Yeah,
Some main referees would overturn the video-assistant-referees’ suggestion. To my memory, I have seen Alex King overturned two VAR’s suggestions.
The problems is: “The video-assistant-referees are the good colleagues or even mentors of the on-field main referees. As such, the main referees tend to not upset the VAR’s suggestions”.
Would A-Leagues fans rather talk about VAR, or the football on the pitch?
VAR had been debated ever since its introduction. But the whole process is to be done again.
The basic reason for VAR is that “The whole world can watch through big screens or TVs what happens while the main referee in field cannot”.
There are two handy examples for the above. (1) Maradona’s hand of God; (2) Henry’s hand ball in the 2010 World Cup qualification playoff between Republic of Ireland and France.
The problem is, eventhough the main referees can watch the screen through the VAR system now, they still make mistakes.
VAR had revealed the bad referees in Australia and UK. As such no Aus referees were in the 2018 WC. And for the first time in 80 years, there were no British, Scotish, Welsh and Northern Irish referees at the 2018 Russia WC.
Would A-Leagues fans rather talk about VAR, or the football on the pitch?
Yes, you are right.
However, VAR is just a system. Referees have just not used the system correctly.
The referees (main referees and video assistant referees) are at fault. It is not the VAR system is at fault.
The best usage of VAR system has become for exposing the bad decisions made by bad referees.

Not many fans wanted to talk about O’shea’s red-card sending off. Likely, fans have got use to the poor VAR-Referee decisions.
Then, to be consistent, Wood was sent off similarly.
*** Here, people complain VAR, wanting to remove it. However, this issue had been fully discussed long ago (few years ago).
***** It is NOT the VAR at fault. It is the referees at fault.
***** VAR is a tool. It’s usage is depending on the referees. At chef uses his knife in his kitchen while a bad guy may use his knife to rob.
******* Australian referees were so bad that FIFA did not select one into the 2018 World Cup. Remember? That was very obvious that VAR had shown the bad decisions by Australian referees. Do you remember?
********* The best use of VAR has become for revealing the referees’ poor decisions.
Conclusion:
VAR is a system. It is just a tool.

Yeah, I do not like 48 teams too.
Socceroos finally get Harry's head in the game as they advance to Asian Cup's last eight after early struggles
Yeah, may be!
But I think the Japanese coach is cunning enough.
Also, Iran’s group stage results are not very convincing.
Anyway, we are speculating.
Thank!

Socceroos is to play Saudi on Saturday because Korea could not even beat Malaysia easily in the match ending with a result of 3-3.
That will be a very difficult match for Socceroos to take on a top Asian team, Saudi, in Middle East. They will play like playing home with huge fans support.
Hope the match tomorrw has extra time to make Saudia and Korea players tired to death. Then with the turn around of just 2 days, they will not match Socceroos on Saturday.

Brisbane Roar’s weakness is well known.
So, CCM just parked the bus even played a home match. Two counter-attacks won.
Very sure that all A-league coaches know the weaknesses of Brisbane Roar.
Jackson leads Mariners revival, Wood red card ruins Big Blue, Arnie lashes A-League
You can tell by the very small number of posts on the poor referees because fans are numb.
How can O’shear’s and Wood’s red card be valid?
It looks like there is no accident in soccer any more. Whenever a boot on shin or ankle, it is a red-card punishment.

Thank Garry!
I am learning.
Would you tell the difference between match fit and good form? I thought they are similar.
'I'm over it': Arnie doubles down on A-League frustration
Socceroos could only draw with a team with players mostly from a low domestic league in Uzbekistan by a dubious penalty.
So, Arnold just changed the focus.

Why starting the season earlier is better for chosing players into the Socceroos squad?
Does it mean the players are fitter? However, Bruno Fornaroli is picked as he is in good form.
Is it because that Clubs do not let go the players? No, FIFA restricts that.
I do not understand.

Wake up this morning to find Socceroos to match Indonesia in the first knock out game. Should win.
However, in the next stage of quarter final. Socceroos have to meet South Korea or Saudi Arabia.
But these two Asian Cup giant have only two days to rest before meeting Socceroos who have 4 days to ease up.
It will be a difficult task for both Saudia and South Korea to fight to the death on 30 Jan, then encounter Socceroos after a short time of 2 days for re-energising.
Should Socceroos pass to the quarter final, they will play either Tajikistan, UAE, Iraq or Jordan. Seemingly, these 4 teams are not as strong as Saudia Arabia or South Korea.
Thus, Socceroos should be able to reach the finale in which anything can happen.

What is football?
– a sport
– a club
– a game
– a business
– a money laundering entity
– a tax evasion tool
– a toy for rich people
– publicly traded company in stock market
(like Manchester United)
– an entertaining organisation
If you agree with all the above,
football is
– a MONSTER

Tomorrow night, Uzbekistan will park the bus and see how the counters (Syria vs India) do.
The reason being that Uzbekistan can be the second on tha table if they draw.

There are so many controversies in Brisbane Roar.
+Corey Brown sacked then re-employed.
+Jez Lofthouse: some fans and coaches like him, some not.
+Trani bought his student (Lethlean who is very young and has no A-league experience) and played him immediately.
+Ross Aloisi: started well, then left.
+Left Suncorp then returned
It is like watching a circus.
Davila plays starring role in 100th A-League start as Macarthur beat Brisbane for first win in seven games
Ben Cahn is 35.
Isn’t he the youngest A-league head coach ever?
According to a report, he has got A-lience.
However, when coaching, all of his 5 finale experiences were failure.
