Potential VAR abuse

“1st goal offside and foul on fullback” Lowe posted. “Boys on VAR must have clocked off and gone to bar.
I think Ray Charles maybe would have picked those TWO things up Looking forward to clarification from gents at FFA.”

Geez I love stripes on the field. That little roller at the back of those swiftly rotating blades
does a wonderful job of making grass lie this way and that to make the grass look light and dark.
So, 'ave a gander at the defender at the near corner of the 18 tosser. Where's his foot?
Pretty tight call on Johnny K at the back the 'moment' the ball is kicked. Wonder what a frame or 2 back looks like?

Zif a ref or linesman's gonna want to review that.
Boo fkn hoo Kenny.

I love that no-one including Perth fans back him up on his twitter rant. Looks like Santa will be giving him the whole sack this Xmas.

When Garrucio got sent the other night - you could clearly here a player yell at the ref, "look at the replay". Isn't that supposed to be a no-no too?

Mitch Nichols' comments post-match were interesting.

I read Castro had in his contract that he only has to do the last 4 weeks of pre-season and I took Nichols to be having a dig at him, as well as Jake Brimmer who let Vujica past.

Also interesting he stopped himself saying somethings during the interview about the culture or happenings at the club.

All doesn't seem well in Perth.

Interesting he said they'd release someone in Jan to free up a spot for Rodriguez to become a permanent. Guessing Alessi?

Also I'm guessing Rodriguez was Merricks 3rd choice he had at the start of the year when he mentioned a shortlist of 3 players. Vargas was 2 and we just missed out on 1st. Wonder who that was?.. special kind of player being "superior" to these two

Fux Football give me the willies.

Last night when asked what the round highlights were Bozza said the Melbourne derby and resurgence of Victory (1-0, 94th minute pen ffs). Slater said Bobo scoring a hattrick to break clear at the top scorers list (c**t should have been suspended and he just passed the league's best striker who hasn't played for six weeks).

Gave us a decent report after our game but were more interested in what is wrong with the Wanderers.

Finally basically said we should be proud of what we have achieved and it will be no disgrace to lose to Victory and Smurfs as they are the best two squads in the country - it came across as very patronising.

I agree mate, but it does grate sometimes. The A-League needs the other clubs but the media wants a Real/Barcelona type league.

Even if we go through the rest of the season undefeated I could still see the GF moved to Allianz with Smurfs as heavy media favourites!

[Hunter403]

Last night Bozza said that the Melbourne derby was the original derby. Tweeted him and corrected him. His response " Same city derby". Seems he can't ever say he is wrong.

That’s because one is a manc twat and the other is Arnold’s best mate....who gives a flying **** what those idiots say.....let them put media pressure on the Sydney and Melbourne teams...when we take wins off both them teams what excuses will they come up with....victory’s resurgence was short lived, Sydney have an eye on Asia....who cares..we are winning, we are getting points from losing positions and we are trouncing teams.

77th minute tonight in the game between Sydney and Glory is a perfect example. Beard brings down Glory player on the break and free kick only. Any other team a dead set yellow every day of the week. Screw ref boss Williams, Lowy Jnr and Gallop for there clear bias toward the Smurfs. Bozza has the hide to get on his soapbox a few weeks ago on Fox having a crack at people who think there is a bias by telling them to pull there heads in.

Hey Bozza the proof is in the stats and what people see with there own two eyes not those with one at Fox and FFA HQ.

exactly. Need a ref who doesnt to want to powder their asses all game.

On another note comp is over, bring on semis

[Tommyjet]

Perfect case of the bias last night was when zullo went through late on Harold after he had cleared a ball up the line. Ref blew a free kick but the commentators said they couldn't see much wrong with zullos challenge and that Harold was the one that created the contact. Zullo playing for another team gets a yellow there.
