Human eye 'cannot spot offside'

An entirely credible report from the wonderful BBC News website, apart from one glaring error.

Under the column headline "Are You Blind, Referee?", they list the incident in the '86 World Cup where Maradona "allegedly" handles the ball over a sleeping Peter Shilton, and insinuate that Maradona may have been (WAS) offside as well.

Now, far be it from me to point out to the wonderful BBC, but,...

As the ball was played through to Maradona by an England defender, how could he possibly have been offside?
