    Chiangrai United are in the TPL. If Bridge can handle the heat and humidity he should do well

    Arnold is a hopeless joke. Everything that goes wrong is always someone else's fault - referees, opposition coaches, the media... Now it is young players.

    He needs to have a long hard look in the mirror.

    Arny is an eternal twat. There's no changing that now

    I watched Glass v United 2 weeks ago. 8pm kickoff and I was dripping with sweat. Easily 33*C and massive humidity. No drinks breaks, yet these softies playing HAL want a rest in Perth

    I wonder whether Brisbane's troubles will accelerate the announcement of a Jets deal, simply for the perception of the FFA "propping up 2 teams at once"

    Thank you, Member.

    I hope it's in the boat-floating thread, not the gear-grinding one.

    Dave Carney copped a lot of flack from fans after he left, but fair credit where it's due here.

    A-League to trial video assistant referees in matches as part of FIFA experiment

    The A-League will be one of the first leagues in world football to trial video assistant referees in matches. Key points:


    • VARs will initially assess match-changing incidents without communicating with ref
    • Live experiments not expected to begin until beginning of 2017.
    • A-League, Germany's Bundesliga and MLS among leagues to begin VARs experiment


    A-League organisers, as well as leagues in Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and United States, will begin preparations for "offline" experiments with video assistant referees (VARs) before eventual live trials.

    The initial offline experiments will see VARs assess video replays and make calls on match-changing incidents, but without any communication with the on-field referee.

    Sanctioned by FIFA, the initial tests in the A-League and other participating leagues will be followed by a final test at the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2016, before live trials begin.

    The initial trials will have no impact on the game itself, until FIFA's International Football Association Board (IFAB) moves into the experiment into its live phase.

    Live experiments will only begin once participating leagues have had time to prepare, which is not expected until the beginnong of 2017.

    "The IFAB believes the best way to answer the question of whether the use of VARs will improve the game is to test it in different regions, so we are delighted to already have competitions across four confederations sign up," said IFAB secretary Lukas Brud.

    "The organisers of these competitions can now begin installing and testing video replay facilities as well as training match officials and technical staff in line with the protocol and in consultation with the IFAB and FIFA's Football Technology Innovation Department."

    Germany's Bundesliga, USA's Major League Soccer and Portugal's Primeira Liga are among the high-profile leagues to be taking part in the experiment.

    game changing incidents? checking offsides when the ball goes into the goal, fair enough. Trying to adjudicate on pen calls will be too messy.

    the death of old school football crowd will be livid

    Not a fan of this, bad calls are a part of the game. This won't stop bad calls, it just highlights them. Ask thugby league how that's going for them?

    Football games (like most sports) are often defined by mistakes - by referees, coaches and shock, players.

    Bring in a rule where players get hooked if they make a mistake. Why should refs always carry the can?

    I'm all for a NFL esque challenge system.
    Give them an extra sub, or leave it the same, if they challenge a play/call/decision and get it wrong, they forfeit their challenge.
    Would be interesting to see what they apply it to. If a ref calls offside, the play stops, if it's a wrong call, the affected team wouldnt get a chance to play out the rest of the play. Would we see a more lenient view/decision making process regarding offsides? Harsher penalty calls?
    I can see this getting very messy when they start challenging penalties.

    Or take control off of the teams and leave it up to the 4th official.
    Not really sure how they will implement it. Any more info on how?

    Just leave it the way it is. There's a reason football is played across the globe and survived for so long. I cannot stand rule changes.

    I agree with this. The problem with what is proposed is that it is a fine line between what is a big play worthy of review and what is not. Challenge Review system puts the onus back on the players to only appeal for what is a genuine mistake rather than appealing for the sake of it.

    Right now we lambast the refs for every mistake they make in the comfort of our lounge rooms and slow motion replays. Challenge system makes the players accountable as it puts refereeing mistakes in context if the players don't beleive enough to challenge.

    Challenge also limits the number of stoppages for this which to me is the biggest problem for any review system
