plus side, no malik next week!
Rough call.
What happened to that whole directive about penalties and red/yellow cards?
I don’t think the tackle was horrendously bad. Contact points weren’t great but I thi I it was a legitimate attempt on the ball.
Wonder if Milligan red card got reviewed?
How often to you see players size each their up and come together to a yellow or a stern chat.
For Milligan, it did say up on the screen there was a VAR review while he was waking off the field.Quote:

I dont get why they call the ref over to make a decision. Commentators said last night that the ref made the call after viewing. If we are going to use such a pointless system make the var make the call and get on with the game. Not review it then get the ref to review it and make a decision.
i don't really have a problem with the red card. it was tough, yes, but it was late, he slid in studs up, he got him.
i can't remember anything in the rules about "intent to injure" being required for a red. players should be more careful, tackles like that can end careers.
i assume it is required to make sure that the on-field ref still has the greatest authority.Quote:

Watching the replay and hearing Speedy yelling out "they have to look at that on the Maccas VAR surely".
It was meant to be seamless but its being constantly referred about.
Yeh he is terrible for it too. I’d imagine Maccas want some sort of return for their investment.Quote:

What about that VAR Member?.... FFS... #SFCKhunts
Roar handball accidently and concede a penalty. Sfc handball 4 times so far and ref is yet to blow whistle. Then you have sfc chopping down players and again ni whistle. Roar on the other hand get penalised for minimal contact.
Can'tvwait to beat these khunts in thre finals
How long did it take to make that send off decision? 5 minutes?
Let's see how much stoppage time we get.
yep, five full minutes and they didn't seem to look at the angle that showed the gob didn't land on the ****
who here wouldn't gob on Matt Simon if you ever got within gobbing distance
gobbing distance meaning you're either in a crack den or a centrelink office yeah?Quote:

This is getting ridiculous....and is causing more grief and anger than no VAR. Pen given way after play has carried on and why the red card for handball like that?
Kudos to Simon Hill for calling to end the whole charade.
Whats the point of having the ****ed system when they still allow a goal to stand from a clear offside. Just get rid of it ffs.
where are WSW sitting on the list of FFA's favourite teams? tonight might be enough to kill the concept.
no wait, hang on, they've already got a sponsor, so it's probably here all season.*
* until it costs sydney a game of course
The second review was a half arsed effort....as if they thought they'd wasted enough time.Quote:

Hill has been a vocal objector before its introduction (rightly so IMHO). And as for Bozza, it’s not “here to stay”. It’s a trial, and one that I think most people would agree has been a failure.
Is it still a trial?Quote:

As possibly controversial as it sounds, given their overall ineptness, I'd prefer to see an extra ref in each penalty box and piss off the tech.
why not do something amazing like take the money we're wasting on this process and pay refs enough to go full time?
Kossie made a great point....A-League refs know the rules but don't really "know the game" - interpreting what should be a red or a yellow or a sharp warning. Most of them act like they just want to interpret the rules exactly and think that will be right. As Ned said at the same time the interpretations are totally screwing the system.
I still can't see why Cornflakes got sent for deliberate handball in that situation.
The VAR was supposed to work in the background to right the howlers, as expected the refs are moving to it rather than having balls and we are going down the cricket path.
Great post.Quote:

How about poaching 2-3 refs from elsewhere around the world . Bring them here and make the local jamokes improve
becasue refs will always be sh1t and the VAR is run by refs...10 got 20, 20 goto 10Quote:

It is killing the game. I think many of us can live with a wrong referee call made in the heat of the moment, but when you're sitting through 5 minutes of replays just so the VAR can make a bad call anyway it's a disaster. It's still a person watching a video and making a call based on perception and opinion.
This isn't tennis where the rulings are clear cut - in or out. The only thing we should seriously consider using video technology for is when a goal is awarded: did it cross the line, were they offside, etc. and even then I'm only really backing the former consideration. I'm not even in favour of overturning bookings or penalty calls.
Bozza can do one as far as I'm concerned. He has no idea.
they just said everything will be reassesed in March, with the FFA saying one option is to get rid of it.Quote:

It has not reduced controversy, only increased it - when did you last see a weekend with this much controversy in one hit?
How come for years in the A-League, controversial incidents have been censored on the big screen at games for fear of causing trouble in the crowd but suddenly now it is a free for all?
And look at history - how different would the football world be if Hurst's goal was disallowed, Maradona was sent off for deliberate handball.....or the Gypos were awarded a penalty in the 2008 GF.
hahaha this is a great point.Quote:
