His arse was offside, what's the problem?

Where was the caution to Silva for delaying the restart for his 60 seconds of clapping fans and guard of honour?

Wonder if next season the substitute will be made to wait 60 seconds before coming on!

That's not the angle that shows why he was offside - which if you were watching the BBC coverage (as it seems you were) I suspect you know already.

Immediately before showing that image, they showed this one, which clearly demonstrates the reason for the decision.

Happened twice in the Liverpool vs Brentford game.
Salah going off first.
Then Robertson.
No guard of honour but with Salah especially it was clap all 4 sides. Stand and look up emotionally, kneel down and kiss the turf. Hug every player he could see...

It was ridiculous. Slowed the game massively with Brentford chasing a winner to attempt qualification to Europe.
10 minutes may have been added but momentum lost on both occasions.

Half-arsed effort.

Somewhat ironic that the thing he has been sitting on for most of the season got him offside

You have a wider interpretation of "clearly demonstrates" than I do. A cartoon bum hardly looks conclusive.

What happened to 5cm "tolerance" (tolerarse)?

The graphic should be after application of the 5 mm. So more of his posterior was actually OS.

People hat the close calls, but it doesn’t matter where lines are—there will always be calls close to that line. (Except in the MLS model, where no lines are used and the call on the field stands unless clearly wrong without using lines—which I still think is more in the original spirit of VAR than where we are today.)
