A fairly significant adventure in a game of football.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Whatever I say will be seen through the prism that we were the beneficiaries of a mistake and we certainly were. The facts of it are that there was a legitimate goal that wasn&#8217;t given.

I don&#8217;t think that there&#8217;s anything that needs to go too far reaching.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think everyone just wants to make sure what happened doesn&#8217;t happen again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And that&#8217;s another thing, don&#8217;t ask managers and players about the rules of the game. We don&#8217;t know half of them. The referees do. We shouldn&#8217;t be commenting on them because if a referee commented on the tactics of the game we&#8217;d all be jumping up and down as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;From my perspective when I listened to that audio, saying &#8216;check complete&#8217;, someone obviously thought it was a good way of finalising things and it&#8217;s worked up until now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I would have thought the logical thing is to say &#8216;goal for Liverpool&#8217; and there isn&#8217;t anything but I&#8217;m saying that with the ignorance of not knowing how it&#8217;s truly set up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When listening to that you probably think there&#8217;s better ways of communicating a clear decision in such a big situation. I hope that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re addressing, not the individual that made the mistake. I think that&#8217;s a dereliction of the game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That&#8217;s like me hanging out a player to dry just because he made a mistake. My role is to go in and help that player to improve not say &#8220;now you&#8217;re never playing again&#8221;.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12602259\/Ange-Postecoglou-says-Tottenham-NOT-allowed-Liverpool-score-Luis-Diazs-goal-wrongly-disallowed-insists-faultless-doesnt-exist-amid-fury-VAR-blunder.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham would NOT have allowed Liverpool to score after Luis Diaz&#8217;s goal was wrongly disallowed\u00a0&#8211;
