Goal scored with extra person on FoP

I'm a bit puzzled by the possible restarts with this, but that's possibly because I can't see them being explicitly explained in the LOTG anywhere?

Law 3: 9. Goal scored with an extra person on the field of play
If, after a goal is scored, the referee realises, before play restarts, an extra person was on the field of play when the goal was scored:
• the referee must disallow the goal if the extra person was:
• a player, substitute, substituted player, sent off player or team official of the team that scored the goal
• an outside agent who interfered with play unless a goal results as outlined above in ‘extra persons on the field of play’
Play is restarted with a goal kick, corner kick or dropped ball.

Am I right or horrifically wrong in thinking what the laws are trying to say is, if play hasn't already started following the goal:
- If a team scores with an extra player on the field, the restart is a goal kick.
- If a team scores with an extra player on the field but the final touch is by a defending player, the restart is a corner.
- If a team scores with an extra player on the field, but the final touch is by an outside agent (whose touch didn't stop a defending player from stopping the goal being scored), the restart is a dropped ball.
- Also, if the extra player was on the field without permission of the referee and he interfered with play, the restart should instead be a DFK from where he interfered with play.

Little help please! I feel like i'm barking up the wrong tree but can't find an explanation.

Refollie,
I too am a little confused about how play could restart with a corner, but I think your analysis is correct in respect of the last touch off a defender. It would be nice if it was explicit.

However, I have trouble reconciling Section 7 and 9. They seem to overlap and contradict.

section 7 says: any extra person => allow goal if no interference on defender
section 9 says: extra person on scoring team => disallow goal - even if no interference

I think the new text in section 7 needs to be cleaned up to say
...allow goal only if a) no interference and b) extra person is neutral or part of defending staff"

Sorry i just saw I repeated your response. Can't find delete.

Yeah, I think you're right. If in doubt, give the best "sellable" outcome to the non-offending team.
