A Lino has to have one eye on the ball as it is kicked, and the other eye on players being potentially offside. It is often physically impossible for a normal human being to do that. Maybe someone like Marty Feldman would be more physically capable.[/quoteWhen being trained as a referee you are taught to look for the offside and listen to hear when the ball is kicked.

As a rule, the linesmen usually get these calls right. There was one late on Saturday, where they gave Ironside offside when he was clearly a yard and a half onside. I thought so. Our kid thought so. People around us thought so. Bloke on the way out said it was the worst decision he'd seen all season.Except...when I went and looked at the iFollow video, he WAS actually offside.As DBR says, it does look like the linesman got it right last night.Top level linesmen are ridiculously good these days. There are no ‘top level linesmen’ at this level neither are there any top level referees.So unless you’re being sarcastic I assume you’re talking about ‘some’ linesmen (women), at European & World competition level?

For me, it’s still onside. If you were being really picky, you’d say he was level with2 other defenders at the time of the cross, but level is onside!When he actually shoots and scores, there’s 2 players on the goal line!
