Yes, but the keeper cannot dive untill it passes Rooney as he doesn't know if Rooney is going to touch it or not, he cannot commit untill it's too late. That's the problem with the stupid rule, it's expecting defenders and keepers to be linesman and know who is offisde and somehow adjust their game. You see it all the time where defenders lunge to cut out through passes, taking themselves out the game and losing possession, even though the guy the ball is aimed at is offside. The defender cannot just let it through, as he can't be sure it's offside, but the other team then gains from him having to cut the ball out.SPIDERBOY said:Never a penalty,fellaini shoved the defender......herrera goal was fine IMO......yes rooney was offside,but didn't impede the keepers vision and didn't touch it.
