Everyone thought when they heard Ollie being mentioned that they were talking to Michael Oliver because he was the 4th official at the game, however Ollie was the guy who was operating the Editor Replay ...

In this critical moment, one person is urgently calling for action, repeatedly emphasizing "delay, delay," while another individual tasked with the same responsibility seems to be moving in slow motion, remaining eerily silent when swift responses and actions are desperately needed. This stark contrast in behavior raises unsettling suspicions of corruption in my perception.

I'm not convinced the conspiracy goes away- firstly this audio actually indicates differently to what PGMOL officials said about what happened before the release(check the BBC transcripts). It seems to me that the VAR Darren England saw the lines, and said 'check complete, off'. Why does he say 'off'? It's certainly not a Comms sign off I heard of (eg over/out). Secondly the replay operator did say the on field decision was offside and then says 'are you happy with this?' VAR replies 'yeah'. After the replay operator asks if he's sure the VAR assistant says 'yeah, offside, goal. That's not right Daz'. If these VAR officials were so distracted by the replay video that they did not pay attention to the live pitch, then how are they still calling the footage offside? Something seems very off here, and I'm sure this warrants further investigation into the individuals...

Not only should audio always be available as it is in rugby but there also needs to be a coaches/captains challenge that can be used once a game as they do in the NFL and cricket. They looked at the Dan burns Newcastle goal for 5 minutes last night. If it’s going to be subjective how long VAR decides to analyse an incident, then a team should be able to challenge that in some way.

The assistant ref putting his flag up early has bugger all to do with the error, if anything it should have helped them get the right decision since that would have made it more likely the VAR team would think offside had been called.

Or simply “GOAL” or “OFFSIDE”

Can someone explain to me what is Danny Murphy going on about. He said the linesman raised his flag straight away. There is no video evidence of this. The linesman can be heard saying "delaying, delaying. Going back for the offside" He never raised his flag until the goal was scored. He was 100% correct in his procedure!

On the semi-automatic offsides, my understanding was the clubs rejected it under advise from the PGMOL, not sure what the PGMOL said to the clubs but I'd imagine the clubs would probably be led by the advice of trained professionals in this field rather than their personal feelings about it. It'll be in next season no doubt.

Danny made a great point about the lines man who is getting away with it

Rather than just saying check complete why dont the also say what the decision is so this case they would have said check complete goal stands, then there is no confusion.

Here's an idea. Instead of VAR (which is a referee) saying "check complete" as a message to the pitch referee after a video review, why don't they say "goal" or "offside"? It's far more definitive for the officials on the pitch irrespective of what the officials had whistled on the pitch prior to the video review.

Not stopping the game after the restart and simply showing the images proving the player was onside in the stadium on the video monitors is insane. Easy fix, would have been accepted, all they had to do is say they made a mistake, which they realized immediately.

Surely this could easily be sorted if the protocol was that the VAR`s final message to the onfield officials was along the lines of, "Check complete, legitimate goal", "Check complete, Offside", "Check complet, handball" etc. Takes away any ambiguity. It just seems so easy to resolve, or am I missing something?

IS no one noticing the change in frame or pause on 49/50seconds. the speech flicks to a different time frame. something is missing!!!

Think the weekend VAR scandal showed quantum physics in play. The passage of play was offside while also not being offside - It existed in both states at the same time...Schrodinger's offside law?

The problem is just saying, 'Check complete'. It needs to be more specific. Saying 'Onside, the goal should stand' is much more precise and helpful.

Jim's changed his tune on this one. Was saying the other day they shouldn't have stopped the game

Jim White is getting more annoying, he always takes the argumentative stance, his argument about semi auto offside lines is completely irrelevant to the mistake that was made, the mistake was they didn't pull it back when they should have after the goal was disallowed semi auto lines won't change that because the var will still have said onside and the ref would still have said no goal, the issue is with the fact they didn't right the wrong

semi-automated brings up the decision 10 times quicker to them. Without the neeed for manually drawing lines and checking it. It would make the whole process smoother from the beginning. However yes the language they use is the problem here. Why are they not saying it clearly - Ref "check for offside please". VAR "onside and its a goal". Simple

Suprised they can’t understand semi automatic. It would if worked as linesman wouldn’t of raised flag and it would just be given as onside or offside by the VAR as opposed to check complete

Its a totally different subject (and much less trivial of course) but it reminds me of aircraft ; the automation is perfect but its the implementation and understanding by the pilots that can lead to disasters. The answer in aviation is more and better training for the pilots and perhaps a refresher course on how the VARs need to be paying attention to what is happening on the pitch at all times wouldnt go amiss.

