The VAR audio from the disallowed goal for Liverpool at Tottenham has revealed that the replay operator was first to spot the embarrassing error
has been released by the Professional Game Match Officials Ltd , revealing the replay operator was the first person to spot the embarrassing error and urge the team of officials to stop the game.
The PGMOL immediately apologised for the “significant human error” in which England and Cook failed to overrule the officials’ on‑field decision. “Wait, wait, wait, wait,” said the replay operator, immediately after play restarts with a Spurs free-kick. “The on-field decision was offside.
A statement from the PGMOL on Monday said it recognised “standards fell short of expectations”. England, who was due to referee Leicester’s Championship match with Preston on Wednesday, and Cook have been omitted from the referee appointments this week but the on-field referee, Simon Hooper, has been named as the VAR for Everton’s home match against Bournemouth on Saturday.
The PGMOL added that officials will be reminded that efficiency should never be prioritised over accuracy and a new VAR communication protocol will be launched to enhance the dialogue between the referee and VAR in relation to decisions. The VAR will be ordered to confirm the outcome of each VAR check with the assistant VAR before confirming the final decision to the on-field officials.
