In reply to: Someone should remind Arsene what the offiside rules are posted by htownnd

Was Sane offside on the first goal? Possibly, but no camera angle shows the angle that the AR had on the touchline. And if there is ANY doubt, the flag should not be raised. Period. His arm was clearly off, but that isn't relevant. Was his foot? That is questionable at best.

The second could be argued as offside in lower levels of soccer if the keeper was clearly distracted by the player lunging at the ball, but at that level, no. His line of sight was not blocked and while an attempt was made to play the ball, it does not necessarily indicate an impact on the run of play.

        I think missed offsides calls can be even more important... - ndroman21 2016-12-22 12:30:22
