The Premier League have announced a major change to VAR protocol ahead of this weekend’s games in order to avoid another calamity after Liverpool’s game against Tottenham last week.
The PGMOL and VAR have come under heavy criticism this past week after a ‘significant human error’ cost Liverpool an opening goal in their 2-1 loss to Spurs last Saturday evening.
Luis Diaz had his first-half opener incorrectly ruled out for offside due to a communication error between the VAR official and referee.
The PGMOL released a statement shortly after full-time apologising to Jurgen Klopp’s side for the mistake with Liverpool following up with a formal request for the raw audio files.
In order to avoid any future such incidents, the PGMOL has announced that it will be changing the VAR protocol.
From now on, the VAR official must confirm his decision with his assistant before relaying it to the on-field referee.
In Klopp’s press conference on Thursday, he stated that a replay of the game would be a good resolution but that it would never happen.
“It’s important we really deal with it in a proper way. I mean all of the people involved, the referee, linesman, fourth official and VAR – they didn’t do it on purpose. Yes it was a mistake, an obvious mistake.
“I say this not as manager of Liverpool but as a football person – I think the only outcome should be a replay. Probably will not happen.”
If it was Man U or Man City , they would get a replay…..Liverpool?…no chance!….they’re all clambering to plug the hole at premier league headquarters…. but yet….do nothing over the injustice dealt to Liverpool fc….I’m sorry to say that a “sorry”….offered…. is not accepted….it has to be a replay I’m afraid….or it’s off to the high court we go.
Dream fool. Game ended will never be replayed/rematched. How do you get the audacity to mention Man utd in this? Obviously man utd is another club succumbed by VAR this season but we never complain.
What are you smoking? United succumbed to VAR? Wolves should’ve had a penalty when Onana clotheslined a wolves player, not given. Then Notts Forest had a man sent off wrongly. How can you possibly claim United are victims.
Do you mean the penalty that Wolves should have had?
You got a penalty after the final whistle and the game had ended against Brighton. Most of the players had walked off the pitch. How is that not VAR working for Utd🤔
Just like the ref gave united a penalty after blowing the final whistle txs to VAR!!!!
Who’s Man Utd. And who’s Mash. Nowt to do with you. By the way your getting beat again. L
NEVER COMPLAIN? they do nothing but complain and call LFC LiVARpool.
Seems as if you can’t spell its liVERpool get it right or go back to school
Mush
Your team is badly done to because your down on your usual form.
Liverpool v Tottenham is something that’s happened that might change things in football VAR like getting proper people to operate the VAR system instead of the people who haven’t got a clue..
We have seen several mistakes over time and debates over
You don’t have to necessarily point out teams and if you recall the season when you won the league, the Liverpool’s game vs wolves
Ask yourself if that happens in future tense will they will to be playing replays
Think how many clubs have been affected
You aren’t the only one
Long term solution is the best
mesh you mancs complained for 2 week over a goal where the ball was out of play.
It has to be a REPLAY or there will be no justice served to Liverpool.
VAR has begun to make very costly blunders.
Don’t think they could give them the replay as if they do then the doors will open up fir all the other teams ie how many times did it happen to Arsenal and others?
For Liverpool to get a replay it’s not going to happen as the game was started again and also the FA would also have to cancel the 2 sending offs that Liverpool got as well.
Can you Please support your claim that if it was Utd or City they would get a replay with hard evidence of when a game was replayed because of a VAR mistake, of course you can’t can you because it has never happened?
Here we go with the Liverpool fans playing the victim again. Most teams have had bad decisions go against them and also benefited from bad decisions. This includes Liverpool . I doubt that either Man U or City in fact any other club would be crying “it’s not fair we want a replay.
The match can’t be replayed in any fair way. What happens with the players that were sent off. They can’t play again and then have to leave the field, at the same times they were originally dismissed. As such that would be a farcical situation. There have been many similar mistakes made in matches, and the clubs have had to accept the situation. Why should this particular case be treated any differently after the event?
Did City get a replay after the worst VAR decision of all time at Old Trafford last season? No they didn’t, so your statement is about as water tight as a sieve.
