You are Howard WebbIt’s tight, but Bobb’s foot is slightly offside. The cameras used to judge offside are calibrated, unlike taking a photo off a TV screen, so they are probably more accurate.

The lines are parallel to the 6 yard line. There’s no conspiracy in this one.You are Howard Webb

I see both players toes on line on that blurred pixel and those lines are not parallel .It’s tight, but Bobb’s foot is slightly offside. The cameras used to judge offside are calibrated, unlike taking a photo off a TV screen, so they are probably more accurate.

Okay.I see both players toes on line on that blurred pixel and those lines are not parallel .
Took a picture from the tv of the frame showing offside with the lines drawn by VAR
The blue line goes through the defender’s ankle joint and the red line BEYOND Bob’s toes.
If the lines were drawn correctly they would at least overlap!!! It’s embarrassingly obvious.
Have tried to upload the image but the server says file too big.
The tv angle is wrong

The bigger problem is that the ball will have stayed in contact with Bernardo’s foot for maybe a quarter of a second while he was playing the ball. they are supposed to judge whether Bobb is offside when Bernardo’s foot first makes contact with the ball, which is probably a frame before. Maybe two, because the ball is just about leaving his foot there.It’s tight, but Bobb’s foot is slightly offside.

Bobb may have been offside, but this picture does not show that he was

It doesn’t show he wasn’t either though and the call on field was offside.The bigger problem is that the ball will have stayed in contact with Bernardo’s foot for maybe a quarter of a second while he was playing the ball. they are supposed to judge whether Bobb is offside when Bernardo’s foot first makes contact with the ball, which is probably a frame before.

As you suggest, determining the exact point of contact is impossible, so your version is just as valid as the one in the picture.

I should have said He looked like he was having a word with the official after the game about that challenge and booking.That was when Pep got the yellow card.
