Some could argue that they should have been in our starting XI and lesser quality players should be on the the bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Im no fan of the VAR, its been an unmitigated disaster imo. I do however think it was used 100% accurately and fairly last night however; the only issue people should have is comparatively with incidents from other games.

Will take a couple of years (globally) to iron out all the bugs. I think in the end the VAR ref will end up as a defect second on field ref and end up making decisions accordingly, as close to real time as possible and then letting the on field ref know. Its here and it will stay so the only thing that is possible to do is to try make it work. As with anything new there needs to be clearer lines drawn and modification of existing rules to make it work. I was never a fan of brining it in but probably not really anywhere else to go given that supporters and pundits seemed to forget that mistakes will be made and that the referees dont have access to multiple slow mo camera angles.

Sydney are out of sight, and the way Newcastle are going it will be hard to catch them for second. Likely means we will be jostling for third with Adelaide and Victory, but we don't have an easy run home and will need a few wins in the remaining 9 matches to do it.

Tommykins Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Kinda, sorta.

Looked to me as though Gulum made sufficient contact - as the last man he had to go. If that had been a City forward going down, we would have bayed for the red. As long as Adelaide don't come from behind to win the results this weekend will have been in our favour.

Harrison Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'm surprised that you both think that was a red card. Probably one of the softest fouls I've seen given in a long time, for a red card no less. To me that is clearly simulation. The reverse angle shows a very slight shoulder to shoulder graze before the attacker throws himself down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Its a genuine 50-50 for me, but if you call the foul you have to call the red. There's def contact there and you only need to be pushed off balance for that to be obstructing a clear opportunity, but there's no doubt the contact is minimal. One of those ones where you feel hard done by either way i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving it, even with Aloisi being the "architect" Both Sydney and the Victory get more home matches at the end due to ACL appearances.
