If you dont put the ball "between" the posts, you dont score. Simple as. You may as well hit the corner flag.
nah, all im saying really is . . . . it always bugs me when commentaters say "denied by the post" i just always think "no, he wasnt denied by the post, it hit the post cos it wasnt going in and never was, you cant be denied by a post!"
Sometimes if happens and it hard to bear. Like when you score a goal and you need it. Then next u see the flag raised for offside.
