These claims of offside for their 3rd...

Not sure what you've been smoking. The lad's comfortably onside - by a couple of yards. Williams playing him on.

 

I haven't seen an angle that shows all the players at the time the ball was kicked.

 

There's only one angle and it does show it. If I could attach photos, I'd post it here.

 

Here you go

 

Still not conclusive from that angle, but I'd say I'm 80% sure that's onside.

 

I hope you're being sarcastic!! That's clear as day

 

I think TM was right, Williams was shitfaced

 

Well he must have been shitfaced last match as well.

 

It looked onside each time I saw it on the national news this morning….

 

No it's not that clear. It's difficult to assume a line with that angle. If the lino is in line with the last man (which he should be) then it is a very close call.

 

Nope

 

You can draw a line between the 2 defenders' feet and he's behind it

 

I might be barking up the completely wrong tree here but the columns of seats in the east stand are perpendicular to the pitch right? As in A10, B10, C10 etc line up with each other at right angles to the pitch.
If we accept that then this crudely drawn line gives a rough indication of what the line across the pitch is I think?

 

Just seen that goal, what on earth was Williams doing!?? Just casually strolling back

 

You're not allowing for the pitch of the seats. Your line would be right if the whole stand was at ground level.

 

Told you might be barking up the wrong tree

 

Thank you. Was just going to say the same. Perspective eh!

 

Blatant offside.

 

They are perpendicular to the pitch but they're not flat, so you can't use them like that.

The easiest way to do it is to draw a line between the defenders' feet. There's no way a player behind that line can be offside.
