Van Nistelrooy. Offside or onside?

[Excellent]

If anyone says he was on-side you deserve to be shot. A player was off the field, he was off the pitch and therefore out of play..

My gut reaction to the goal was that it was onside.
So I'll stick with that.

[Kent]

onside as there was no reason for him to be off the pitch

[Geraint]

onside as there was no reason for him to be off the pitch

So if a car run me over and I ended up in a different country, I'm an illegal immigrant?

The goalkeeper clattered him. He couldn't exactly get up.

I think offside, definately.
It makes no sense whatsoever that a player pushed off of the field counts as an active player. If an attacker can be 'inactive', why can't a defender be? Especially if they're injured and off the field of play.

The rule should be revised.

[Disaronno]

I think it wasnt offside as his own gk hurt him rather than another player as there could be no foul?

[Malachy]

offside. simple.
