How the hell Australia can make VAR work but not England?

[@AdventuresofMeg]

unfortunately it's not that consistent

[@jamiem9712]

they can't make it work lol, something called an edit

[@sirtheodorethelll633]

Far far from working

[@louiswendt4371]

lol idk haha

[@tommydarko1984]

This one was fair, those challenges can be bone breakers and potential career enders. Whilst there has definitely been worse, they need to be stamped out. When it comes to those recent offsides by 0.5mm in the EPL, that's where you have to really start to question the VAR because it becomes farcical.

[@elanordeal2457]

agreed!!

[@paradox697]

As a referee I agree; if they are going to call offsides with VAR, it needs to be accurate. I was really impressed by the automated system used in the world cup, but with humans involved in the prem it always gets messy.

[@theproclubsany]

Only if this was in the Prem...

[@jonathangray9870]

Because we’re far less emotional about making an objective decision regardless of influence

[@kirillvorotnikov8259]

Amazing decision!

[@taqiahmed730]

Please bring it on England

[@timtamothy]

YOURE OFF YOURE OFF!!!

[@kalkedonyaf.k1160]

He forgot to cancel the yellow

[@HSimon1981]

Even though I am a Sydney supporter the call was correct

Hi

VAR is so annoying, but, I guess it helps...

[@conormccann8630]

VAR isn't annoying when it is used correctly

[@emilianograndebutera5010]

😱😱😱

[@kobakka1898]

Yeah Nathaniel Atkinson is my brother and if bone got broken I would of hated grant

[@glenncastell864]

How then did Mitch Duke not even get a yellow card for kicking out off the ball in the Adelaide v WSW game. Which was captured by VAR ???? Inconsistency which is what is was supposed to fix.....Destroying the game at warp speed !!

[@glenncastell864]

@@vika0194 Dude, it wasnt a yellow card.....If it cant be used for the purpose of off the ball incidents then whats the bloody use of it...Anyway i havent watched an A league game since the Adel v WSW game as im done with the garbage the game has become...

[@barteksvaberg4403]

Just to clarify (without having the incident you're talking about): VAR does not under the current FIFA regulations review yellow card incidents. They look at goals, penalties, offsides and mistaken identities.

@@barteksvaberg4403 Ive solved the VAR issue, i dont follow Football anymore..its a joke and i have lost all interest.

[@conorhartwell4019]

It was not reviewable according to the LOTG

[@atesinsan]

Offside rule still needs to amended to suit VAR CHANGE The Offside Rule to; 'a player is in an offside position when a player is *that player's full body's width* nearer to the opponent's goalline than both the ball & the second last opponent'.

[@mohadams3754]

Thats still as subjective as the current rule

[@dannylukic6536]

What a disgrace. If it were City or the Wanderers he wouldn't have even been sent off. Anti-Sydney bias at its finest, DOESN'T MATTER WE'LL WIN THE LEAGUE AGAIN ANYWAY 🥳💙🏆

[@samwassell01]

It's the a league mate, who cares

[@donkeyman9710]

@@samwassell01 you because you're watching this video

[@fp3728]

Daniel sarcasm surely. O'Donovan clear intentional elbow on the wanderers midfielder and only a yellow card . Not even any VAR intervention. No team gets more calls go against them in this league than the WSW.

Donkey Man the aleague has the shittest quality of football ive ever seen, watching paint dry is more entertaining
