Now, I'd like to see a referee get that decision right.
That doesn't include goal kicks does it? Say if Rob Green was getting ready for a goal kick, and slips and accidentally kicks it back into his own goal :oops: , would that be a corner as well?

From my memory way back when I was trained as a ref - You cannot turn around and kick the ball into your own net. If say the wind was bad, and the ball went into the goal before anyone else touched it, then it goes out for a corner.