Don't think this should be dismissed as incompetence when it stinks of a fix still - the audio is incriminating if anything, not reassuring.

People don't know anything about the problem and why a replay match must be held, so I'll explain why. It's not about judgement of red card, handball or something like that, in which referee's judgement is involved and can be controversial, but by referee's call, it's decided. In this VAR case, VAR referee, who was in charge of the judgement of onside or offside, called it was onside, which means a goal, but the goal was disallowed. You know, when it comes to red card or handball, the on-field referee sometimes checks the video himself, which is the on-field check, but when it comes to onside or offside, the on field referee doesn't check it. Why not? Onside or offside is just a technical issue without human judgement involved. Just draw a line and you see. If it's onside, onside. If it's offside, offside. No human judgement involved at all like the goal line system. You guys know about the goal line system, right? It alarms the referee that it's a goal when the ball crosses the goal line. It's the totally same situation as when the goal line system calls that it's a goal but the referee disallows the goal. Can you accept it?

So called pundits who think they know everything. I'd love to see how they'd fair officiating instead of sitting in their comfy pundit jobs taking the ££s

As soon as the lines are drawn I thought I heard somebody say "Ah its off". Then Darren England says "Check complete, perfect" immediately after that. Then as they presumably watch the free kick being taken the video tech says "Wait wait the on field decison was offside, are you happy with this?" Then we hear someone say "Yeah". Then the confused tech "Are you happy with this, the image we have given you is on side" Are we sure VAR and AVAR didn't get the decision wrong initially?

'Check complete' does not cut it.

How did Darren England not know or hear what he should check in the VAR room, when on field referee Simon Hooper mentions Offside at the beginning of the audio link talk, and on the big screen it's written "Checking DISALLOWED Goal - Offside" VAR?!

"Onfield decision offside. Onfield decision offside" "VAR decision goal. VAR decision goal" Solved it for them

Why nobody listens to Oliiiiiiiiii???

Do you think they should lokk at the Rugby TMOs how they communicate with on feild decisions?

Darren England is to blame as you can hear him rush the check and then brush off the error after the assistant brings it to his attention. All they need to do is follow up the "Check complete" with "Play was onside/offside" and the on-field ref can make a ruling based on that response.

It was 1 voice saying stop the game and he wasn't even there to do that 😂 he was a video technician Clowns

Dannys had enough😂

He wants justice for football. He was a footballer.

So the lines man lowkey messed it up but they also weren’t paying full attention so it’s just a collection of errors from all involved

This wasn't "human error". It was England and Cook were obviously NOT watching the game. The PL is afraid of the PGMOL.

It’s clear as day light that the officials knew the initial call was offside… why is the media not reporting on this? The mistake has occurred in the miscommunication of not clearly relaying the message it’s onside back to the referee!

It seems one of them didnt know that. It seems they reviewed it as onside and used confusing muffled words like they were treading water. Fire them. I feel sorry for the referee. But i wish he stopped the game and asked Spurs to let Liverpool walk the ball in. It was the morally right thing to do after he restarted

Will be able to ref games in UAE and get paid 50k per game, so they couldn't care less if they are fired.

@@ljs185 if what your assuming is right… how could one of them then turn into all of them interpreting it as onside? This difference in interpretation would have been heard and corrected on the audio. They all knew it was called offside but I agree with the sympathy towards the ref… he probs would’ve delayed had he not heard on the mic that play can’t be restarted as communicated by Var (Darren England) and his assistant (Dan Cook)! They’re the culprits!

