Isn't it the blue line that lines up with the forward most body part for each player? The knee for the defender and Wood's head, the yellow line takes into account the angle of the camera/pitch to compare the relative positions. The issue for me in this is still the margin of error though, given that if the defender was standing in a natural position with no player ahead of him, his foot would be in a position to put Wood onside. On-field decision should have been used.

Damn shame too as it was a freaking sumptuous goal.

Yeah true, guess that makes more sense. The blue line is still so hard to trust! Haha

Considering the offside toe in the Spurs v Sheffield game, and here we can't see the whole defending player - it is inconclusive

Yeah true, guess that makes more sense. Even though the blue line is not parallel to the pitch lines, it doesn't have to be because of the angle of the camera view etc?
