my question is if the Cardiff player had been completely off the
pitch, would that have brought offside into play? I am fairly
sure the Leeds Utd goal scorer would have been offside if the
aforementioned defender was sat on his arse further up the
field.

No, as a defender that leaves the pitch is deemed to be on the
pitch for the purposes of offside.

Which is ridiculous! How can a person not active in the game
still affect offside. It’s doesn’t make any sense

If it wasn’t the case, people would just step off the pitch to
make an (otherwise onside) attacker offside. Think about it

But when has that ever happened. Why should a defending team be
punished for having a player off receiving treatment? If a
player deliberately steps off the pitch that is a cautionable
offence

A player receiving treatment is off the field with the referees'
permission and not, therefore, part of the game until and unless
that player receives the referees' permission to re-join the
game.
Also, you have not seen it happen because the Law currently
prevents it from giving an advantage to the defending team. If
the Law was not written as it is, you would see it quite often.
Clearly, that is only my view; but it is one based on the
cynical way in which players and coaches exploit loopholes in
the Law to their own advantage.
