I'll Decide ...
I seem to see so much of this these days, both on the TV and in the matches I referee myself.
All too often, corners are taken with the ball literally more outside the line of the corner quadrant than in it.
I'm not aware of any hard and fast rule or of any law which categorically states what the accepted "in or out" boundary is but surely the ball should be more inside the line than outside it?
I know about the "whole of the ball" issue, but should that not apply so as to make sure the ball is inside the line rather than outside it?
Advice and/or opinions please chaps, gratefully received as always.
