Going by your post, it's an offside goal.
If a player standing in an offside position is interfering with play in any way, shape, or form, he's offside.
I take the Clough view by default.
Sounds like the same situation as the goal Lazio scored in the friendly against us.
Suggests it is legit this season.
Does that mean we can leave Murray or Hemed standing in front of the keeper and providing he doesnt attempt to play the ball he is not offside.
