    From a Fox Sports article quoting Ben Wilson (head of clowns/referees in Australia) -
    the A-League is committed to seeing the trial through until FIFA and IFAB, the International Football Association Board that governs the rules of the game, makes a call on the trial in March 2018, which will include a decision on if it will be used at the World Cup.

    The same guy said on the Fox Football podcast it has only been involved in reviewing 9 decisions in 39 matches so far.

    If that's the case, why is it continuously showing "Macca's VAR Check" in the top corner every time there is a decision to be made?

    I think I just answered my own que$tion.

    Yeh I saw that too. Must mean when the decision is actually overturned or reviewed further on the Maccas iPad, presented by Coca-Cola Amatil, in assosciation with Kraft

It has not reduced controversy, only increased it - when did you last see a weekend with this much controversy in one hit?
    Good point. Even though I was stoked with Maccarone's disallowed goal against us up in Brissy, I don't think anyone would have known he was offside because it happened well before the goal. All it did was cause controversy when we would have been none the wiser - then you have the issue that if someone is offside in the lead up to a corner, and they score off the corner what's the difference? Can of worms etc..

    What would have happened the other day if while the VAR was running its check on the handball, Adelaide then scored from the attack they subsequently launched (ended up being a corner)?

    Would the ref then have to go back to the original incident and call the penalty - if they want to be anal about it they should, if not what would have happened to Cornflakes?

    There are so many scenarios that are to be played out over the coming years if this thing stays.

    Only difference I was thinking was what if the same team had the pen turned down and then got the goal?

    dumb question time - does the ref have to initiate it or can the VAR intervene whenever it feels like something has been missed?

    think the VAR has a look and alerts the ref if they think there is something there.

    Yeah I don’t imagine the ref had any idea about Maccarone’s offside to even ask the question.

    We're not the only ones who don't like it.

    BUNDESLIGA fans are demanding the end of video assistant referee (VAR) testing in Germany as the system’s German league chief was replaced on Monday amidst accusations of influencing matches.

    The VAR is being trialled this season in Italy and Germany with football’s governing body FIFA yet to decide whether it will be used at June’s World Cup in Russia.

    In Germany, the VAR experiment has sparked controversy and debate with ‘Cologne’ - the centre where all scenes are reviewed - widely blamed for unfavourable rulings and a byword for a place where bad decisions are made.

    Judging by fans’ banners at top-flight grounds around Germany at the weekend, most supporters want VAR scrapped immediately.

    On Monday, magazine Kicker ran the headline “Only Losers: Irritation, sanctions, wrong decisions” on it’s cover next to an image of a referee showing a red card.

    VAR makes the decision that was obvious to everyone but the timid officials.

    Thank you VAR. Linesman called offside but for ref to check. Would have been ruled out without video.
