enhanced clarity seems the right way to go tbh
i guess another way to put it would be stop being #@&%!ed
how is 'check complete' alone a clear statement, surprised it's taken so long for this to happen

Keith Hackett goes in:

When Howard Webb’s first show came out that released recordings of past incidents, it was evident to me that it was a load of garbage to be honest with you. The conversations were so garbled, and it just felt so confused. I didn’t even see the need for lines to be drawn on this one, as it was so clear Luis Diaz was onside.

Honestly, I could not believe what I was listening to when the PGMOL released what happened - it’s a good thing they have done this, but ultimately it shines a light on how incompetent the decision making is, and it will only serve to stoke the flames among supporters who feel aggrieved at such decision making. Now you’ve listened to that excerpt, you are bound to start wondering what similarly garbage conversations have happened with other incidents. Fans already have a great amount of suspicion around referees, Var and their ability to make the right decisions - this will only make things worse, given the content in the audio release.

I was staggered by the level of communication on show in the short clip released on Tuesday night. There was no joined-up thinking, clarity of thought or any sort of collaborative approach. It appeared people were passing the buck until it all dawned on them what happened, and how they could not - or did not want to - rectify it.

I don't watch much rugby but when I do they always seem to do well with the video replays. No need for lines all over the shop either. Could be a case of overwhelming stupid people with excessive technology.

£#%&! me. He’s deluded.

Would set an interesting precedent if it happened though…..

Thought he was dead against fixture congestion?

Yet here he is asking for an extra game.

no chance, imagine the absolute can of worms that would open.

and spurs have to agree to it for anything like that to happen - same as when arsenal replayed sheff utd in the fa cup that time.

spurs will tell liverpool to £#%&! off and rightly so. Remember that 'penalty' after about 50 seconds in the champions league final that was nowhere near handball? Yeah £#%&! off liverpool.

they are embarrassing themselves now

Football is done if these @#%&!s get the game replayed.

He wants a replay and a rematch clause inserted, in case they don't win.

He also wants Liverpool to get a 60/40 split of the TV rights for the game.

He's also asking for the complete memoirs of Donald Sinden and a little Cairn terrier called Bobby.

He's a looney.

Spurs should let Liverpool score in the same minute in the return fixtures....

Whole stadium singing YNWA

Would be funny if they got tonked in the replay and Salah got injured.

In the second part of the interview, he insists that Cristian Romero has his left leg removed before the game to ensure the same thing doesn’t happen again.
