Not according to Twitter, who are pointing out that he’s onside because there was a defender behind himThe one thing I was sure of was his offside position
It's the Konate touch that needs to be scrutinsed.Does that reset offside though? They're attempted blocks/saves?
Damn autocorrect…Benzema 100% offside position.
It's the Konate touch that needs to be scrutinsed.
Is that a save? Was the ball going into or close to the goal? Or is that a deliberate play, thus resetting offside?
I'm genuinely unsure what the right answer is here, either can be justified
Need an official explanation
No, no, no, a thousand times NO!!! That’s not how VAR works. The VAR only recommends the R review if the VAR concludes the re was a clear and obvious error.. Think ref should have been sent over to decide for himself
Agree with this, I’m unsure too. Maybe the backpass law is relevant as a precedent for a tackle not being a deliberate act - but of course he clearly is onside if Valverde doesn’t touch the ball.I'm genuinely unsure what the right answer is here, either can be justified

With the current interpretation of the law, inclined to think it wouldn’t have been given as a backpass - so potentially a reason to call it offside. Like I said though, genuinely not sure.
Interesting implication of this is that an attacker can play the ball backwards, then have it blocked/tackled forwards into the path of a striker, who would then be given offside.
And I believed there was a clear and obvious error therefore the ref should have been sent over to the monitor. Let’s calm down with bolding things lmaoNo, no, no, a thousand times NO!!!

that’s not what you wrote.And I believed there was a clear and obvious error
that’s not what you wrote.

Walton has tried clearing it up saying it’s actually “quite easy” but I disagree. Think ref should have been sent over to decide for himself
If I’m suggesting the ref needs to look at the monitor surely that means I believe it’s a C and O error. Won’t devolve this any further into an argument, just wasn’t sure your post was neccesary as there wasn’t much other way to interpret my post in my opinionDuh. I know exactly what you wrote. And it isn’t remotely the same thing as saying it was a C&O error, which is why I wrote what I did. Totally done with this.
