In England, people have been crazy as the ball since the days of old times. Not wrong to call the UK as the inventor of football. In the year 1681 in the palace often organized football game. One of them is a match between the King against the Duke Maid Albermarle (one group of noblemen). The match that took place in the castle they take advantage of the wicket gate of the fort. Goals are created when the ball went into the gate.
Almost everyone who plays football has its own version in creating a goal. 1700s wicket began to get attention, they have started to use two poles are built without any of them. Then two poles connected by rope rose above it. Players are still allowed to enter by way of throwing the ball.
New year 1801, an amateur player named Joseph Strutt made a simple rule about the goal. The rule says that the wicket consists of two poles are stuck into the ground with each pole distance of 2-3 feet. Rules that survive long enough and not everyone use it.
New year 1832, Uppington School, a school club, make a rule that stated goal if the ball past the goalkeeper which consists of two pillars and under the rule. Cambridge stated that the goal was created when the ball went in between the two flag poles and under the rope. Both are not specifically mention the size.
Rope or a slide rule?
The debate about the wicket was making progress. Eton issued more specific rules.According to the rules of Eton, the goal has a 7 foot tall and distance is 11 feet antartiangnya and goals are created when the ball was kicked into it. The ball is bouncing on it as invalid. Cambridge did not want to lose. They issued revised rules on the wicket in the year 1863 with a mention that the wicket had a width of 15 feet.
But this rule does not mention the existence of Cambridge that restrict high-goal rule.So according to the rules regardless of the high sphere of Cambridge, provided entering through the two poles, it is considered as a goal.
1863 Football Association (FA) was formed. They instantly create a definition of the goal. According to the FA wicket consists of two pillars that stood and is eight yards with no strings in between. But three years later, in February 1866 even this rule was revised. The FA said that the goal is the second pillar that stood by 8 yards wide and at the end given the rope that connects the two by eight feet high from the ground.These sizes are still in use.
However, these rules have not proved to be the only standard for the goal. Sheffield makes the goal by adding a slide that connects the two poles with a height of 9 feet from the ground. Rules bar the use of rose was later adopted by the FA. Sheffield finally, Äúberdamai, AU with the FA with bringing forth the rules with that goal should be to use a ruler or a string with the size of the FA, which is eight feet eight yards.
Only after the FA's fourth conference in the mainland United Kingdom in December 1882, the rules became mandatory use of slide rules and the rope is removed altogether. Since then, soccer goal really has been the standard, which is two columns wide eight yards and connected with an upper section with a height of 8 feet sliding off the ground.
And in the year 1891 on the advice of the population of Birmingham is used nets / netting the goal. Goal nets were eventually made and patented by the Liverpool man named Brodie. Goalpost nets first used on the official party of the North vs. South in January 1891. FA cup final and the first party who used nets to reconcile the goal with West Bromwich Albion vs Aston Villa in 1892. Until now the existence of nets in the official FIFA rules are not as, Äúkewajiban, AU, but is mentioned as a requirement that must exist at every tournament.
