If a player had a shot and a fan ran on the pitch and it hit the fan and deflected in, would it count?

Nope, imagine if a fan stops the opposition from scoring a crucial goal

If a shot is goal bound and a fan runs onto the pitch and saves it before it crosses the line, what happens?
EDIT: Damn it, Kuled just asked the same question.

No, because they're not an active player on the park. Only the ref/linesman is. If it hit the linesman and went in (pretty impossible) then yes, it would be a goal.

If it hit the linesman it would be out of play, surely?

Drop ball, I think we had this discussion a few months ago.

Not necessarily, the linesman stands on the line. Therefore the ball would still be in play.
Happened to Rangers this season, the ball hit the linesman i.e. had he not been there, it would have went out. So the Rangers player picked it up and he got booked for a handball i.e. he was going to take a throw-in.

A bit random but anyway :
The keeper comes up for the corner in the 90th minute but the opponent striker wins the ball and then shoots from his own half into the open goal, the keeper tries to run back to save it but he realise he's not going to make it so he takes off his boot, throws it and it lands on the line and stops the ball.
Is that cheating or would the game just carry on?

Unsportsmanlike conduct? i.e. yellow card & a bounce up?

You're not allowed to take off your boot, Hernandez was penalised for it against Bilbao.

Handball, penalty to the attacking team and red card for the goalkeeper.

if a player was to climb on another teammates shoulders, and then they crossed the ball in high so only he could head it, and he scored. Would that be allowed?

You can't commit a dangerous play against your own teammate.

If a player took a shot lets say from outside the box and was flying into the top corner, but the defender flicked his boot off at it somehow and the boot deflected the shot.. what would happen?

What would happen if a ninja threw his sword at the ball and the ball was cut into two equally sized halves and one half went in to the goal and the other half went behind? Would that count as half a goal and would play resume with corner?

And I don't think that's a drop ball in Chris's scenario. If it was intentional, it would be considered like a handball. But if it's not intentional, then there is no offense and play resumes.

It would be a drop ball from where the ninja hit the ball or where the ball was when referee stops play (if he stops play before the ninja comes in contact with the ball).

Alright, so you're telling me rugby style line-outs for crosses are permissible?
And I don't think that's a drop ball in Chris's scenario. If it was intentional, it would be considered like a handball. But if it's not intentional, then there is no offense and play resumes.
I believe the boot becomes a foreign object once it leaves his foot.

There is no rule stating a player can't lift his teammate in the air. For a foul to occur (specifically a dangerous play), a player must commit that foul against an opponent. So technically you are allowed to do it. Now, if there is an opponent around the referee could probably make a case for dangerous play if say the player has his elbows/hips at the same level as the opponent's face.

I hope you don't actually referee matches, this isn't the first time you've made some weird calls.
Question number 8
It's the quarter-final of Euro 2008. The Netherlands are a goal down with just seconds remaining of added-on time. The referee awards a corner kick to the Dutch.
The Netherlands keeper leaves his goal and races into the opposition penalty area, but the corner is hit too high and is likely to swing past the far post out of play, well out of everyone's reach.
Two Dutch players hoist the keeper high in the air, rugby-style. They do not block, impede or interfere with any opponents as they hold the keeper steady in the air like a towering statue.
The ball flies towards him and he meets it perfectly to head it into the back of the net.
What would you do in this situation?
Keith Hackett's answer
This is a very good question and with the regular exploits of Edwin van der Sar into his opponent's penalty area when playing for Manchester United this could well happen at Euro 2008.
In this type of unusual incident in the heat of a game and in the dying seconds, it could catch a match official out and result in a wrong and very debatable decision.
It is NO GOAL. The two players involved in lifting the goalkeeper, as well as Van der Sar, will be cautioned for UNSPORTING BEHAVIOUR. The game would re-start with an indirect free-kick to the defending team from where the offence took place.
If, however, the offence took place in the goal area, then the kick could be taken from anywhere in the six-yard box.

That's still not a dangerous play, idiot. They would get booked for unsporting behavior.

The point is, dick head, if I'd been the referee I would have given a yellow card to the participating players and awarded an indirect free kick to the defending side, the elements of the offences may have been different, but the punishments would have been correct. Had you been the referee you would have incorrectly allowed the goal and by the time the next corner came along you would have both teams forming giant human pyramids to fight each other to win a header from 18 ft in the air.

There is nothing in the laws of the game that says you must give a yellow card and indirect freekick for something like that. USB (Unsporting Behavior) is one of those open to interpretations things. It's like when some refs disallow a goal if a player goes down on his knees and heads the ball across the goal line.
The situation described rarely happens anyways.
