Would the same work for a GK parrying a shot to an offside striker?
Ours against Southampton was disallowed.
Thats my point, using their flawed logic, doesn't the keeper intentionally playing the ball play Raz onside?

Edit: the laws do state that a save is ok
A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent.
A ‘save’ is when a player stops, or attempts to stop, a ball which is going into or very close to the goal with any part of the body except the hands/arms (unless the goalkeeper within the penalty area).
Garcia didn't save anything and also the linesman could have flagged for offside before Garcia touched it, he didn't.
Soon the Rags and Scouse will use 8 metres either side of the goal as "Close" to the goal.
All pathetic and unnecessary rule changes like the crap about Phases of play.
