R15 - F3 Derby #46 (Away)

[Pirate Pete]

My mate said the same at the beginning of the second half. I asked him if he had ever heard of Brian Flynn? He said no so i said well you know f**k all.............i told him about 60+ caps for Wales and more than 150 games for Leeds and a fan favourite at 5.2ft.....he then conceded that Maradonna and Messi are both midgets.
Who is the best player in Thailand..............Chanathip..................made a fool of Australia last time we played them and he is 5.1ft.

Size is irrelevant if you are good!!!!!

Congratulations. You remembered someone shorter than Billy Bremner. 5 foot 5 by the way.

Bremner captained Scotland and played 50+ games and 500+ for Leeds. A little Scottish legend and Nisbet is a Scottish name as well.

Well played the wee mon.

How many of you old Rugby League dinosaurs remember Tommy Bishop.

Just saying.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I remember him, so short he could head-butt opponents in the goolies without bending down.

Brisbane just copped a goal after a questionable missed offside call like we did.

Ours was toght, but not questionable.

VAR farce continues. Mulvey is right, fans are upset. Players can’t even make heads or tail of of it.

How hard is it to bloody say, we check offsides, goals, fouls in or around the box and any decisions that result in a send off.

Refereee does not adjudicate on his own decision after his first call.

Indeed. The link does work, trust me. It's just a gfycat link

It was definitely offside. Neither the broadcast nor the screen at the ground indicated a VAR review. So, much like a few decisions we've copped (such as the offside leading to Rowles' RC) it seems that the VAR inexplicably didn't even look at it, even though that's part of their mandate.

Young should definitely have been booked for his tirade too.

But once again, VAR has disgraced Australian football. It's become patently unfair - and it's the same muppet causing most of these problems.

Now, the question as to what's going on with that individual is one thing - and I'd hate to think there might be something untoward going on - but the bigger problem is why aren't FFA doing anything about it or holding them accountable for clear errors.

VAR has f**ked this sport. Almost no point playing - it seems to come down to who the VAR decided should win before the game even starts.

While I agree with the overall sentiment on VAR, it's meant to overturn 'clear and obvious errors' - the gif you've shared isn't one. He's not "definitely offside" as you've stated, it was close to in-line and that's based on a diagonal camera angle (and honestly, a questionably drawn offside line).

In summary, I'm fine with no action on the one you've shared but generally VAR's implementation and use has been poor, yes.

And all camera angles are to be taken into consideration...

Just noticed if we'd beaten the scum both times as we'd deserved to, they would be on 9 points and scrapping with the roar for the spoon. We'd be on 12....
