You do not recall correctly because although it was a highly unusual, even bizarre chain of events, there was nothing "bogus" about the call. The Cardinal Newman keeper clearly picked up a ball that had been kicked to him by a teammate. In my view, the critical error was by the defender who should have cleared the ball rather than put his keeper in that position. But, then again, CN only needed to "stay cool under pressure," focus on defending the indirect kick, and walk out with a championship.



Were you even at the game oldskool? You got one fact correct, it was a passback and the correct call was made. That has never been the issue. The issue was the Pinewood graduate that was the center ref walked up to the line of Cardinal Newman defenders and said and I quote "look at me and listen, do not move until the ball is struck". During this speech is when the kick was taken. Then when the CN players righfully asked for it be retaken his comment was and again I quote "the players did not have to stop nor listen to me because I had not blown my whistle".
