Brown slid to try and stop the ball reaching said offside player and in doing so diverted the ball into his own net. As the offside rule stood at that time, it was the right decision. It was very annoying, and I was going mad in the stadium, but it was right. You're completely wrong. At the time the ball was played, Brown was already anticipating the cross and had stretched his leg practically to the goal line, playing Viduka onside. It was shown again and again on TV, leaving no doubt whatsoever as to the colossal nature of the mistake. (Colossal in that it cost us untold millions.)   Cheers!   Sean
