The audio recording of the VAR deliberation leading to the disallowed goal by Luis Diaz has been shared, but it appears that the PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) may not have provided the complete story.
At the 0:49 mark in the released clip, VAR Darren England can be heard saying, “Check complete, check complete. That’s fine, perfect,” and this is also reflected in the subtitles and on-screen graphics, indicating that Liverpool’s No.7 is onside.
However, what’s notably absent from the transcription is the clear utterance of the word “Off.”
The omission of such a crucial detail is indeed glaring, and it raises concerns that the disallowed goal may not have been a result of miscommunication but rather an error of judgment, which is a more concerning issue.
