Interesting issue with the off side ruling.

The whole foot (hence the leg, and thus body) has to be adjudged over the direct line to the opponent's (last) defender in order to be ruled off side.

The computer gizmo showed quite clearly the Coventry forward was no way over that line. In fact, he barely touched that line.

A formal legal appeal by Coventry is being made to the F.A.
