** Had to add this it seems.
Obviously the Tims are not offside until the ball is kicked. But they are in offside positions for 14 seconds. As others pointed out, it should make it an easy decision. The only thing that could make it easier for the linesman would be a real time virtual reality VAR headset. Even then I doubt he'd get it right.

Going back watching this, the Tims goalscorer was offside for over 14 seconds.
By the time it's taken all 3 Tims have been offside for 7 seconds.
Once in an offside position none of them were ever onside again.
At the delivery Willow Collum is looking at the line, not the delivery. Was he relying on the useless linesman to make the offside call? Could he not see the 3 players offside for the near 6 seconds he was looking directly at them?
I get close calls. The penalty call at the Sheep happened in the blink of an eye. This didn't. The linesman never noticed three players just hanging about in an offside position for this long?
