ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

exactly, is it/should it be the start of the contact with the ball or the end of the contact of the kicking the ball? there could be 1/5th to 1/3rd second between those two points, indistinguishable to the camera, captured on a number of frames, but in the mean time, the attacking player could move from anon side to an offside position. What do you want to prove? pick your start point and bingo, fixing is fixed.

It has to be from the moment the ball leaves the foot, it simply cant be anything else. You can roll a ball through with the bottom of your foot meaning that the attacking player could have moved several feet while you complete that action.
 
It's pretty straightforward, they took a frame too early for the VAR call. Mark Schwartzer who was summarising on 5 Live said it at the time. He said it was offside, watched the replay, said it was offside, then expressed his surprise that they'd given the goal, and that they'd taken the wrong frame on VAR. The question is if he can see that happen, how can Stockley Park make that mistake? It's a shockingly bad error and yet another example along with the "penalty" for Forest last night as to why nobody trusts VAR in the Premier League.
