    Shall do. To get in the proper mindset, however, I'm going to have to first light some candles, and listen to Morrissey for 18 hours straight while reading Notes from the Underground over and over. Assuming I make it through with all my veins intact, I'll have a thread up sometime this weekend.

    Look, I'm a Method thread-maker. And if I can't get myself to the point where strangling myself with my own intestines seems appealing, I'm not truly committing to my art.

    Is that why I do a happy thread that predicts a 4-0 win I normally do it after a bottle of Merlot and a cheeky Jack Daniels :)

    Officials got it right & whatever rule they used, should use more often,

    It was allowed then but the rule changed at the start of this season, now not allowed.

    So what's the rule now then?

    Surely there isn't a rule on how far the ball needs to travel from the corner arc before it becomes 'live' so in that case a corner like the Rooney/Giggs one would still be perfectly legal?

    The rule used to be that the ball needs to travel the circumference of the ball.

    Now it just needs to be kicked and clearly move. It doesn’t need to leave the corner arc.

    Doesn't even have to be in the corner arc to start with these days...as long as its shadow would be cast there if a light was above it (may not be the actual words in the rule book, but seems to be the interpretation). Would be easier to just say it has to be in the arc....why introduce elements of doubt....as if the odd inch* even matters in the scheme of things.

    How much of it will I read?

    1 mark in the referee test to ChilcoSaint. The word "clearly" was added this year, and in the explanation: "Reflects change to other laws, but which is especially important for corner kicks to stop a player just touching the ball then unsportingly pretending that the corner has not been taken".

    OK, I'll bite: Fran, for some of us the odd inch is very important.<magic>

    Which does raise another question - was that measured parallel to the ground or in 3-dimensional space? And why wasn't it the diameter, easy to see, instead of the circumference, requiring me to work out 3.14 ball widths? Sadly the rule was changed before the young Qwerty was old enough to ponder any of that.

    Come on Qwerty, anyone knows that working out the circumference of a sphere is as easy as pi :)
