I would certainly have no problem asking the timekeeper and two scorekeepers to join the team of three officials to come up with a fair decision.

Final decision is left up to the referee, and if he can't decide based on knowledge which alters such a ruling, the goal counts.

2-5-3: The referee must: Decide whether a goal must count if the officials disagree.

2-13-1: If table officials agree that time expired before the ball was in flight, the goal must not count.

2-13-3: If table officials disagree, the goal must count and/or the foul must be penalized, unless the referee has knowledge which alters such ruling.
