What is the back stick in football? Is it part of the goal posts?

Yes, we can sometimes hear the phrase 'back stick' which means the far post - the one furthest away from the player crossing the ball.

If a player scores at the back stick it means that they have arrived at the far post to score (maybe unmarked)

Here's an example from the Norwich City official twitter account of the phrase:

Good one, I didn't know it, just "the far post".

Nice explanation with video example.
