In most sports, if a player goes out of bounds like that, he may only regain possession or touch the ball (soccer, football, or basketball) after another player has done so.

The point is moot but I did think that you were suggesting that the goal shouldn't have stood. Maybe I was mistaken :D
:blushing:
*realises the goalie touched the ball* :lol: :whistling
Looking at the video evidence, I would disallow the goal. The player appears to leave the pitch of his own accord (notice how he takes a quick stroll before returning to the field of play). As the player has chosen to stay on the sideline he should remian there until the ball has been put out of play or return to the pitch in a non attacking manner.
