Your position is incompatible with that of Seanireland. Can we come to a consensus on this. Now that we've talked about it and it is unclear in my mind, it is guaranteed to happen on my wing tomorrow night. What is your basis for requiring the runner to be in contact inbounds?

1) ball hits pylon anywhere while runner is in bounds or diving is a TD. 1.2.4

2) runner crosses goal line in bounds with ball over goal line extended is a TD. 2.25.3a

3) runner possesses ball so that the ball breaks the plane of the goal line, but he is not touching the ground (defender holds him up in the air) is a TD. 8-2-1

4) runner touches in bounds somehow, but ball is over the goal line extended is a TD. 2-25-3.

5) runner dives and lands past the goal line OOB and doesn't touch pylon. Ball is spotted where the foremost point of the ball crossed the sideline. Not a TD. 2-28-2; 2.25.3b

Now do I have it right? I am mostly the wing official, and I must get it right. Am I on the right page now? Do I now have a clue?
THANKS for all the clarifications.
