VAR Darren England and assistant VAR Dan Cook have been stood down for this weekend’s fixtures after what referees’ body PGMOL called a “significant human error,” while Liverpool have requested to receive the audio of the exchange between referee Simon Hooper and those in the VAR room at Stockley Park.That request has been granted and the recording is set to be made public in due course.
He added: “It changed the job of the referees because now they don’t make the decisions, the important decisions are made by VAR. But then if VAR makes a mistake you have a problem. “I understand completely how upset Liverpool in this case must be. The bosses of the referees will decide what we have to do and we will follow them.”In a strongly-worded statement on Sunday, Liverpool argued that sporting integrity had been “undermined” and said they would “explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution”.
