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.Originally Posted by westjet
Kossie on the attack.....Bozza spouting excuses....."its here to stay"....ffs
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?
And with sponsors on board, it will be here to stay

It's a stain on society. **** it off!
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.

Exactly how is paying these cunce going to result in better refs???
Gillette Beath and co still be just as useless with extra money in their bank account each week
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 10
As long as humans are refereeing football games, on or off the field, we will never have 100% perfect decisions every game. That's why this doesn't work and should be scrapped immediately.
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.
Well said mate.
i wonder if it could easily be extended to determine if a ball crossed any line (goal line, byline, sideline etc). probably not, how would you know if a ball 15m in the air crossed the line?
Parkesy is right....whenever you cop a dodgy decision you don't really confirm it is dodgy till after the game when emotions have cooled. You still have the shits but it is gone and you move on. With VAR the confusion and anger are real and palpable and I can see someone taking a swing in frustration before long. 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.
