VAR

From the image they drew from the Everton players foot to Diagnes foot it's the correct decision. But looking at the whole image the Everton players arm/shoulder is playing Diagne on.

I was surprised.....and then not....how quickly they came to the decision, it was a wafer thin call surely?

Were the Indian DRS crew in the VAR truck?

But the ball wasn't in that picture so how do we know when it was played?

There is an image on Twitter. From the Everton players foot to Diagne's he is 2 inches offside when the ball is played. But the Everton player is leaning in towards goal. From that image it looks like his arm and shoulder are playing Diagne onside. VAR only appeared to check foit to foot though.

This is a huge issue with offsides on VAR, and one rarely mentioned. There is never any debate whether the frame is the correct one for when the ball is exactly played. I also read somewhere that the time taken between each frame means there can be quite a difference in the amount the offside player and defender can move (in the space of one frame, if you get me). Not sure I’ve explained that well, but it’s something that is never mentioned. Everyone’s focus is always on the offside player/defender, never on whether the video is stopped at the precise moment the ball is played. And more particularly, whether the gap between each frame then makes the fact we are judging offsides by a cm absurd.

The one chalked out for Chelsea just now equally as tight.

No they weren't.  By the general consensus of England cricket fans on here, if they were then they would only have found in favour of the home team.

Arms aren’t considered in VAR calculations. The law is any part of the body that can legally score a goal.

I’ve just said on another thread he looked level on the correct frame but they took it from the next frame which was wrong. Same with Chelsea Werner scored a great finish and was given offside when for me it wasn’t.