@@Hawkins123 the linesman made the wrong call but put his flag up at the correct time. He let the phase of play continue. The issue is the 2 VAR assistants didn’t see the linesman put his flag up at all so when they said check complete they meant the goal should stand, where as the linesman and ref thought they meant their decision was right 😂

How simple and easy would it be for the protocol to be that VAR operator ends with confirming their decision eg Confirmed Onside, Confirmed Handball, Confirmed whatever.... then this mix up can't happen.

The linesmen flagging raised his flag almost straight away he was in line with it how can he not see it was on side

What part of Oli saying to delay the game they did not hear ? Over and over again and we never heard of any issues with microphones or headset

I've been banging on about the semi automated offside technology for a while now. Most VAR decisions revolve around offside, so you are immediately taking away unnecessary pressure from the officials. Think about it, when was the last time we had an uproar on whether the ball crossed the goal line. It's a no brainer.

Check what was on the screen. Checking disallowed goal. The VAR cannot say he did not know the ref blew offside.

The worse part is everyone is missing the fact that when they say check complete you hear the ref say off and blows his whistle how on earth does VAR miss the ref say off? Then what happens after is a mess

Even in park football, you are trained to bring the play back if for example you blew for an indirect but it is direct. All good referees, have enough about them to pull the play back if they know it is wrong. The players also appreciate when a referee does that as it shows they're placing importance on the game. In general, there were alot of wrong decisions that affected Liverpool .. enough for a replay.

They got it right at the women’s World Cup - the VAR communication to the ref was along the lines of ‘the player was offside, no goal’ or ‘there was a handball, penalty is the correct decision’ or ‘no foul, you may give the goal’ (and not just an ambiguous ‘check complete’) And this was broadcast to the crowd and TV in real time.

With hawkeye and semi-automatic offside technology they still need to make sure that the VAR team can overrule it if they see it is wrong. As they point out semi-automatic offside technology would still rely on the VAR team telling the ref the right thing. To avoid this the VAR team need to clearly tell the ref what they have concluded "Check Complete - Player ONSIDE award goal" the ref should then have to repeat that back to VAR team. It is stupid that in this case the officials are not able to stop the game and correct the mistake. Instead you have Darren England operating VAR for rest of game in knowledge that he could be out of job after the final whistle.

It sounded like he was out side running arc the start of the audio

Wouldn't auto offside still get relayed from var to ref? That was the issue not if it was on or off they got that right

Danny its only semi automated because the decision to determine if someone is offside still remains with the ref as some subjective offside calls exist. Ie interfering with play. It immediately tells the players closest to goal for each team. All the mistakes of selecting the wrong last man from last season wont exist.

One of the first parts of audio says ‘give it’ (from linesman/ref) so assume give goal then another piece of idea says ‘offside’ so VAR and saying goal is OK from the audio but actual check is offside - how can this be such a mess when so straightforward

Only Ref who game out well here is Michael Oliver who was 4th official and was paying more attention than the rest and would have made the right call if he was the guy in charge

Simon, can you please congratulate Liverpool for demanding audio and for standing up for what is right for all Teams

Howz about fully automatic ??

Been waiting to hear Danny

I've just watched the highlights again. Danny is making up his initial point about the linesman. He says the Assistant Referee raised his flag straight away and did not wait as he is supposed to. WRONG. Watch it again. The flag goes up AFTER the goal. That's also why you hear him say "holding, holding, holding."

Oh my goodness. 😮

If VAR officials made a mistake by saying Diaz was offside then Klopp wouldn't have asked for a replay even though he would have gone crazy. The fact that it was an administrative error that disallowed a perfectly good goal is the issue. It's the same as if the officials miscounted the score or a similar mistake hence why the need for a replay

Not at any point did anyone says the goal stands. That would have cleared everything. The goal stands or not. Simples.

Who is it that said checking possible offside while they were saying both holding

A simple solution is for the VAR to specify a standard statement after each decision/review. e.g The VAR had decided opposition have scored a goal

Even the audio is very confusing Because I can hear someone drawing lines and stating they're drawing lines so why would they be checking if they thought it was going to be a goal
