Barney Rubble Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Just watched Clark score a stonking header for Newcastle v Chelsea from Matt Ritchie's corner. But the corner was taken with the entire ball outwith the corner area. Why is that permissible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It’s not, but it seems to happen pretty routinely these days & you don’t even here the crowd complaining any more most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Supper Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 As long as as the ball is cutting the quadrant then it is playable. The ball is not required to be on or inside the quadrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Supper Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Similar to everyone shouting for a shy, goal etcwhen the whole of the ball has not crossed the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoys me how often throw ins etc. are given when the whole ball hasn’t crossed the line. In the case of a corner, I never get the need to steal 10 inches... some players obviously do it to wind up opposition fans at the corner, but I’d imagine at a corner the difference is pretty negligible.

Big Ramy 1314 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering the same thing. I have seen corners with the ball outside the quadrant with the linesman standing right beside it. I'm wondering, WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB52 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 As others have said, the whole of the ball must be outside the quadrant, otherwise it is fine. No part of the ball has to be touching the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No part of the ball has to be physically touching the line Yeah, visually the ball needs to be touching the line, but I know what you mean.

Scotty CTA Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 From a top view,... if the ball is over the plane of the line (without touching it) then the placement should be legal (despite there visibly being 'green' between the line and the ball).

Scotty CTA Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 You'll notice that the ball second closest to the corner flag is still in play despite no part of the ball touching the field of play or even the line. The reason being is that from an overhead view part of the ball is over the plane of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I went & had a look at the rule on this & all it says is that the ball must be in the corner area. I suppose the 'whole of the ball crossing the whole of the line' rule must apply without it being expressly stated? It's one of those things though that seems to have crept into the modern game. Although given that most corners I ever see either fail to beat the first man or sail over everyone, it's hard to see how it's giving any meaningful advantage.

The ball is placed correctly for a corner if any part of the ball is above the corner area. It doesn't need to be touching the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
