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

'what goes over goalie's head' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'annoyed pub' is the wordplay.
'annoyed' becomes 'cross' (cross can mean angry).
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'cross'+'bar'='CROSSBAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crossbar that I've seen before include "one's seen on a bike?" , "Top football goal" , "Horizontal beam over goal posts" , "It's over the goalie's head" , "Part of bicycle or goal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
