Did anyone notice the ITV pundits going on over Ruud's 'offside' goal again last night? They showed some footage from the Spain game (IIRC) where a player was off the pitch and they were saying he was offside (according to UEFA's interpretation of the law). Thing was, it was an attacking player that was off the pitch, not a defender. Are they not aware that the offside rule distinguishes between attackers and defenders, or are they just blatantly ignoring that fact to 'prove' they are right in saying Ruud was offside? (I think it's the latter)

Someone at the BBC still sore over the Koeman incident then?
