Has anyone ever seen someone score with a diving header - where they've dived away from goal?

As in, the cross/delivery has fallen short, so they've had to dive away from goal, swivel in mid-air so their stomachs are facing the sky - and then head the ball on using the momentum of the cross?

I know people have used the back/side of their head to dive and glance on, but I mean using their forehead.

Is the 15mins allocated for half time timed from the whistle ending the first half or does the referee start the time once everyone is back in the dressing rooms? Just wondering if grounds like Old Trafford and Craven Cottage effectively get less time because everyone including the managers have to trudge down half the pitch first. I assume this doesn't apply to matches on TV btw as they will dictate the timings based on adverts.

I think the issue is it's rarely exactly 15 minutes. Often a couple of minutes longer. I imagine it'll start from the time of the half time whistle, an alarm will ring a minute before the 15 minute mark to alert everyone to get back on the pitch.

Can ref's give a penalty for a foul in the box, and at the same time book the player who was fouled for simulation (i.e. dramatising the foul).

See the issue in the Man City game just now for an example.

Don't think the player can be booked if the ref has deemed it a foul.

Theoretically yes, difficult decision to 'sell' though.

Is the reason why the mackems are so intent on getting to Wembley really because it is the stadium with the most toilets in the world?

Does anyone else think of Sir Alex Ferguson as a sort of Ric Flair-esque figure?



He never gets old enough to stop.

Well, that's actually all I've got for now.

Might be wrong but Im kinda sure Jared Borghetti scored a similar type of goal in world cup 2002.
