`t see what happened" , the referee wouldn`t allow the goal to stand. The fact that both linesmen (I was one of them) explained it all to him, he still wouldn`t have it.
