NBC analyst keep insisting he was not offside. I disagree.

He is clearly in an offside position and he is interfering with the defender making a play on the ball. I could he wrong but that is how it looked to me.

I think Mourinho needs to give a chit back to the anti-Chelsea movement because they got away with one here.

I don't think he was offside. No way Walker gets to that.

You won 5-3 against a team you never beat and you're starting a debate that your fellow fans won't even side with you on?

Heaven forbid we discuss actual soccer on a soccer board.

I don't care if anyone agrees with me or what the score ended up being. I want to get opinions on this call.

I thought it was offside others didn't. I'm ok with that.

The way I understood the rule is if you affect the play in an offside position, you call it but side refs don't seem to call it unless the player touches the ball. It didn't look like Costa touched the ball so in that regard, he wasn't.

I think if you're involved in the play and offside it should be called.

I don't think there would have been much of an argument if it was called offsides... just fell the other way this time..

What are you talking about? Mourinho would have run on the field after Dowd and Costa would have taken his head off.

What good does it do showing a picture after Hazard plays the ball?

That's the touch that matters.
