Square/rectangular Goalposts

Are Wooden Square/rectangular Goalposts allowed to be used in our league.

Our holes have been put in but these are for wooden square posts?

They can but only in certain circumstances

I quote

Law 17.6 - Square posts are allowed to be used but where upon the home team are blatant pothunters they shall be forbidden to use square posts and crossbar.

Hope this helps

it was a serious question Kev, do you have any idea?

I have replied to your email.

Square or rectangular posts may be used provided they are no more than 5" in any direction (not upwards!!) and technically the same dimension as the goal line.

Yeah Just saw that Thanks Dennis

i think i am correct in saying they cannot be wooden either. I know this is true at junior level. Health and safety

most hinckley team's have square goal posts any way.

The Laws do not specify the material.

Really? a guy i know who helps run a youth league and is a ref said they cannot be wooden and that there are grants available to replace wooden ones. but i bow to the owls knowledge!

ive never come across anything in the laws that says you can't use wooden ones. and for years we had a wooden set

extract from laws of the game

Goals

A goal must be placed on the centre of each goal line.

A goal consists of two upright posts equidistant from the corner flagposts and joined at the top by a horizontal crossbar. The goalposts and crossbar must be made of wood, metal or other approved material. They must be square, rectangular, round or elliptical in shape and must not be dangerous to players.

I didn't know the answer, but I was expecting more of a bite!!

You knew I was only messing anyway, just thought I'd add some light humour
