People are so confused on this one.
Touching the inside of the pylon (for example, by a diving player who has already established himself in bounds) can be proof that the ball crossed the goalline before crossing the out of bounds line.
However, on a catch, you must have TWO FEET ON THE GROUND IN BOUNDS.
The pylon is NOT part of the ground for purposes of this rule. Touching it with a foot does not constitute touching the ground in bounds, regardless of what side of the pylon you touch.
