Newport GK just scored!

I think , again, I'm conflating two things. If a keeper takes a goal kick, the wind takes it back into his own net without it being touched...it's a corner. If the keeper tries to save it (or another player) and it goes into his own net...it's a goal. Different of the ball goes into the opposition net. I'll see if rule changes over the years may have given a different interpretation. A mate of mine's brother used to be a ref. His last match was....City v QPR, years back. I'll enquire. In the meantime, I'm looking for an example of a keeper who has scored directly from a goal kick, without the ball touching the ground.

I don't think touching the ground is going to have anything to do with it. Touching another player is understandable.

Only with consent, of course.
