You-Call-It #95

Question...

15 Blue is inside the PA running hard to the left corner of goal seeking a pass when his team mate shoots from the far right side. At the moment of the shot 15 Blue was unknowingly in a marginal offside position just in behind the 2nd last opponent. The keeper dives back along the face of goal to make a finger tip save but the shot is too powerful, he only deflects the ball across the face of goal curving into the left corner of the goal where our incoming PIOP #15 (UNAWARE he is a PIOP) was extending himself in what he thought was a glorious effort to score making a jumping slide effort to get a touch on the ball to ensure the ball completely gets across the goal line. He slides across the face of goal but arrives (a) too late, although his foot makes contact the ball has actually fully crossed the goal line under the crossbar between the posts or (b) he completely misses the ball and slides on by where the ball then 100% crosses the goal line. In all cases the ball is 100% over the goal line under the crossbar between the posts, just before his slide takes him into physical contact with the downed keeper. AR has Flag raised. Your decision?
