almost no uncov ered part of the target to shoot at so the rules were revised to keep the custodian on the goal line at the same time allowing him to move sideways at will Later to further persuade half backs and fullbacks to lead a life of purity another revision forced the goalkeeper to stand perfectly motionless until the kick had been taken It is under this the current rule that old timer
