The ball is spherical. Therfore when you look at it from the angle of a sky cameraman the ball appears to be out. When actually the edge of the ball is still overhanging the line of the corner arc making it legally placed. Only way of knowing for sure is a birds eye view.

Almat Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 He's almost worth his place in the team for his deliveries alone but he actually gives the team so much more - lots of the things he does seemingly go unnoticed by some fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Also, don't forget his nous from years' of experience at top level and being a winner. Not easy to see but it's there on pitch, driving others on and steadying the ship. Last season's contract extension was really wise and could be gold for us. Brilliant!

Lee A Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 On my mobile this popped up as Ross Wallace's dead... That would be really selfish of him with so many big games coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Its something we have been missing for years, I mean who was it who took about 6 corners on the trot and couldn't beat the first man? All Wallace needs is space, he doesn't have to race to the by line, he can whip it in from virtually anywhere, all it needs is forwards with a bit of nous, and the more Fletcher Winnall and Rhodes play with him, the more dangerous we become Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyowl123 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) I reckon it's a mental thing. I know whenever I take corners in Sunday league football I have to have the ball in right in the corner - where the quadrant meets the goal line if I'm taking from the left, and where it meets the byline on the right - else for some reason I get it into my brain that the flag is in the way and my delivery is always way off. Perhaps it's something to do with having it as far forward as possible which means in his head he's definitely going to beat the first man, or something like that. Either that or he's just a wind up merchant, which we all know he is anyway. EDIT: forgot to add that it's usually perfectly legal when he places the ball just outside, as it only has to have some part of the ball overhanging the edge of the line of the quadrant. As others have said. Edited April 10, 2017 by eddyowl123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsandwich Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Just noticed this oddity on the FA site.. http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-1---the-field-of-play The quadrant should be 1yard (1metre) in size Errr - a yard is not the same as a metre!

jamsandwich Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Rule 17 makes no mention of the "quadrant" file:///C:/Users/james.sandham/Downloads/law_17-the_corner_kick.pdf "The "corner area" is defined by a quarter circle with a radius of 1 m (1 yd) from each corner flagpost drawn inside the field of play." "The ball must be placed in the corner area nearest to the point where the ball passed over the goal line" No definition of "in" in this rule Edited April 10, 2017 by jamsandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Hatstand Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 The byline and goal line are the same line btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line itself is defined as part of the corner arc, as set out in Law 1 which defines the playing area of the pitch. So, if any part of the ball is on or over the line, the ball is considered 'in' the arc. They're legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamsandwich Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 No it isn't. 90m field with a 1m quadrant is signifantly different to a 110yard pitch with a 1yard quadrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kop end, north stand side? I think he slipped when taking one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
