so is offside deemed as any part of the body, if so then that's ridiculous, it should be ruled on the relevant position of the hips to the defender.
And start of the season, we got told that linesmen are not going to raise the flag if it was very close. The var is going to check the goal later.
What I am seeing is that VAR take into consideration what the refs decision was. If it is really close then they stick with the refs decision.
So in that sense if linesmen did their job, and not raise the flag. Ref didn't have given it offside and VAR would have allowed the goal to stay.
