Rolling ball when the corner was taken?
Not many. The ball would have to be COMPLETELY outside the triangle. In the same way it has to cross the line for a goal.How many goals are scored with the ball not being in the corner flag triangle.
That seems to be the case, it started with putting the ball on the line, then on the outside of the Line, then at times its not even touchingHow many goals are scored with the ball not being in the corner flag triangle.
The ball only needs to intersect the line. it can be 99% outside the quadrant ine, as long as 1mm of the ball hangs above the quadrant it's legal.That seems to be the case, it started with putting the ball on the line, then on the outside of the Line, then at times its not even touching
I think that's right now but as I posted above the rules don't actually say that. The rule is too vague.difficult to say, it 'might' have come to a stop just prior to taking it, it might not as well

That's fine but there was a time when McNair placed the ball down & there was daylight between the ball & the line, little things I knowdifficult to say, it 'might' have come to a stop just prior to taking it, it might not as well

Doesn't have to be touching, It has to be over the line from above, just like a goal.That seems to be the case, it started with putting the ball on the line, then on the outside of the Line, then at times its not even touching
Suppose its human nature to try & get a little more if an advantage each time
it is possible to place the ball down and see daylight but the edge of the ball be over the line, camera angles can be very deceptive on thisThat's fine but there was a time when McNair placed the ball down & there was daylight between the ball & the line, little things I know
It is also stated in the law that all lines on the field are part of the area they enclose, and in all cases involving a ball crossing a line, it is specified the ball must be completely over the line before it is no longer in the area encompassed by that line. Which is why for instance, the whole of the ball must be over the whole of the line, before a goal is scored. Because if that is not the case, the ball has not left the field and is therefore still in play.Rule for corners
The ball must be placed in the corner area nearest to the point where the ball passed over the goal line.
Rule 1 is field markings but says nothing about where the ball has to be for a corner.It is also stated in the law that all lines on the field are part of the area they enclose, and in all cases involving a ball crossing a line, it is specified the ball must be completely over the line before it is no longer in the area encompassed by that line.

Because if that is not the case, the ball has not left the field and is therefore still in play.
With the corner quadrant, as with all other lines, if any part of the ball is still overhanging the line, the ball is considered to be still within that particular area.
The next time you watch a game, watch what the AR does when the corner is on their side and the ball is close to the edge of the quadrant. You'll see the AR lean over to look directly down on the ball and if any part of the ball overhangs the line, they will let the kick go ahead because they know that a ball overhanging the line is still technically inside the quadrant.
