The evidence is in the laws of the game ...You could roll that forward 4 or 5 frames and Martial would still be in possession of that ball.
Where is the evidence that it's always the first point at which which tha ball is touched, because I've seen lines drawn when there has been daylight between ball and player in order that it looks off when it (probably) wasn't?
Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate....
*The first point of contact of the 'play' or 'touch' of the ball should be used
It's a major bug bear of mine regarding offsides and, as I said in my post, it doesn't always seem to be applied consistently as we often see lines drawn where the image of the ball is smudged, therefore moving, therefore AFTER the first point of contact (which is unforgivable given the number of frames that could be selected from); but the rule is as stated above.
