‘Just bore off’ - Jonathan Walters goes on social media VAR rant about Liverpool fans

Jonathan Walters has claimed that Liverpool need to ‘move on’ from the VAR controversy in the loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds released a statement as they ‘explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution’ following the 2-1 defeat by Spurs last Saturday. Jurgen Klopp’s side were denied a goal when Luis Diaz found the back of the net in the first half.

He was initially given offside but replays showed he was in a legal position - yet VAR referee Darren England did not overturn the decision. The PGMOL has since admitted there was a significant human error made.

However, former Stoke City forward Walters - a boyhood Everton fan - believes that the decision needs to be left in the past after England made a mistake.

Writing on Twitter, Walters said: “I’ve got a timeline full of Liverpool fans moaning ‘The game needs to be replayed’ ‘Sign this petition’ … just bore off. Someone made a big error and said sorry. It’s a mistake so move on. There’s been plenty of mistakes this season with red cards, penalty decisions and goals given..nobody has asked for a replay.

“The game isn’t getting replayed. END of story. The world is not against you. You should try being an Everton fan this season and last season and the season before…it’s not very good.”
