Tottenham news as PGMOL issues a harsh referee call following an offside error in response to the Liverpool VAR decision.
Darren After his mistake resulted in Luis Diaz’s goal against Tottenham being ruled invalid, speculations suggest that England may boycott Liverpool games. At Stockley Park during the game, England and assistant VAR Dan Cook both failed to appropriately overturn the offside call.
After a brief review of Diaz’s goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night, England was the one to make the now-famous ‘check complete’ call. After play quickly resumed following the VAR ruling, he, Cook, match referee Simon Hooper, and fourth official Michael Oliver were unable to reach the proper conclusion.
Tuesday night saw the release of the audio between the referees, which revealed a dreadful state of affairs for PGMOL because England mistakenly believed the on-field call had been onside, leading to his perplexing call. Now that Jurgen Klopp has led a growing group of supporters in demanding a repeat of the game due to the error, Liverpool games won’t likely be played in England again.
In addition to being removed from duty for any games this weekend, The Telegraph reports that England and Cook are no longer anticipated to serve as matchday officials or on VAR for games involving the Reds. According to reports, both officials are still expected to keep their positions, and new chief refereeing officer Howard Webb continues to have faith in them.
Following the continued focus on officiating standards and judgements on a nearly daily basis, Webb has taken on a hilarious quality. The former Premier League referee has made an effort to move away from Mike Riley’s strategy of barring individual officials from games involving particular clubs, but it is still perceived as unfair.
