Just to clarify point 1, a touch or deflection by the defender is not sufficient to reset the offside, only proper control of the ball by a defender.

The first goal that was disallowed, was that for offside? It seems to me that the defender touched the ball on the way through, used to be that if the ball was played by a defender then you weren't offside. Presuming that rule has changed 2. Gradel - not excusing him for shoddy behaviour that could have cost us dear. However, looking at it again and again I think Jones must have said something to Gradel to set him off Zidane style. Gradel has his back to Jones, then suddenly turns and stamps on his foot and pushes him. Jones then fakes that he's been hit in the face the plonker. Anyway, all water under the bridge and thanks to all the hardcore listers who keep us lot overseas updated with match reports etc. you know who you are. Hopefully I'll be dusting off my jester hat in a year or two!
