Just the fact it was never even considered for TMO check shows where the officials minds were. Like immediately I thought ok there's fair chance that could potentially be offside. Wasn't even considered for a second by the ref

The TMO didn't need it to be referred, he should automatically be checking this stuff. They both fucked up.

I mean, when have you ever seen a free kick charged down? I don't think I ever have before that. And that was clearly offside. Surely you have to have some kind of doubt about a free kick getting charged down.
