    Deliberate movement of the ball then Mr Pedantic, either way you were wrong.

    Probs used up all their Pen credits.

    Ole will be changing up a £20 note tomorrow to buy a few more tokens.

    With respect Tobes, that's bollocks. The rule makes no mention of 'control' at all, just a deliberate intent to play the ball. So yes (see Milner example) if it 'bounces off' a defender unwittingly, it's still offside. If the defender attempts at all to play it (as Lovren comically did), then it's onside. I personally think that penalises the defending player for playing to the whistle.

    No, I wasn't and I'm not being pedantic.
    You're claiming it wouldn't include touches on crosses, as you're not in control of it, but that's not in the rule.

    How is he being pedantic? You incorrectly added a caveat about control which doesn't exist. As the rule is any touch from a defender on a cross negates offside as its a deliberate attempt to play the ball surely?

    The way our players pause and signal to their defenders where we're going to pass I think is really considerate.
