Lawmakers could allow audio between referees and VARs to be available liveBy Jamie Gardner, PA Chief Sports ReporterFootball Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has raised the prospect of the game’s lawmakers examining whether audio between referees and VARs should be available live. The incident caused huge controversy, with Reds manager Jurgen Klopp even calling for the match to be replayed. Broadcasting the conversations between on-field officials and VARs live is currently prohibited under football’s laws. In a tournament you have referees with multiple languages, so it is not as straightforward as some might suggest. VAR interventions are currently limited to goals, penalties, straight red cards and mistaken identity.
