He made an attempt to play the ball.
And doesn't get anywhere near it. That has never been given offside, ever.
He impacts the defender, challenging for the ball which is offsides.
Yes, it has. It literally happened in a Brentford game just a couple weeks ago. A player that attempts to play the ball is deemed to be interfering. I know you’re angry but please learn the rules.
Maybe not given offside vs you, but first time for everything. Rashford got away with this last season or the season before.
He's still in his line of sight though? Swear these have been disallowed before
OP has intentionally taken this screenshot from a few frames after the shot is taken because the player is moving across, probably still not really interfering but this screenshot isn't what VAR would be looking at
Do you see where the ball is
Well that settles this particularly stupid debate
Proof is never enough to stop a stupid debate!
One other point would be that by being in that offside position, Onana shades to that side of the goal in case the offside player were to receive a pass. If that player is NOT there, is Onana more central in the goal? Subjective decisions.
That happened before the shot though, didn't it? Offside is decided after the ball has left the foot. What happened before is not relevant.
