I'm sure there will be some that say, who cares about Awoniyi? (really??) and there will be some that defend this abomination of the offside rule, but the instruction to allow play to continue even if a player is offside must be one of the most ridiculous additions to the offside rule ever placed on it.
Aside from the horrific injury that happened to the attacking Awoniyi, in my opinion, the rule is already a farce which benefits the attacker, because he (or she) has to be interfering with play to be offside, whereas any defending player can play an attacker onside, whether he (or she) is 'interfering' with play.
I might be a bit thick, but if I was a manager and any of my players on the pitch weren't deemed to be interfering with play - I'd say what the hell are they doing on there?
