'What's the point of corner flags?'

Sean wonders what the point of corner flags is. Barry has an answer.

β€œI have a question for football fans,” Sean says. β€œI asked Barney Sloan this question and he ignored me. On the field of play what’s the point of having corner flags?”
β€œThe corner flag exists,” says Barry, β€œto 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!”
β€œNot at all!” Sean says. β€œI’m not buying into that!”
β€œThe reason for the corner flag,” says Torso, β€œis to give the goal scorer somewhere to celebrate.”
With music from Chris Andrews, Neil Diamond, The Statler Brothers, and more.
