The thing is that the Coleman goal falls outside even the frustrating variability of these calls. I don’t think one can find a single other example where that goal wasn’t considered good
There’s the confusion between what should count and not but that call remains a baffling outlier even outside that
Just a brutal series impacting call

Yeah I was thinking about that. I actually thought Coleman’s goal was kicked in. Just seemed to me there was intent and motion. My opinion.
Mangiapane’s was WAY more of a kick and it counts though.
That entire rule needs some serious clarity and overhaul in how it’s officiated. There’s just way too much grey area and I don’t think ANYONE (including Toronto) knows how to call it.
