very interesting topic I d like to simply add a few things :
"The real probleme of shuffle->wheel-> goal, is more like whe you go behind the goalkeaper and shuffle on his rear wheel to try to have a reflexion on goal..."
I d like to point this example precisely because I often shoot into the goalie's wheels from the back of the goal with the intention of scoring, but I dont shuffle the ball into his wheels - I shoot it; and for me it makes a big difference, because I ve seen some people shuffling it and goal beeing counted because the rebound on the goalie's wheel counts it.
I m saying this because in this case, Marc apparently shuffled the ball into his own wheel before he took the shot, but he didnt shuffle the ball with the direction of the goal; it s not that piece of movement that made the ball pass the line. He made an additional technical move that allowed the ball to cross the line, and if we simplified the situation, we would see that he didnt shuffle the ball in direction of the goal. It s tricky to explain but easy to see. There was something else between Marc so called shuffle (or pass to his wheel) and the wheel shot
so for me it goes down to what Kev said :
**a goal is a goal if the ball passes the line, unless it was a shuffle from an attacking player. **
good night
