Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) have released the full audio footage of Luis Diaz’s disallowed Liverpool goal on Saturday. The Colombian’s tidy strike was wrongly chalked off, with VAR Darren England and assistant VAR Dan Cook quick to realise their mistake, but seemingly powerless to do anything about it.<\/p>\n
England and Cook have been stood down from this weekend’s forthcoming round of Premier League fixtures, with PGMOL bearing the brunt of fierce backlash since the decision to disallow Diaz’s strike for offside. Liverpool went on to lose the game 2-1, with Tottenham’s stoppage-time winner deciding the contest.<\/p>\n
The refereeing body apologised for the ‘significant human error’, and while pondering whether to make the VAR deliberation footage public, Liverpool released an angry statement branding PGMOL’s explanation ‘unaccapteable’.<\/p>\n
Of the transcripted audio footage below, on-field referee Simon Hooper can only hear the comments directed towards him. PGMOL claim to have undertaken a ‘full review’ and sought out measures to avoid similar incidents occurring in future.<\/p>\n
The full transcript is as follows…<\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> Newcastle without five key players vs PSG as Eddie Howe confirms setback<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Linesman: “All good, both holding, waiting, delaying, delaying… Coming back for the offside, mate.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “Just checking the offside.

Just get a tight angle.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “Yeah, give me a 2D line ready after this one for frame two after that. That’s fine. Perfect, yeah. 2D line on the left boot.”<\/p>\n Replay Operator: “Let me just switch angles.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “[Cristian] Romero, I think it is?”<\/p>\n Replay Operator: “I think it might be this angle better? Happy with this angle?”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “Yep.”<\/p>\n Replay Operator: “2D line on the boot?”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “2D line on the boot.”<\/p>\n Replay Operator: “Yep, okay.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “Check complete, check complete.

Are you happy with this image? It’s onside. The image that we gave them is onside.”<\/p>\n Assistant VAR (Cook): “He’s played him, he’s gone offside.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “Oh ****.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Replay Operator: “Delay, delay. [Fourth official Michael Oliver] is saying to delay. Oli is saying to delay.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “Pardon?”<\/p>\n Replay Operator: “Oli is calling in to say delay the game. The decision is onside.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “Can’t do anything.”<\/p>\n Replay Operator: “Oli is saying to delay. Oli is saying to delay.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “Oli?”<\/p>\n Fourth official (Oliver): “Yeah.”<\/p>\n Replay Operator: “Delay the game, stop the game.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “They’ve restarted the game. Can’t do anything, can’t do anything.”<\/p>\n Assistant VAR (Cook): “Yeah, they’ve restarted. Yeah.”<\/p>\n VAR (England): “I can’t do anything. I can’t do anything. ****.”<\/p>\n
