It was offside and VAR is allowing for a bit margin of error now. This is a shit quality image unlike the better quality what VAR will see, plus the computer will say if the lines overlap. You can see there was a gap between the blue line (Young) and the thicker red line (Wilson).By the letter of the law, yes.
But that offside called against them is a case study of VAR ruining the game. Marginal at best
Give it or not...
Either way it hides the fact that they had one shot on target yesterday. That's the real talking point. Yet this is from a side (that according to them) has a quality attack in ASM, Willock and Wilson.
They're a bottom half side and have been for a while. I think deep down they know it but they don't accept it as long as there is an outside influence to blame, such as VAR, #premierleagueiscorrupt, Ashley, Bruce, Takeovers, the cartel....

It looks close due to the camera angle but swing this around to the linesman perspective and the gap will be inches. This is another camera angle and now look at positions of the leading feet against the grass line and also how far Wilson is leaning forward given it's the top half of him that's offside. Ings looks close simply because he's tall because if you took a line directly down from all 3 players shoulders, you'll see that Wilson is clearly further forward. The question is "where do you draw the line?" and the answer is no matter where you draw it there will always be close calls. I think the lines should be even thicker so it allows for stuff like this.
