Are Fox Sports commentators being enticed with bonuses if they say 'oh my goodness' after goals?
Robbie only said ''oh my goodness'' because of who scored City's goal to put them in front.

I figured that, but we'll see throughout the season...

Victory were woeful 2nd half.
deserved the win off that just useless

Always silly playing the derby first round, always takes two rounds to blow off the cobwebs and see the skill shine through. On balance though city had the better of the game, they looked more in control on the ball while victory just threw the kitchen sink. Penalty call was right, you see those calls paid all over the pitch, the foul wasn't in question rather where it took place.

Looking forward to VAR getting blamed for a refereeing error.

The foul was absolutely in question! I’m actually blown away that anyone could even think that was a foul.

Refeering standards in this country needs a lot of work, glad City won in the end.
Time to watch EPL.

Ah well, s**t happens. We lost the first derby last season and won the title. Finals is what counts.

The ref and Fornaroli can both gagf!
Seriously How do you reward an obvious dive with a freekick and then upgrade it to a penalty? Thought the VAR was suppose to eliminate diving campaigners not reward them! ******* joke!

You telling me you can see a foul? please point to where?
It’s just Frustrating like I mentioned in a post above the VAR was suppose to eliminate the diving not reward it!
the ref could have overturned the freekick he had enough time to assess the footage and realise he made a mistake instead he rewards the cheating diving scum with a penalty. Gutless!
And yes I know we where fortunate in last seasons GF due to the VAR not working at the time, that was massive stuff up on a different level. But after seeing how good and fluient the VAR worked at the World Cup it just tells me the refs here are the problem not the system.

That ball to McGree was a thing of beauty, and we saw a bit of Vintage Eugene too.
Still, what a debacle.

im ok if there was contact, if thats the explanation.
Then why did the ref not award free kicks to both sides at every contest during the game?

Haha matches will never finish if even a slight touch is deemed a freekick! The A-League FFA whatever are just trying to justify it somehow but again it’s only making them look like a bunch of incompetent knobs!!

If we can stay fit this season including Ola I think we can do some real damage. Honda looked next level already and I'd say he's still a fair way off 100%.

I'll be interested to see how he goes when the weather warms up and teams start hacking him. Did look good though.

I think he'll adjust accordingly, the guy was a level above everyone else on the park last night and he's not even at 100%
