The ref left the pitch this time, so goal stands! 
I thought for a moment it might be because Gross took the corner with the ball outside the markings. The linesman picked him up on the following occasion.
Not so clever now, are you VAR ?
Corner was fine. The ball doesn’t have to touch the line.
I think you’re jumping the gun here; the official decision reversing the goal isn’t due until the PL meet on Monday afternoon. You need to allow at least 24 hrs after the final whistle for a result to be adjusted against Brighton.

It was neither inside, or touching the edge, it was completely outside the corner area. I noted that as he went to take it. The next corner was picked up by the lino.

There is always a first time.
We’ve seen a goal scored after the final whistle, we’ve seen a perfectly good free-kick goal re-taken after it’s been given, we’re going to have a very very bad Monday once the EPL panel get hold of the footage of Dunk touching a Southampton player in the box.

Not the rule buddy. Doesn’t matter on what’s touching anything. Birdseye view above that ball - if any part is overlapping any of the white line it’s fine. Camera angles make the mind think it’s not in etc - but that’s 99.9% overlapping (there is no camera angle to confirm this)
Tried to add a pic but won’t let me

Yep - imagine going up to that ball and looking at it from above - part of the circle you see of the whole ball will be overlapping the edge of that line. It’s a trick of the eye angle - we did this at refs course when I qualified donkeys years ago as a youth.
Peter Walton agrees.

Absolutely fine for reasons given above. I am astounded by the number of fans that don’t know this.

It's the same reason that "did it cross the line" disputed goals are looked at from above and must be 100% completely over the line to be given.
If it's not 100% past the line then it's deemed on the line.

Yup. I had a sneaky peek on the Saints forum after the game (for a laugh, like) and there were a couple of them doing their NUT over the ball "not being in the quadrant" for that corner.
But then the other week we had a commentator and co-commentator who didn't even know the rule about a forward touching the ball when a penalty comes back off the woodwork without it being touched by another player. And they are bloody PAID to know whats going on ffs.
Ignorance rules.
I am too, nearly all corner takers in the PL do it now, trying to squeeze out a couple of cm advantage..

Yep - Welbeck had technically kicked that pen twice. I’ve said it on here 20 times before but I reckon 90% of ‘tight’ throw-ins given are still in. Of course, very hard to tell in normal time and every bench min the country seems to appeal when the ball is still in for throws but that’s the game I guess!

I was more concerned when the ref blew his whistle three times on 93minutes, thought we’d done something wrong

Keep it down though eh. We'll end up with VAR checking throw-in decisions otherwise.
