Liverpool have been awaiting answers on how Luis Diaz’s goal was disallowed since the traumatic events inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and now there’s been a major update on proceedings.
As reported by Neil Jones on X: ‘Liverpool are now in receipt of the VAR audio from Saturday’s game at Tottenham, and will take the time necessary to review’.
Seeing as this social media post came around 65 hours after the full-time whistle in London, it’s hard not to think of what could have been done to the file in the meantime.
The story of a misunderstood check for a goal and not one that had already been ruled out for offside has already been widely spread, now the audio must match the story.
Quite how it can take so long for this to be released is unfathomable and now we can only await what the club say once they have reviewed it thoroughly, which we’re sure they will.
It’s likely that VAR Darren England and linesman Dan Cook will be the most scrutinised, with no irony being lost that they were also the only two members of the team who officiated in the UAE just 48 hours before our meeting with Spurs.

Whether we will ever get access to the audio is unknown at this point but after a mistake so public and so damaging, transparency would be the best way to restore faith in the PGMOL.
Howard Webb has also remained staggeringly quiet and now that it’s not talking about how great he and his peers are, the former South Yorkshire Police Sergeant has took a step back from the media.
Answers will be coming soon and let’s hope this boils down to a monumental error of judgement and nothing more sinister.

I never comment on other fans forums but you would think Liverpool had lost the league, Champions League and god knows what else based on this reaction. Conspiracies theories? Give it a rest.
I assume of course Liverpool have never benefited from an incorrect decision?
Move on, it was a shit decision, such is football. There have been worst offside decisions and there will be in the future. Talking about sporting integrity and exploring options is really pretty petty.
Liverpool are a disgrace get over it bad mistake for goal but it was a human mistake they don’t get things there way they do this joke saying ref an officials rigged shut up we all no clubs have had mistakes done against tem in all Europe with var but it’s Liverpool this time so we want it sorted sack var officials what lose people jobs an they you can bet your life they wan t match replayed not spurs problem match is over now
Mistake oh please man they must be punished cri.e is a crime
At NO POINT has LFC said ANYTHING about a replay. Pull your head out of your @r$e and say something which makes sense.
You sir are an idiot….the whole point of this system is to totally eradicate mistakes…you cant “move on” you fool because nothing will ever change if you do….what a surprise your a spurs fan too….im sure you’d be up for “moving on” if you had been on the end of the decision…..you should be more concerned about how a side down to 9 men kept you out for so long…proper spursy that
The purpose is not to eradicate mistakes, it’s to reduce them, eradicating mistakes is never going to be possible. Spurs fans have had to move on from much more serious errors, which benefited Liverpool, and the club and fan base didn’t have the kind of embarrassing meltdown and tantrum we are all witnessing at the moment. Take a deep breath, quit screaming, and move on before you make yourselves even more of a laughing stock.
Why don’t you move on Liverpool played well. Yiu actually saying crime is.ok.mxm
well said. I agree with you 100 percent.
Replay the CL final that was a massive error awarding a penalty
Let’s have a review asap 😂😂😂
liverpool still beat spurs in that final 1-0 even if you take away the penalty which in itself is a completely subjective call for handball, not a blatantly obvious case of onside. taking away this indisputable goal was the difference between a win and a draw so do with my truth on the matter what you will.
I can’t believe you just said that shocking day light robbery so is it ok to be a criminal YNWA justice for Liverpool
