Currently, PGMOL has also actually admitted that Diaz's goal should have been allowed but this kind of thing has happened even though it is now admitted that it was an error from the referee, it still does not restore anything. Liverpool have also responded by providing a statement relating to this matter.
But again this also cannot be changed because it has already happened but it is important for PGMOL because this can be a good lesson and in the end for future matches there are no more human errors like this so as not to harm one of the clubs in a match.
Who else is still following the VAR controversy at Tottenham on Saturday between the Liverpool. After this event, Liverpool had took it upon itself to trail the case to make a request to the PGMOL to release the audio conversation of the incident. Interestingly, PGMOL was able to get Liverpool with the footages for their review. We are also hoping and waiting to have it released publicly. On the flip side, the VAR official was biased and used emotion to make his judgment. I still don't take it as a mistake because Diaz strike wasn't supposed to be ruled out just like that. The official could have taken more time to analyze this before taken on in his conclusion. As a penalty, both the VAR official and his assistant have been removed from matchday duties for the rest of the week.
I join others who criticized the decision of the VAR team who didn't intervene after they had discovered the true part of the incident. They could have just resolved it while the game was still on. Although, they capitalized on the IFAB Rule 10. Nonetheless, they could have done better to have resolved this issue on the pitch. I want to believe thst Tottenham took the home advantage over Liverpool. But next time, the VAR team needs to get better sothey don't raise the football fan's possible concerns on Favoritism.
But in situations like this, what should be the possible outcome, will the goal be counted or does it mean the PGMOL does not have any provision to address such mistakes in favor of the victims?
Currently, several things have been released including audio conversations during the VAR and there are indeed several reviews that PGMOL is still conducting to date.
PGMOL recognises the mistake made in disallowing Diaz's goal which should have been valid due to poor audio for communication from the referee and VAR referee and PGMOL also wants this infrastructure to be re-evaluated to prevent similar incidents from happening.
In addition, PGMOL is also still conducting several other reviews whether this will ultimately change the previous results or not but indeed if in the end if they admit the mistakes made as a form of accountability then there must be several things they can do such as changing the results even though this will also definitely get pros and cons for some parties.
We still have to wait for the continuation of this it seems because of course Liverpool also wants justice or at least compensation in this case.
