I find it a bit hard to believe that 52% of men thought it applied to the defending player. They must have all been tucking into their prawn sandwiches, in a hospitality box at Old Trafford when surveyed.

Reminds me of that Arsenal fan John Thompson would take off on "The Fast Show", who really had no clue about football.
I'm sorry, that link seems to take me to some other story. But even my American wife who is in the early stages of her 'soccer' education understands the offside rule. eek
Ah so it does - damn Yahoo!

I'll see if I can find it somewhere else.
I understand it (I think). Beest says "ish". grin
