Tottenham vs Liverpool replay unlikely as Premier League rules do not apply
Jurgen Klopp is demanding the game take place again but the only provision for replays according to Premier League handbook is when rules are breached by clubs rather than match officialswww.mirror.co.uk
Premier League rule could see Tottenham vs Liverpool replayed after VAR blunder
The furious Reds have not demanded the game take place again after officials' howler saw Luis Diaz's goal ruled out, but the Premier League's own rules state such a decision is possible
VAR brought under question after Luis Diaz decision | Football Digest

The Premier League could decide to replay Tottenham Hotspur’s game with Liverpool - if an appointed commission rules that the match officials breached the Laws of the game when it came to ruling out Luis Diaz’s goal.
- 17:27, 3 Oct 2023
Audio of the incident will be released soon by referees’ body PGMOL, who are striving to be as transparent as possible following Saturday evening's embarrassing howler, but only after Liverpool have been allowed to assess what communication took place between the ref Simon Hooper, the VAR Darren England and his assistant Dan Cook.
Both England and Cook have been sidelined by PGMOL but Hooper acted as fourth official in Monday night’s game between Fulham and Chelsea, indicating that he has been exonerated from blame.
The Reds have not called for the game to be replayed but a carefully-worded statement said they would “explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution.”
That, according to experts, suggests they have already sought legal advice and should they end up lobbying for the match to be replayed after digesting the audio, there is a pathway for that to happen.
Stephen Taylor Heath, co-head of Sports Law at JMW Solicitors, told Mirror Football: “Rule L18 outlines that the Premier League board has the power to order a league match to be replayed provided that recommendation to that effect has been made by a commission under rule W51.
“In addition to this, under rule W1, the Premier League’s board has the power to inquire about any suspected breach of rules, including those made by a match official, while rule N4 ensures that each match official agrees to be bound by the laws of the game as well as any protocols and FA rules.
I've a feeling that the 'compromise' to this will be that we are 'advised' to allow them to walk the ball into the net when we kick off at Anfield, and start the game 0-1 down...I thought it was widely decided that this wouldn't happen
They can fuck right offI've a feeling that the 'compromise' to this will be that we are 'advised' to allow them to walk the ball into the net when we kick off at Anfield, and start the game 0-1 down...
It will effectively make the away game the replay!
I can almost see it happening...
Behave.Have a replay it’s only fair . Must be fair to both sides though. Start the game 11 players for Spurs v 9 players for Liverpool. Give us 2 goals that we finished with. Give Liverpool 1 goal that they finished with plus the 1 disallowed goal. We start at 2-2. How could they argue with that?
Akin to following an SOP, and getting nonsense out as a result.Tried to explain this to a Dipper who was way to thick to process it. It's human error and its of the most basic kind of human error where protocols exist and are followed but simple linguistic parameters have not been properly established. Oddly and far more seriously it reminded me if the shooting of Jean Charles Demeniezes. Gold command under the useless Cressida Dick made just this kind of mistake and it cost a life. I know it pales in comparison with failing to award Liverpool a goal mind you.
What a fantastic idea!I’m getting a tee shirt made up with the words ‘Check complete’ on it
Hint, how long did anyone dwell on the CL final sissoko handball decision ?TalkSport still going on about it this morning... 4 days after the event!
It would ALMOST (almost, but not quite) be worth having a decision go against US in the near future, JUST to see how long after the final whistle the media and whole football world were STILL talking about it... 2, 3, 4 days maybe...?
My guess is 6-7 minutes, then they'd go to the break, and not mention it again!
They changed the fucking handball rule mid-season a few years ago, the year that we lost at home to Newcastle to a dodgy pen for "handball" against Dier...I agree, the offside rule as it is needs changed. But it can't be changed midseason, and certainly not because the Scousers are whining.
I'm not going to lose any sleep over what Steve at JMW Solicitors is being quoted by The Mirror as saying the PL could do...I thought it was widely decided that this wouldn't happen
you cuntIs this going to be the longest match thread of all time?
Will we still be talking about it come the international break?
If so expect a 1000+ page thread and multiple cunt offs and sending offs. Can’t wait.
Glorious.

Speaking of which, did Huddersfield get a replay when their equaliser was wrongly ruled out?Green and red. A buzzer or a bell. Anything really
Keep going back to goal line technology, needed to be tested 100% before it was allowed while VAR is a mess making it up as they go along
They should use morse code for “goal” and “no goal” to avoid confusion:Radio comms would suggest ‘golf’ and ‘November’ for goal and no goal respectively. Clearly clarity of comms is an issue, but no mistaking the radio alphabet.
