Was thinking that myself.
They've had 5-10 minutes to look at it and the best their "experts" have is "Ummmm, dunno."
Dopes.
It's onside. The rule was changed to prevent defenders stepping off the pitch deliberately and catching attackers offside.
He didn't leave the pitch deliberately though.
Doesn't matter, he's interfering with play under the rules.
I think there was some episode with van Nistelrooy, think it was Italy vs Netherlands at Euro 2008 that lead to this rule change.
Pretty obvious that if he wasn't offside, the rules are flawed as you could easily abuse it.
Not according to whoever BT Sport eventually got round to asking.
Either way, I think this is something the IFAB will be looking to clarify next time they meet as the laws are clear as mud at the minute.
The rule is supposedly if you accidentally go off the pitch, then it’s offside. That’s to stop people abusing it by deliberately stepping off.
Not being funny they had 5 minutes for somebody to research over the ad break. Instead they spent 10 minutes of half time analysis telling us they weren’t sure in the rules.
I hate BT, having two separate companies having rights for the Premier League and Champions League has just meant two lots of subscriptions.

Some commentator on American TV explained the rule. Apparently, if a player steps off the pitch he's deemed to be stood on the goal line so there's no possibility of any player being offside.
Isn't it offside because you need the refs permission to leave the field of play and not be active?
Otherwise you'd stand behind the goal, wait until the ball is launched forward and run on since you weren't offside when the ball was played

I don't think I have ever agreed with any comment from cyberman. Am I drunk?
Welcome to the dark side my friend, it's a slippery slope from here on in.
Spurs and Chelsea fans get Hoddle, Liverpool and United fans get McManaman. Something isn’t right here.
I’m done with watching this shit week in week out. Cancelling my BT subscription. Goodbye BT Sport!
Oddly, I quite liked McManaman tonight. He didn't sound full of hate, nor did he boil my piss at all. That's never happened before.
Yeah, he seemed to be backing us quite a bit. It was strange when he said it was a comfortable night for us.
Lineker is terrible at anchoring BT's Champions League coverage.
Tired of pundits who sugar coat and just run out cliches. We were very poor tonight and Sevilla largely bossed the game. A few players deserve criticism for how bad they were I.E Lukaku/Mata.
Does anyone get the impression the pundits/Gary struggle for material at the end? Last night it seemed he was struggling for something to talk about, and him just talking about freshly cut grass there felt like he was again 
Maybe they should cut it by 5 mins.

With Gerrard leaving. Lampard could be going to Derby.
They apparently want Roy Keane to replace them. Hope it’s true as it might make their prematch and post match stuff more watchable.

I like BT Sports to a point. Enjoy Keown. Enjoy McManaman and his I went to Real Madrid on Bosman and won 2 CLs vibe. Lampard is sharp too. Hoddle sounds like he’d talk me down off a ledge no problem. To be honest the only regular I can’t really stand is Rio. Sorry Rio. Too much Lawndawn for me.
Rather Gerrard and Lampard than Keane, he's just grouchy and attention seeking, his act got boring years ago. Every now and again he'll say something decent.
I enjoyed Gerrard/Lampard/Ferdinand team on BT, recently retired pundits who have achieved a lot in the game who were honest and spoke sense.

Humphrey being an utter cnut shocker.
Not sure if it was also Humphrey but they asked Ryan Mason if he wish he could be playing that game. What kind of f'ed up question is that to someone who fractured his skull and had to retire

dreadful commentators, awful pundits (except Rio). Even Lineker talks bollox compared with when he's on MoTD
McMannaman, Ince, and Hargreaves all on their coverage tonight.
Surely they could have got someone better?

Hargreaves isn’t too bad. Ince and McMannaman are trash.
I think the real question is could they have got anyone worse.
I like McManaman. Unbiased and has a good knowledge of football.
The other 2 are shit.
McMananman is a shocker with his pub-knowitall demeanour.
Why is Paul Ince in the studio for this!!??
He's not unbiased at all.
He predicted Utd to finish outside the top 4 on saturday for the reason that he didn't want us to make top 4.
So when Ole loses, he'll say what he would have done or if ole wins he'll say he would have won it too.
BT have the shittest adverts on TV.
"Gunnar Go For It"
Bugger off.
"Gunnar Go For It"
Bugger off.
Or maybe he just thought United would finish outside the top 4?
We're not keeping this form you forever you know.
Is he really that bad? I've genuinely not noticed. He always seems fair with his opinion of United. I mean just tonight he was extremely complimentary of our form and the job Ole has done.
I don't really mind McManaman tbh. I don''t watch BT Sport regularly though, just one in every few games, so maybe he's better in small doses.
