Marginal offside is still offside. That's why the technology exists...

Backstop in reply to @Zebra

Except offside is difficult to measure, when the discrepancy is smaller than the measurement uncertainty then you can't know if it's offside. Therefore marginal calls cannot ultimately be decided by either linesman or VAR. So let's stop fucking around with all the negatives given the impossibility of having a perfect system.

what uncertainty? It was called, there is no uncertainty.

Look, I'm a Sporting fan but if it was the other way around you'd be saying the same. If you know it's offside, call the offside. It doesn't matter if it's 1m or 1mm, if we have the means to calculate it, call it. Simple as that.
