Corner, Or Goal Kick?

[Hopkirk]

I should know this, but here goes.

If a defender kicks the ball over the crossbar, is it a corner kick?

[JimF]

If he kicks it over his own crossbar, yes, otherwise goal kick.

[ToraToraTora]

hoppy, no why would it be?

[Hopkirk]

If a ball goes over the back line after a defender touches it, then a corner is given.
The crossbar is effectively part of the back line so it must be a corner.

[ToraToraTora]

err no! do they play football on your planet?

[ToraToraTora]

the woodwork, referees, linesmen etc are part of the apparatus, geddit?

[piggynose]

Why is this even a question? Is there money riding on it?

[Hopkirk]

On AB we are supposed to ask questions that we don't know the answer to.

Please don't take the p*** just because you know the answer.

Or do you?

[piggynose]

Good ol'ttt up to his old tricks again.

[ToraToraTora]

hopkirk: "On AB we are supposed to ask questions that we don't know the answer to." - yeah but there are limits, gawd elp us!

[ToraToraTora]

piggy: 15:45, I do wonder!

[Mamyalynne]

JimF's answer is correct.

[Hopkirk]

Jim F has given one answer.

TTT seems to think everyone knows it's the opposite.

Can anyone else help please?

IFAB Laws of the Game 2021-22
Law 17: The Corner Kick
"A corner kick is awarded when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line, on the ground or in the air, having last touched a player of the defending team, and a goal is not scored.

A goal may be scored directly from a corner kick, but only against the opposing team; if the ball directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is awarded to the opponents."

I love the second part of the above!

[Hopkirk]

Thanks Mamy. TTT is wrong then.

[Lie-in King]

TTT is wrong, JimF's answer was correct.

[Mamyalynne]

Let's say he is mistaken on this occasion.

[Hopkirk]

TTT, your move.

[ToraToraTora]

jim is correct, please, brainless *** tell me where I am wrong?? The woodwork is not effective in any decision, end of. The apparatus does not effect any decision, even for really stupid people. Capiesch?

[Atheist]

I wonder what he'll make of my post. I hope I haven't made some silly mistake, or he'll be impossible to live with!
