Manchester United legend Gary Neville did not spare the hints as he clamped down on Liverpool and Arsenal for setting 'nonsense' Premier League precedents.
Neville blasted the two clubs for writing Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL) - a self-regulating administrative body for English match officials - to complain on poor and substandard officiating in the Premier League.
Liverpool came at odds with PGMOL early this season when Luis Diaz's goal against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League was controversially chalked off.
Recall a heated VAR debate ensued when Luis Diaz thought he has put Liverpool ahead against Tottenham only for his goal to be wrongly disallowed by the match referee. The two VAR officials Dan Cook and Darren England who were incharge of the game thought the on-field decision affirmed the goal only to discover the goal was actually disallowed.
Liverpool blasted the PGMOL for loopholes that has led to such costly blunders.
Responding to the blunder, PGMOL issued a statement describing the decision to disallow the goal as a 'significant human error.'
Arsenal, who have also been at the receiving end of controversial VAR decisions this season, recently wrote PGMOL this January complaining how their prolific winger Bukayo Saka has been a high target for several fouls this season.
Based on stats, Saka is the most fouled player this season in the Premier League and Arsenal appeared concern on apparent officiating gaps that romances rough tackles during games.
Gary Neville is apparently unfazed by the complaints by Liverpool and Arsenal to PGMOL.
The 48-year-old described the complaints as 'embarassing' and an unnecessary and 'nonsense precedent.'
"Clubs writing to the PGMOL is embarrassing! Liverpool and Arsenal started it and set the precedent of this nonsense," Neville wrote on X.
Liverpool and Arsenal are not the only clubs complaining of poor officiating in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest recently wrote PGMOL for clarity on why Ivan Toney's freek-kick goal was allowed at the weekend.
Toney shifted the free-kick from the exact position which the referee placed it before firing into the net to aid Brentford's 3-2 win over the Tricky Trees. Nottingham Forest have insisted the goal should have been disallowed after the Arsenal target rolled it off the right position to gain advantage.
