UK commentators criticising that offside call, but I think it was right. You can't have someone standing right next to the keeper but not interfering with play in some way.
you can argue that maignan is never getting there, but that's then giving the ref the duty to assess a subjective thing like whether he thinks the GK has the ability to save it, which would become a disaster really quickly.
Objectively Dumfries physically prevents Maignan from diving for the ball, and thus it's offside and the correct call, whether Maignan "could/would/should" have saved it is irrelevant.
Exactly.
