Betting agencies are arguing that VAR negatively impacts them. I don't believe for a moment that any group with their level of investment at stake in the game would ever have allowed the introduction of it in the first place if that was really the case.Quote:

See the problem is now is that the umpires and 3rd umpire were precisely right
There was no clear error there from the inglfield umpire so they let the call stand
I think the biggest problem is the tv coverage where they focus on trying to split hairs on decisions instead of just accepting the refs ****ed up
You go watch a game at the ground and you just accept the poor decisions from the ref and get on with it. Not now thanks to VAR the game is tampered with repetitively
Looked a pretty legit fourth for wellington to me!
Grant just got sent.
SFC Agent Speedy..."is that a definite error by the referee?
Then...."after his head knock does Grant know what he is even doing?"
Slater...."he's off"
The fact it wasn’t an automatic red shows how bad a league officiating is.Quote:

Defies logic this bloke is officiating at this level.
SFC lodging an appeal for poor Rhino (as Tara would call him).

I hate fox coverage with the even worse then previous Sydney centric coverage...the nickname calling is vomit worthy.....hopefully if the clubs take over this is something that could be addressed.Quote:

Tara should get a life ban for her piss poor effort in the Stajic / Matildas fiasco.Quote:

Your right Tara, Garb and L Zelic should have all been given the ass from there respective roles in the media for using there positions to further the false claims. It would appear not one of them done there own homework to validate any claims before jumping on the " if only you knew " brigade.Quote:

Another odd Saturday round where all the kickoffs are around 5pm local time.
So thumbs up Roy out of the squad altogether today i hear ?. That move North probs only paying off in a monetary sense right about now.
Seems like Roy told him to F off back to Everton
Fux SFC commentary complaining about Jamie Young taking more then 6 seconds to get rid of the ball.
How long did Wiggle take last week with no criticism?
so when can we get Roy back on the cheap in a loan deal?? gotta be a better option than Hoff or Shep at the moment...Quote:

He has never been the same player since the 8 week suspension he got at the start of his second season with us. Also he is prone to groin injuries and not getting any younger.
So, marquee signing coming up?Quote:

didn't want to divert attention from the real cause
Nice backheel
Nice keeping
Somebody really needs to talk to donachy about that tackling technique. That's a career ending tackle waiting for somebody.
Football has a head injury problem. Jamieson just said "i don't remember the first half, i got pole-axed". How can a player say that and stay on a field?
Plus, archie thompson is a shit commentator.
It was good.Quote:
