The PGMOL are considering their next move after receiving a formal request from Liverpool to release the audio conversation between match officials, talkSPORT understands.
The Reds are seeking full disclosure of the discussion between the VAR room and the on-field referee that resulted in Luis Diaz wrongly being adjudged to be in an offside position during Liverpool’s controversial defeat at Tottenham on Saturday.
One suggestion is to play the audio during tonight’s Monday Night Football TV show ahead of Fulham’s game with Chelsea.
The major flashpoint from Liverpool’s 2-1 loss saw Luis Diaz’s goal wrongly not get awarded a goal.
Diaz thought he had given his side a 1-0 lead, only for the assistant to raise his flag for offside.
After a quick VAR check, the game then restarted, although, the Colombia international was clearly onside as replays shown it should have stood.
Following the aftermath of the clash, the body responsible for refereeing professional games in England, the PGMOL, admitted they had made a mistake.
They blamed ‘significant human error’, and that the VAR team, involving Darren England and Dan Cook, told referee Simon Hooper the check was complete. England and Cook were later removed from their next scheduled Premier League outings.
Liverpool now want to get the audio conversations between the referee and VAR officials from the PGMOL.
Some feel Liverpool were also hard done by with Curtis Jones’ early red card, and the aftermath of the match shows the club are outraged.
A statement released on Monday night read: “We fully accept the pressures that match officials work under but these pressures are supposed to be alleviated, not exacerbated, by the existence and implementation of VAR.
“It is therefore unsatisfactory that sufficient time was not afforded to allow the correct decision to be made and that there was no subsequent intervention.
“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 is vital for the reliability of future decision-making as it applies to all clubs with learnings being used to make improvements to processes in order to ensure this kind of situation cannot occur again.
“In the meantime, we will explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution.
