Love it out here.

Very beautiful now we have had a very good dose of rain.


Was pretty bad before it. Worried we would be smashed by bushfires.

Went through the 83 Ash Wednesday bushfires in the Adelaide Hills, almost lost my sister and all my friends on a school bus on Greenhill Rd just before 6 cars were incinerated. Don’t wish bushfires on anyone. I get dagger eyes if I see cigarette butts thrown out car windows.

So will we get 4 event games in a row ****ed by the VAR?

It may well get suspended by Tuesday night or changed to just offside calls.

Doubt the FFA will concede, VAR just has to stop directing the ref to every technicality and only be used for obvious errors which was its original intent in the first place.

The "like" is for the FFA wont concede.

Hopefully and independent A-League will kill it.
Hopefully it wont be to late.

Exactly right. Use it for offsides - those decisions are black and white. Use it for serious foul play / violent conduct. Use it for instances when a reasonable person can say no foul has occurred (a dive for instance or the penalty in the Melbourne derby last week). Don't examine every little technical detail involved in a buildup to a goal ffs. The only way that goal should have been disallowed was if Sotirio smashed Zullo in the face with a swinging elbow. That's the level of obviousness needed for VAR to get involved in that scenario for me.

Not so black and white as we have seen in the past.

Prefer just the on field guys. Can handle the odd mistake from them in the moment.

But from guys getting replays etc? **** no. Waste of money and time.

Offside isn't always black and white but if a player is just off than I'm OK in letting that slide benefit of the doubt etc.. But if they are deadset obvious off like as a body length than yeah use it! That's the type of obvious I'm talking about!

Bozza said it in his rant its effecting peoples lives, what I took out of that is that it's getting to the point where now you can't even celebrate a goal anymore just in case it end up getting the VAR treatment! I was asking people around me last week (while we where celebrating) when Honda scored "is it all clear no VAR check?" That's sad don't you think that's its come to that point?

Is VAR actually in the FFA Cup final?
It's not in the normal games.

We dont seem to have any issues in them either.

Losing a couple ourselves.

Hopefully no VAR.

[hey shorty]

That we can both agree on

 

[Colonial]

Game day!

No VAR to **** it up.

2 sides with 2 stars missing each.

Hopefully a good game.

Good luck to the Reds and hopefully the Skyblues can go back to back.

Should be a cracking night for it, I know de Jong is out for you guys, whose the other one ??

 

[Colonial]

Buhagiar who is a striker.

Talented.

Hard to see many goals in this game with Blackwood and Diawara N/A.

Extra time could be on the cards.
