Yes there was a human error in the Tottenham - Liverpool game, horrendous...but why is that more important than the penalty Wolves had given against Luton? It isn't.
Liverpool have every right to be aggrieved, but their case is no more important than the others - despite the extra headlines.
The Premier League do need to act though and a good starting would be the introduction of semi-automated offside, it worked at the World Cup and needs to be looked at in England ASAP.
The clubs said no before, but they need to look again.
