What would happen if an attacker shoots and the goalkeeper stops the ball on the line so that the ball is still, but the wind then blows the ball in? Who would get their name on the scoresheet?

If this had been a goal kick would this had been a own-goal or a corner? I'd say a corner.
Definitely a corner (as learned from 'You Are The Ref') although I don't understand the rationale for why that is.
Surely no way could the goal have been given?!?!
Something to do with a goal kick being an indirect free kick and you can't score from an indirect free kick, so effectively the goal isn't there and the keeper has essentially just kicked it out for a corner.
EDIT: I take that back. Just looked up the rule. IT specifically states that a goal can only be scored directly from against the opposing team.
The ball is not in play until it leaves the penalty area.
So, I would presume, since it isn't in play until it has crossed the goal line (and thus left the penalty box), it can't be a goal, because for a goal to be scored, the ball has to be in play when it cross the goal line.
Since the ball has now left the field of play having been kicked by the goal keeper, it is a corner.
In case of incidents where the ball leaves the area from a goal kick before being blown back into the goal, I can't really say why it's a corner (other that reiterating the part about goals only being able to be scored against opposition from a goal kick), except perhaps that it's not been considered likely enough to account for in the laws, as mr burns says, the conditions for such a goal would probably dictate a game be abandoned, or perhaps it is to prevent people deliberately scoring own goals.
But it did leave the penalty area, and then it came back. And if it was a goal kick, does indirect relate to both goals, or just the opponents?The ball is not in play until it leaves the penalty area.

Is that better or worse than Dunk's OG at Anfield?
Does it make any difference if the goalkeeper touches the ball on its way into the net?Not often I post on here but as an ex-ref trainer I think I can shed some light on this. As was said above, the laws specifically state you can only score against the opposing team from a goal kick, so no goal either way. (Same applies to kick-off, corner and direct free kick, by the way.)
At a goal kick the ball is not in play until it leaves the pen area, so if it were to blow back into the goal before that happens, it would be a re-take of the goal kick. If it went out of the area first, then it would be a corner. (Ball over goal-line last kicked by member of the defending team.)
Several tricky questions like this on the ref. exam. Most footy fans could get 70% just from common knowledge. It's these questions that sort out whether you really know the 'Laws of the Game'.
