LFC statement on VAR stitch-up.

[ianlfc]

The Premier League's independent panel has ruled Diogo Jota shouldn't have been sent off in Liverpool's controversial 2-1 defeat at Spurs.

Do they carry any weight in getting the red card rescinded, or are they a couple of lads in a pub ?

No weight to rescind it. My understanding is that it's a panel that reviews games to check how refs are performing. It's made up of former refs and players. 5 people reviewed the game and on a vote of 3 to 2 they felt jota shouldn't have gotten the 2nd yellow card. They don't review 1st yellow cards apparently.

So jobs for the boys then and totally pointless.

Many people knew that already.
Is it worth appealing?
So much shite from the officials in one game, beggars belief.
Can the club put in a complaint about the (really poor) standard of refereeing in this game?

Diogo Jota should not have been sent off during Liverpool's controversial 2-1 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday, according to the Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel.
Jota was shown two yellow cards in quick succession for incidents involving Destiny Udogie, with the first booking the Liverpool forward received coming after there appeared to be no contact with the Spurs full-back
After his first booking, Jota was shown a second yellow card for a lunge on Udogie less than 120 seconds later, with referee Simon Hooper quick to brandish a second yellow card in the Portugal international's direction.

However, according to a new report by ESPN, five members of the Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel voted in favour, 3-2, that Jota should not have been shown a second yellow card. The report is said to have labelled the decision as "incorrect" and believe the 69th-minute lunge "did not meet the threshold for a yellow card".

No shit …

3-2 in favour?? just shows how these people think should have been all 5 agreed it wasn't a yellow. Like it matters anyway when the first yellow was even more pathetic..

[miller0863]

As I said earlier today, he didn’t make contact for either yellow, the only contact was the opponent kicking his knee

[justme]

I know

[miller0863]

Total bullshit mate
