sorry, forgot you were having one of your 'bad reading days'.
I wasnt 'ragging' on anyone.
I was bemused as to why he waited til after the player got possession, dribbled then shot before raising it.
It looked to me that he was hedging his bets and I wondered if it was a new approach for touchies.
i thought the flag went up but the ref delayed the call.
from the laws of the game
and"Direct and indirect free kicks and penalty kicks can only be awarded for offences committed when the ball is in play."
"The ball is out of play when:
- it has wholly passed over the goal line or touchline on the ground or in the air
- play has been stopped by the referee"
Chris Beath besides being a **** has just shown up the VAR to be useless
oh, and i swear last night there was another "late' flag from the touchy. this time shot didnt go in so didnt matter, but am positive he waited til the play was over to raise it, not when the offside player became involved.
anyone see that one? (1st half)
He picked it straight away and allowed play on for the Smurfs despite it being a clear as day off side
In the second half when your trash mate Jair was getting pinged for trying to emulate Milos Trufunovics record the **** had his flag up as soon as he could gwt it up
Complete double standards in officiating
Wtf!
Loved the Kiwi comment...."and that is why the VAR doesn't work".
wowsers, anyone see the clear pen given to Brisbane tonight?
clear contact, clearly in the box. ref made a call and it was right.
enter VAR, who had multiple replays of the incident, and saw both contact and where the foul was.
yet they 'still' called the ref over to have a look.
now im no conspiracy theorist, but its a really bad look for the league when the VAR is actively trying to get the ref to rethink a decision against one of its big clubs.
thankfully the ref told Mr VAR to sit his ass down.
How is Fox though....can't see how the elbows by Mosque and Le Fondue are "accidental" after what happened to Elsey the other night.
And try as they might they couldn't swing a handball on McKay.
The pen was a joke....Tagz had no chance after waiting 4 mins.
yeah that foul by Brosque right on halftime was nasty as all hell.
i was only half watching and assumed the ref gave him a yellow even though it could have been straight red.
then he gets a yellow late in the 2nd half and i thought he was off. but seems he got nothing for the earlier one. which was kind of, yanno, a ****ing joke.
also i think it was De Jong, was going 2 hands in the back on everyone all night and got away with a bunch of them. i thought the ref did a good job, and can understand why VAR looked at the Roar goal. but geez that team gets away with some dog ass bullshit.
