Don't know where it actually confirms Beath admits he made a mistake:

Don't get why we want to sign Bridge for 2 1/2 seasons:

So the refs admitted they made a mistake. Now what?
:yawn:
a deep sense of vindication at a severe injustice! :D
to be serious though, that game has put me firmly in the camp of favouring video reviews. I don't think they would have overturned their penalty decision, but they definitely would have for the one we should have got. I'm also fairly certain that the ball crossed the line for their third, but a camera in the goal upright would have categorically proven the whole ball crossed the whole of the line. the only angles I saw left a (small) amount of doubt as to whether it did.
not sure if I support it for deciding offside though.
will be a real ripper once the players and coaches come out and admit their mistakes too.
blokes will need physio to sooth the pain of pointing fingers all over the place.
pointless exercise.
I understand your point of view, but I can't say I share it.
Goal line technology which doesn't interfere with the game (a la EPL) is one thing; but stopping to check whether the handball was correct etc. opens up a can of worms I am happy ignoring.
Remember when NRL refs and touch judges actually had to make decisions in a match? Those were the days. And even now with all their bunker rubbish, they still get it wrong at times.
Human error, for players, managers and referees are all part of the rich tapestry that gives us all something to talk about in the post-mortem, and for mine, what makes our game so great
I wonder if a coach and/or captain review system would be the go, similar to cricket and tennis. Get one or two incorrect reviews per half. Might also ease off the ridiculous referee mobbing every time any decision is made ever. If they legitimately think he has made a bad error, they have an actual tool to contest it rather than just abusing the ref over everything to try and influence future decisions.
I don't think everything should be removed from refs, black and white decisions (such as whether the ball has crossed the goal line) are a great example of where technology can make a positive change. Some things like handballs and offsides can be judged pretty accurately by technology but can still be too hard or very difficult to call at times. Getting rid of the real bad obvious mistakes (which I think reviews might handle well) is the main thing. Stuff like challenges and bad tackles etc I don't think technology should go near, even with replays from all angles, you might get some more information but nothing ever looks the same once you've had a few looks and seen it in slow-mo etc, good challenges can look bad and vice versa. Rather just let it play out with the officials having the real-time info.
No - in South America and similar passionate countries I have no doubt they would use their reviews very quickly and then we would be back to the status quo. Under no circumstances should the players have control of reviews - it is killing cricket (I still don't believe the ball tracker is 100% accurate), where it is used as a tactic to punt on possibilities rather than clarify blunders. If anything leave it to the fourth official to watch the video and flag when he sees an issue or let the ref pass it on for verification if not sure.
As has been mentioned - sometimes after several views a decision is still not clear.
I believe human error is a vital part of sport - if everyone was perfect there would be no results. Harden up and leave it as it is.
I wonder if we will also get an explanation and apology from Mullen regarding what he was doing for their fourth goal.
:rof:
we all know who's fault that was.......

But seriously, I'm for Goal line technology, but this VAR stuff I don't like. Look at what happened in the club World Cup. The game was 70m away from the box, and the ref called it back after 2 minutes. Just bring in the Additional Assistant Referee's and most of the problems will go.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I like the idea of having a ref standing basically 5-10m beside the goalpost (opposite side to AR) to help call anything that happens in the box. If they think something should be pulled up, they raise their flag, otherwise play continues. It's an extra set of eyes from a different angle, it doesn't disrupt play, and if it improves decisions by even a small percentage, then happy days.
Nothing will ever be perfect. As someone else mentioned, the NRL are trying that and possibly making things worse every year. I was dragged along to some local league games a few years ago and it was great not seeing everything freeze for 5 minutes after a try - a team scored, ref pointed to the ground, half the crowd cheered immediately. They didn't need 230 camera angles to decide whether the guy's fingernail scraped the ball for "downward pressure" or any of that BS. Who wants football to become like that?
We got shafted with the Victory game when we possibly would have lost anyway. We got lucky against Adelaide. Swings & roundabouts.
Valkanis already talking like a typical moron coach.
First press conference he was banging on about 'a sleeping lion waking up' then he talked more about lions then he said 'game by game'.
lord spare us, we got another one boys.
Why?
The whole reason we need tech assistance is cause all humans are useless and make mistakes at crucial times. If we start checking handball then there be checks for heaps of other stuff.
Only 2 checks are needed. Ball over the line and offside, the rest is up to the cheating refs and astute assistants.

As much as I need a new cooler, I very much doubt Lustica is the man who's gonna win another one for us... (this one has a misprint anyway, reckons wankles was the goalscorer... BTW the beer is a shout-out to Nordstrand - never forget where the crucial goals are coming from... ;) )
apparently he doesn't just have weak ankles...
