鈥淚 have a question for football fans,鈥 Sean says. 鈥淚 asked Barney Sloan this question and he ignored me. On the field of play what鈥檚 the point of having corner flags?鈥
鈥淭he corner flag exists,鈥 says Barry, 鈥渢o make the distinction of, when the ball crosses the by-line, whether it is a corner or goal kick or throw in. They're an absolute necessity in the modern game as somehow top level professionals have got thicker than champ!鈥
鈥淣ot at all!鈥 Sean says. 鈥淚鈥檓 not buying into that!鈥
鈥淭he reason for the corner flag,鈥 says Torso, 鈥渋s to give the goal scorer somewhere to celebrate.鈥
