It would make no difference as to where Borini was before Skrtel headed it as you cant be offside from a corner. The moment Skrtel touched it Borini would have been called offside and the goal disallowed if he was interfering with the play. As Skash has already proven with the picture, he had no player around him, and was not involved with the goal, therefore the goal was allowed and is right.
It's pretty simple really, it just seems the OP is clutching at straws and digging a deeper hole trying to get out.
and thats the arguement, by being where he was, was borini seeking to gain an advantage, by being beyond the last man, near the goal, it could be argued he was, and are ALL goals given in this instance, it could be argued not.
If Hart were to have stopped the header and it bounced back out then yeah he would have an advantage, but the linesman then would have flagged for offside, or well hopefully he would in that situation.
The only time he would have been active in that situation is if Hart were to have saved it, or the ball went near him and he looked to have played it.
The offside rule is wank though, that's a certainty.

I never mentioned offside..
If borini had been stood in front of hart blocking or obstructing his view, the goal wouldnt have been given..
Thats the only arument i'm giving ..
I know mate, it would have been disallowed in that circumstance, my point was to the OP.
