so dawgfan,
are you saying that the ball would not have gone in had the whistle not been blown? Could your keeper have gotten back up to stop it?



Yes, that is what I'm saying. It was a slow roller that was right next to the keeper. He had a very good chance to stop it but he stopped when the whistle blew. He should have grabbed it anyway but kids are taught to play to the whistle. He did just that.