What VAR decision was that!
Give Liverpool the goal,result 2 -2 move on
Haha, off you go then. By the way get your facts right. United have had decisions for and against this season just like you have. Typical LiVARpool always whinging
Spoken like a true Liverpool fan, they say nothing when the decision goes their way but cry like spoiled brats when it doesn’t. I would bet that Liverpool has had more var decisions in their favour than against, but just like their manager the fans are never happy, if Liverpool won a game 10-0 they would still complain
I think I’ll take that bet, easy money! Kerching!
I don’t think they complained when they won 7-0 last season
Well said I totally agree
If it was man utd or man city, or any other team than liverpool this wouldn’t be being talked about as much. This would’ve been the main talking point on sunday morning and then nothing. It doesn’t have to be a replay at all, and if the game does get replayed then every team that as every had a var decision go against them will have grounds to force a replay.
Absolutely couldn’t have happened to a better team. The best thing liverpool could’ve done is picked themselves up and gone and won there next match, they didn’t. Get over it and move on.
You live in dreamland!
they shouldnt even ban,fine or tackle any lvpl player or stuff bse VAR spoilt everythg. Let FA and VRA jst leave change protocal bse they lose nothing after all its over, no reply n they were on spurs side.
No replay!!! Game ended will never be replayed/ rematched. Every human has errors they’re not machines
Dream fool. Game ended will never be replayed/rematched. How do you get the audacity to mention Man utd in this? Obviously man utd is another club succumbed by VAR this season but we never complain.
For me there’s only 1(one) solution, give our goal, update the PL table and move on. If they can deduct points, they CAN add points!
It has to be a REPLAY or there will be no justice served to Liverpool.
VAR has begun to make very costly blunders.
Nothing wrong with VAR other sports it works you have to look at the operators !!! Employed They are load of Clowns being well payed VAR was introduced to cover the poor quality of referees now the same refs are operating the VAR what can any of us Expect
It’s not VAR it’s the poor quality operator s the same Lott we’re poor POOR as on field Refs nothing changes
Just award the goal j
SPURS STANDINGS IN LGE AT THE MO AFFECTS ASTON VILLA AND BRIGHTON, WHO ARE PUSHING UP THE LEAGUE, SO TO MY MIND IT’S ONLY FAIR TO ALL “REPLAY” IS ONLY OUT COME
Ask Wolves or Forest then
I do not believe it was a human error, it is a neglect, the question is what is the VAR doing when the linesman raised the flag , no one raised this question or answered, to call it a human error is a scapegoat
Once more we hear how LiVARpool were wronged but they conveniently forget the 9 points they got last season as a direct result of VAR errors so should we suspend their European participation until those games are replayed ! Grow up and mive along ffs
For Liverpool to get a replay it’s not going to happen as the game was started again and also the FA would also have to cancel the 2 sending offs that Liverpool got as well.
To err is human: To forgive is devine!
To err is human: To forgive is devine!
This has happened and we move on but may raise its head again in May if we miss out by a point or 2 winning the league then the shit will hit the fan again.
good
Very badly needed , so many have said that VARspoils football, I we’ve got to have it let’s do it right
Just a small observation, (don’t know if anyone already wrote this somewhere)
When a goal is scored, play is always resumed from the centre of the pitch, so when the VAR people said “check complete”, meaning its a goal (as they said) should they have not realized straight away that the game was about to restart way down in Spurs’s half ??????????????, then stop the game and ask the ref why the game is not restarting from the centre, but NO none of this,, this all smells very FISHY,
We have to reply the game
14th Jan 2023. The law was then changed after that.
Why don’t they do the same as Rugby League where the result of the VAR is displayed on the big screen inside the stadium.
All of these comments from supporters of other teams , is like to hear what they would say at the end of the season of Spurs won the league by 1 point, and the VAR had robbed either City , United or Arsenal of the title. Then I bet they would agree with Mr Klopp
What will everyone say if Spurs win the league by one or two points and the runners up are Liverpool, Citeh, Arsenal, Manure Utd, Brighton or someone else. It will be an interesting conversation then.
