They should have to drop there stick immediately after scoring like in college, and every goal scorers stick should be checked. If a player is caught by a ref altering a stick after the stick check the stick should be removed from the game. As far as the she tying goes, that girl ticked off a full minute off the clock, and she not only tied her shoe, she first untied it, but thats on the ref as soon as she untied the shoe she should have been green carded and made to leave the field of play until the equipment was fixed. I know she was going to have an 8 meter but another girl should have been awarded the shot in her place. Besides, I bet they wished they had that minute back at the end of the game. Thats the Creator making everything even again
