Of course, that's the rule. Except if it's Wayne Rooney.
OK, that might be me being a wee bit paranoid but the number of times he's wrongly flagged offside is just unheard of.
Ronaldo is even faster (more difficult for the linesmen) and also liked to go behind defences, you'd think he'd be flagged just as much. He didn't.
There was that one time though away at Derby, when he scored later in the match, he celebrated waving an imaginary flag like a madman, completely taking the piss out of the linesman, great stuff that was!
