optus apparently making some moolah off the EPL rights.

OK - so the video technology gets brought in for Round 26 (I think we play Mariners then SFC). Fox showed KRJ testing the equipment in Perth the other night.

Thoughts? I admit I am not keen - let's minimise the mistakes by players, coaches and owners before we start harrassing the refs.

Ain't solving shit.

Ref got all 3 (non) penalty decisions correct in my opinion.

I could handle goal line technology as it doesn't seem to hold up play while the decision comes in.

Anything else is garbage.

Absolutely agree with everything as above. Look at the farce that is the NRL. Let the referees make judgement calls. They won't get every decision right, but even video technology isn't fool proof

Add me to this. As much as poor decisions cause us great amounts of stress and anger it's part of the beauty of the game. I don't want the complexity introduced by captains challenges, reviews of decisions, penalty calls on slow-mo replay looking for the faintest touch. Our games doesn't lend itself to a natural break in play and to do this would slow the flow and spectacle of the game because it can move on so quickly.

Refs have been ****ing things up dince the first game of football was ever played. It's part and parcel of the game. Besides, it gives us all something to whine about. Video for goal lines only.

If we want video involved use it to punish cheating/acting arse clowns that bluff referees every week with impunity. Charge them with bringing the game into disrepute and issue retrospective yellow cards. There are some players who would very quickly be having a week off without ever getting a card mid game.

The bit that got me, from the weekend, was that the first and third penalty shouts were the exact same thing.
Defender gets ball, then contact.
Funnily though, Andy Harper, one of the blokes clamouring for video review, says the first was a fair call, the other was wrong.

Even after viewing multiple replays he maintained that stance.

With bozos like that crying out for more technology it weakens their case considering they aren't watching the damn thing anyway.

Not one of those decisions on Saturday night would have been overturned by review.

Ive seen it a few times and to me If were going off consistency and what has been awarded already this season then the 3rd one was a penalty every day of the week

whats the diff between the 1st and 3rd in your opinion?

Ive only seen the third one hahaha Soz

[parksey]

third was a clear pen for me, from the angle i've seen.

first I'm not so sure, second definitely not.

And after months and months and months of this being such an important negotiation for Tv rights - 7/9/10 weren't interested and it looks likely to go to ABC.

Yay FFA.

[MFKS]

They were interested just not with the FFAs offer and price

The FFA don't want to go back to SBS as there are a couple of strained relationships there

Another example really of how these clowns are shooting this game in the foot really

[plague]

Meanwhile Facebook, twitter, amazon throwing money at sports rights like they are drunken sailors on shore leave and the FFA can't find their number coz it's not in the yellow pages.


Dopes.

Ten to show A-league games on One. also socceroos matches. 5 finals also.

starts this coming season, 7:30pm saturday game to be shown, only an additional $2m.

[belchardo]

so i think this would be up against the big bash on the same channel. can't see them giving it much exposure.

big bash would be on main channel. Aleague on ONE.

[belchardo]

yeah, understand that, just wondering how much effort they'll put into it - do i advertise a contest that could end at 0-0 with limited opportunity for ads, or do i advertise the show that guarantees fireworks and an ad every 2 minutes?

[MFKS]

Getting more exposure than on the arse end of viewing like SBS and C7

I don't see though what the fascination is with trying to convert dumb ****s to the sport

Let's just focus on our own shit and see what happens instead of catering towards ****s who quite frankly couldn't give a **** about wog ball

[The Dunster]

Does this mean the FTA Friday games are gone ?

[hawk]

How is it better than SBS? 1 game and a channel that noone will find
