Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has come out and blasted the VAR decision that saw Luis Diaz’s legitimate goal ruled out for offside.
The decision has become a talking point in particular because there were no lines drawn to deduce whether it was offside or not given that Diaz looked clearly onside. It was also strange that it took them only a few seconds to make the decision despite it being a tight call.
The decision has been widely slammed, not just by Liverpool fans, but across the footballing community.
And Van Dijk has become the latest player to slam the decision calling it ‘a bit strange’. He said (via @JoshLFC1909):
“I’m losing faith is difficult to say. The VAR should be absolutely clear and obvious with everything they’re deciding on. I’ve seen the still back, I think on live TV there were no lines being shown. It’s all a bit strange, I don’t know who was in the VAR room and making that decision. It’s not a good thing, it doesn’t look well either. It is what it is, we lost.”

The PGMOL have come out and given a statement admitting that it was a human error and that the decision was wrong.
Van Dijk is risking getting punished by the FA with his outspoken words against the referee’s decision hinting at something more than just a human error.
He has already been fined and banned this season by the FA after he was caught swearing at the fourth official against Newcastle.
Human error doesn’t cut it. I can’t see what is difficult about sticking lines across a pitch to judge off side.
I fully support refs, and acknowledge that in real time mistakes will happen, but with VAR, factual decisions should be easy. Let’s be honest, they usually take ages to come up with an answer. This took seconds.
Several bad decisions cost us the game.
PIGMOL says”it’s human error”.No! It’s the ”robbery” of the Year. WE can say the ”referee thieving” in PL. WE are going to STOP watching PL matchs in our TV because of corrupt of referees. They are destroying Premier League with a very bad job in Europa. To say ”error”, punish them. Replay the match Tottenham-Liverpool if you know it’s ”human error”.
Oh please mr.konan stop this replay nonsense, why should games be replayed when pool gets a raw deal, if it was the other way around and spurs had the raw deal then pool fan’s would have asked the referee to be inducted into FIFA’s hall of fame..all teams get rough deals, just move on..”cowboys never cries like Nancy boys”
That is clearly more then human error cause watching TV at home and see the angle that var is seeing it fr u can tell it wasn’t half side I’m not a ref. And I could see it wasn’t half side
REPLAY
. Corrupt of referees
Liveerpool never walk alone
I personally don’t think any team in the premium league should go through what just happened to liverpool with the Tottenham game mistakes like this that cost the team’s it should be looked into even with var how can the Ref’s make such mistakes plays get sent off baned for a couple games teams suffer what punishment do the Ref’s get we as demand answers
Why was the line not instigated I thought that was the whole idea of checking.it would have proved that he was onside.why was this omitted and just left to a guess which is totally wrong
4 players in 7 games sent off !!! There is an agenda of deception being perpetrated by those who do not like the fact that Liverpool and Man City are the leading lights in the Premier League and it has been proven before that corruption does exist. 4 players in 7 games sent off along with Kloop who has bent sent off twice in the past year !! Unbelievable!! 👺👺👺
Totally unacceptable by PGMOL.!! Replay at minimum.!!!
Ridiculous decisions costing loss of points could effect League finishing positions end of season, and determine European Cup qualifications ot not, costing clubs millions of £££ in prize money setting themselves up for success or failure the following season.
The red card for Curtis Jones also needs proper evaluation and corrective action taken.
The EFL is supposed to be the best and the strongest league in the world. Not on this showing sorry to say.!! It’s an embarrassment to say the least and unacceptable.
This match should be replayed at the PGMOL’s expense.!!
then why not replay all other games that’s questionable, if it was Tottenham getting the raw deal then pool supporters would have asked FIFA to present that referee with an “Oscar”
Give the points to Liverpool 2-2 end of story.
As a Liverpool, i don’t accept that…human error affecting LFC!!! EPL is been lowered by non-proffessional referees.
Human errors are tolerable and forgivable. But what the VAR and AVAR have committed are definitely “UNHUMAN ERROR”!!!
To me this is all about teaching us a lesson and harps back to Klopps run in with officials at Anfield last season. The actions seem to be part of an orchestrated, vindictive campaign to put us in our place.

Liverpool against the whole soccer world.could it b uefa,fa or epl it is against it.th same thing happened last ye against Arsenal & it end up cost it champion’s league place.evn thou th ref apologize later.th damage has already done. & this time again.last season FA appealed against the fine given 2 Klopp. if there’s fairness,they should also appeal again on an decision epl could take. 4 fairness,they should give that goal 2 Liverpool so they will share points.or they will compensate Liverpool by removing all red cards & yellow cards given during the match. Koz th ref & th league agrees that there was error during that game which affected Liverpool’s results of the game. & what happened on that game will affect them come end of the season..u will c.
