Commentator insists Sterling's goal was offside. Richie was clearly playing him in wasn't he? Unless there's some weird rule about being off the pitch?

 

[Steven Toast]

Not sure why Ichenacho's goal was ruled offside, there was nothing wrong with it.

Is it not to do with the position of the keeper? Like once the last defender (Ritchie) is past the keeper, the defensive line then becomes the last defender in front of the keeper..?

Then again I could be WAY off..

You're way off.

Richies off the pitch so isn't counted

You're close. Contrary to popliar belief you actually have to be in front of the last two players to be onside, including the goalkeeper. (It doesn't have to be da goalkeeper but he counts as one of the two).

Even if a defender is beyond the goalline, he still counts for offside purposes. So Sterling was onside.

Gayle's a dozy twat.

And Mclean's just an arsehole.

Spot on.
Remember playing once and a player screamed I'm off the pitch so he's off ref. The ref said up to you but leaving the pitch without my permission is a sending off offence, so its up to you?
