Yeah I saw this image and wondered what I should be seeing that would make it a bad call. This is clearly offside, the rules of what body parts count have been the same for quite a while afaik. Before VAR this wouldn’t necessarily have been caught, but an alert linesman standing on the opposite sideline could also have seen his head poke out behind the defender and we’d congratulate him for catching it I think.
I’m confused, are people thinking this should have been onsides?
