5-and-a-bit years after the blunder, and it seems that karma has finally caught up with Enckelman. Does this deserve its own thread? Probably not, but his conduct in the face of a complete $$$$ was exemplary, so I, for one, am pleased he'll finally get his day in the spotlight.

Did he touch the ball or did it go straight in?

Like the saying goes every dog has it's day and he sure as Hell made a Dog's Dinner of that pass back/throw in.

It touched his foot on the way in otherwise they would have had to re-take the Throw In.

TY! After watching football for 45 years I didn't like to admit on here to not knowing if you could score direct from a throw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would have been a corner if it hadnt touched him.

To this day i believe this goal should never of stood. The ref said he awarded the goal due to Encklemans reaction by trying to stop the ball going into the goal ment he must have touched it.

But at the time hardly anyone knew this rule so i doubt that Enckleman would have known it would not have been a goal if he had not touched it.

Ive watched that clip loads of times and i cant tell if it touched him or not so how could the ref be 100% sure it did?

Exactly. Giving the goal because of his reaction was stupid.

I spoke with him about six months after that. He swears that he never touched it but also he himself ddin't know about the rule. If I'm harsh, I don't think he's quite top drawer as a player, certainly behind Jaaskelainen and Niemi in the pecking order, but he's a really nice, gentle and courteous bloke who's really worked hard at his game in order to succeed. I really wish him well in the final.

So you were ashamed of not knowing, but now that you do know, you can´t help blurting out that you didn´t know before?

I have to say I am confused by this.

Wrong.

If it had gone straight into the goal from a throw-in without touching Enckelman then the referee would have given a corner.

You cannot score an own goal from any form of restart.
