Australian Football Stuff - not worthy of a thread

That match was a joke. Especially after WSW went 3-1 up but realistically as you said they should have been playing with 10. VAR didn’t have the guts to make the right call.

I honestly thought Georgievski was going to have a stroke. All the refereeing ineptness was forgiven just for that moment.

Spiro came on for Western whatevers and had an absolute shocker. Can see why Rudan wasnt playing him

From what I remember the ref was telling the Adelaide players he didn't see the Duke kick. Or at least that's how it seems.
Is the VAR even allowed to tell the ref to book or send someone off. I know the VAR is no longer allowed to upgrade a card from yellow to red.
Unlike in England where the VAR does upgrade cards.
Does the FFA still look at the game next week and bring charges?

They can and should have at least told the ref to have a look. I don’t think the ref could look and issue a yellow though.

If they think it is a red they can. If they thought it was a yellow then I don't think so - at least outside the box. TBH I would have given the free-kick to WSW for the foul by Halloran and given them both yellows.

snake not on the field showed him on the side line in the 60 minute , gold .

I'm not sure about he VAR telling the refs to issue cards. I'll see if I can find out.
I know this season they can't tell the ref to upgrade yellow to red.
But yes you're correct, both should have been booked at least.
If the ref had seen the incident Duke should have been sent off.

That was a pretty bad game outside of that last 10 minutes. Draw a good result for us though.

Now I'm confused. Grant yellow upgraded to red
I thought they'd stopped that in the A league this season.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I'd guess it was a clear and obvious error - horrible tackle and the ref should have given a red to start with. Few weeks coming for Grant

Kurt Ams upgraded Rhyan Grant`s yellow to a red on the advice of the VAR.
First time he`s been sent off (first time he got caught more like it)...

 

[pjennings]

Even Slater said he used to do it when he was younger. VAR finally caught up to him.

 

[turbo]

Remember when they all came down hard on Rowles like it’s the worst tackle they’d ever seen and then last night poor Grant might still be concussed and it’s all you can’t do that but we sympathise.

Our guys snubbed. Good for us but rough for them.

A lot of OS players I'm not totally familiar with. Hopefully it will be easy to be able to watch the games and nothing has been provided on this to date, only TBC.

about time that protected species got one

 

[BrisRecky]

Re the Grant red card...did you hear that rampaging f**ktard Mark Bosnich babbling on how about how Smurf’s playing the rest of the game without mega mullet was the bravest thing ever in A -League history ...I nearly f**king puked when i saw that ...I even tweeted the fool and told him he was delusional

No punch ups but the second half was a ride.
