object

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'goal' is the first definition.
(I know that object is a type of goal)

'minder may' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for object that I've seen before include "Express disapproval" , "State opposition" , "oppose" , "Protest, disapprove" , "Sporting description of ball" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
