Liverpool expresses frustration over VAR Error, calls for transparency and resolution

Posted : 02 October 2023
Liverpool has expressed their dissatisfaction with the VAR error that occurred during their Premier League match against Tottenham, stating that it has undermined "sporting integrity." The error involved the disallowance of a Luis Diaz goal for offside, which VAR failed to overturn despite clear evidence to the contrary.

The club has declared its intention to explore various options to address the situation and seek resolution. They believe that the need for escalation and transparency is evident in this case.

The governing body for referees, PGMOL, has acknowledged the error, describing it as a "significant human error." VAR officials Darren England and Dan Cook were taken off duty for the rest of the weekend as a result.

Liverpool has found the PGMOL's explanation unacceptable and has called for a review of the incident with full transparency. They argue that the disallowed goal had a significant impact on the match's outcome.

The controversy surrounding the disallowed goal was heightened by the fact that Liverpool was already down to ten men following Curtis Jones' controversial red card, which also involved VAR intervention.

While the correct procedure was followed, it was a lapse of concentration that led to the error. The lines were drawn correctly, and all other aspects were checked, but a failure to intervene when necessary resulted in the disallowed goal.

PGMOL's statement reiterated that the VAR should have intervened in this clear and obvious factual error, ultimately leading to the goal being awarded. The incident has prompted discussions between Liverpool and referees' chief Howard Webb.

The club's stance highlights the importance of VAR accuracy and its impact on the integrity of the sport.
