I thought he was onsideHemed's was clearly offside. Murphy's was fractional but probably correct.
Apart from when we did score.This won us a point as no way were we looking likely to score yesterday.
Just found this. Sorry, but he looked on-side to me at the time, and I reckon he was.

I've managed to capture the moment the ball is released by Knockaert here. I reckon Murphy is a foot onside, and even if that isn't the exact time it is released, I can't believe he's offside. Very tight, but ON-side for me:

Isn't it still based on any part of the body that can legally play the ball?
If so, then that image to me says that his feet may be just onside but his head is off side as he is going toward the goal and the defenders away. Infact on second look, I would say even his right foot is offisde
Really? To me his right foot looks level at worst! Defender is to the left of the D and his left foot is miles further inside the D than Murphy's.
Very harsh decision I think, but an easy one to get wrong in defence of the lino.

Is that the view from the POSH SEATS?
No.Isn’t there an unwritten understanding that there has to be daylight between the players?
I have long lost track of the offside rule as players seem to still be offside long after they originally strayed past the last man. But that aside, is there still an element of the rule that says the attacking player should receive the benefit of the doubt?

If there was a video replay for tight decisions the ref would have probably given the goal.
What I don't see is why the Rosenior shot was ruled offside in the second half. Kirkland spilled it, but even before that I can't see who was offside. It's probably the camera angle.

The Rosenior shot (itself) wasn't offiside (and would have counted had it gone in). 3 players were stood offside though, when he hit it, and were considered 'active' at the moment Kirkland spilled it. Kirkland was a lucky man - it was a shocking bit of keeping.
Its up to the lino to interpret each decision, ultimately, regardless.
