I do think Berahino jumped backwards into Pants causing him to drop it - and there may be a case to be made for the possible handball and kickig it out of his hands - having said that it makes a change to see keepers not over protected.

I'm a referee, the goal was most definitely not offside. As discussed a defender off the pitch (and not receiving treatment) behind the goal line is considered to be on the goal line and in play.

Yeah, that's right. When I played ,I was on the post for a corner and when I saw a pass coming to their striker I stepped off the pitch and appealed for offside. Thought I'd been a clever fucker, but I was booked for leaving the field of play to try and gain advantage - every day is a school day!From the FA Rule Book if you don't believe me:

Nice to see the commentator in the City game having zero understanding of the offside rule, even nicer to see that no-one on MOTD bothered, post match, to correct the poor commentary so everyone now thinks the initial goal was a mile offside. It wasn't, it was a mile onside. The player with Zaba left the field of play, albeit unintentionally, he doesn't just disappear, he's still active and deemed to be stood on the goal line until he re-enters the pitch, so therefore playing Sterling onside. If I know this, and numerous others on here know this, then how someone who is paid what I can only assume is a decent amount of money to talk about football DOESN'T know this I really don't know.

I thought Klopp came over as a decent fella in his interview - articulate and prepared to laugh and joke and Ranieri did too but he always seems to - again Jose take note ya moanin' twat
I don't really care which answer you like, but if you can find the so called rule in question in the following link, then I will stand corrected.No offence Pam but I prefer PB's answer.

"Any defending player" means the player defending, even if it's Sergio.From the FA Rule Book if you don't believe me:

Here's the link to the FA's own rule book.I don't really care which answer you like, but if you can find the so called rule in question in the following link, then I will stand corrected.

At the bottom is a pdf document about interpretation, which contains the quote I posted earlier.
And your other point is correct. If Sergio is the player defending and he steps over his own goal line then he's in play. When they say "defender" they mean any player in the defending team.
In the Chelsea game, when Costa scored the first, he was in an offside position when Willian took the ball off Lescott. He was onside when Willian passed to him for the goal but surely he was gaining an advantage when he was offside in the first place?
