Liverpool ask PGMOL for VAR audio from Luis Diaz disallowed goal
The Liverpool - VAR saga regarding Luis Diaz's disallowed goal continues
Liverpool's match against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday was marred by a controversial decision to disallow a goal by Colombia forward Luis Diaz. The incident occurred in the first half of the match when Diaz appeared to have scored a legitimate goal, only for it to be ruled out for offside by the VAR officials.
The PGMOL earlier rendered an apology regarding the incident, stating that the decision to disallow Diaz's goal was a "clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR".
The Reds's frustration with the decision has now led to a formal request to the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) for access to the audio recording of the interactions between the VAR officials and the on-field referee.
Liverpool's request for the audio comes after the club issued a statement on Sunday evening, highlighting their concerns about the incident.
The Merseyside club believes that the decision to disallow Diaz's goal has "undermined sporting integrity".
By requesting access to the VAR audio, the Anfield club hopes to establish how and why the decision was made, and whether there were any errors in the communication between the VAR officials and the on-field referee.
The potential implications of obtaining VAR audio in such cases could be significant, as it could shed light on the decision-making process and potentially lead to improvements in the implementation of the VAR technology.
The controversy surrounding the incident has also raised questions about the role of referees and the implementation of VAR technology in football.
Liverpool fined by FA for ill-discipline
The FA's decision to fine Liverpool for illdiscipline
Liverpool have been fined £25,000 by the Football Association (FA) for ill-discipline in their recent match against Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool finished the match with nine players, with both Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota being sent off. In addition, the Reds players accumulated a total of five yellow cards during the match. These incidents have led to the FA's decision to fine the club for ill-discipline.
The FA have stated that the fine is a result of the Anfield club's failure to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the match. The FA has a set of rules that punish clubs who pick up six or more bookings in one match, with a £25,000 fine being the common punishment. The FA's decision to fine Liverpool is in line with these rules and serves as a reminder to all football clubs to ensure that their players maintain discipline on the field.
