Thanks for clarifying, tbh I would rather just the blanket English approach of no replays in the ground, except goals.

Stuff that. Just replay everything. What are we going to do? Riot? Even those well hardcore Victory supporters couldn't do anythibg worse than throw some bottles so whats the worst that can happen? 

So incredibly annoying looking at the big screen to find out what the foul was for or just what the fuck happened and be met by some lame marketing message.

It's FFA policy not to show contentious calls on the big screen. What is and is not contentious is the call of the local operator however, and so there are different interpretations. After the Finkler no-goal AAMI Park was ultra-cautious.

Unbelievable that they decided to show that, but won't show Ben Garrucio accidentally tripping over a Pheonix player in front of 26 travelling Wellington fans.

It definately was policy in the early days of  the A-League where there extremely careful about showing anything that might be controversial.

But I though that had been relaxed until it reared its head in this game.

Given the way those Muppet's react to the slightest decision / component, I think they should replay everything.

Imagine how many points that shitty club would lose due to their knob supporters for crowd trouble 👍

Yeah they're not the most well adjusted and reasonable bunch are they.

I just think it's so patronising and condescending from the FFA towards its own crowds that they can't be trusted to watch a replay of anything that could possibly be controversial. Instead of promoting accountability for player actions and referee decisions by allowing us to see the footage they instead try to keep it a big secret as if we can't be trusted to make our own judgement without cracking a tantrum like a 5 year old.

I did notice however how one eyed supporters can be (as per any team) and think if they show it on the big screen it will calm some people if the refs where right

Perfect example was when Bruno's goal was disallowed when Garrucio ran into an offside position in the first half. In live action it was difficult to see why it was called but as soon as the replay showed Garrucios error it verified a very good call. 

I think all replays should be shown but I can understand fully why many feel the opposite.
