What about the other 14 or so times over the past two seasons where PGMOL have issued apologies?? Nothing changed. Nothing will change again and the season will keep going. Regardless of your club allegiance this will keep happening to all of us. Some we will profit by and some we will feel hard done by. Sad state of the game currently.

That such failings have already been categorised as “significant human error” is also unacceptable. Any and all outcomes should be established only by the review and with full transparency.

This does seem like they’ve had enough of simply being apologised to.

Brighton are gonna have a tough game on their hands. Those refs are gonna be nice as hell to Liverpool.

Yay maybe this will finally be the start of the EPL doing something about its disgraceful refereeing

Are pool the softest team to ever exist? They have 1 (really) bad call go against them after years of preferential treatment and they do this. I’d be embarrassed.

Meaningful change should have happened last season after Skipp was left bleeding on the pitch due to a high boot by Jota (who later went on to score the winner in that match). Klopp’s reaction? Telling Ryan Mason to worry about something else rather than a missed call that helped undermine the sporting integrity.

VAR inserts human judgment where none is needed.

Offsides can be determined by sensor technology: Each player could be tagged for location, if the rules were to require comparison of, say, foot positions alone. Sensors in ball and boots could leave VAR “human error” behind: no lines to “interpret”; no worry for angles. It works for goal line tech. Should be doable for offsides.

At this point, what’s the real point in continuing with VAR at all? Before it’s inclusion in the game, we could yell at the screen, point at the replays and complain that your team got short-changed because an official made a mistake. Now, WITH VAR we’re doing the exact same thing, but with more stoppages

Now this is my kind of statement.

Fingers crossed every club rallies behind this. We really can’t let it continue like this.

i just wonder if there would have been this much discussion if say chelsea or city faced what liverpool faced.

i think PL wouldnt care much and people would be completely okay and actively laughing if those teams lost.

Great statement, bring the fire gents

They probably weren’t arsy when Wolves’ goal was wrongly disallowed for offside in the FA cup because they couldn’t find the correct angle, they can keep crying for what I care of course they also fail to mention that their goal came from the refereeing wrongfully awarding them a free kick

What’s the solution that Liverpool is looking for? Competent reffing? Get real!

The thing that makes this totally unacceptable for me is after the initial mistake when the VAR team think the goal has been given, which is bad enough, is the fact they say nothing to the ref when Spurs are given a free kick and are not kicking off from the centre circle.

That obviously shows the goal hadn’t been given, what were they doing? Clearly not looking at the screen. It’s embarrassingly bad.

Take them to court, so ridiculous that an error like that can take place in the highest professional football league in the world.
