So victory have now won 2 toilet seats on the back of the referees whistle.

I think its important to also remember Arzanis no penalty call against the jets last week, so they have also had their share of luck.

Can you believe there are still A-league appologists out there who defend those running the world game in this country.

Im skeptical this statement is even true, more like a cover up pointing the finger at someone else.

Taken right out of the G Griffin playbook
Football Federation Australia (FFA) has conducted a review into the goal decision by the VAR during last night’s Hyundai A-League 2018 Grand Final between the Newcastle Jets and Melbourne Victory.

It has found that a technical failure in the VAR system meant that the Video Assistant Referee did not have access to the camera views which would have enabled him to make an offside ruling in the 9th minute goal scored for Melbourne Victory by Kosta Barbarouses.

FFA’s Head of Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League, Greg O’Rourke, said that according to the technology partner Hawkeye, the capture software that uploads the broadcast feed into the VAR system was partially lost 30 seconds before Victory’s goal due to a malfunction of software.

It was not until some minutes after the goal that this was restored, too late to change the decision on the goal as the game had restarted.

Under VAR regulations, where there is no clear evidence to the contrary, the on field decision – in this case allowing the goal – stands.

The camera feed to broadcaster’s FOX SPORTS, which is routed separately, was not affected.

“We are extremely disappointed at this failure of the VAR technology,” O’Rourke said, “And we understand the disappointment and frustration of the Newcastle Jets, their fans and indeed all football fans.

“VAR was introduced here and in other parts of the world as a technology based solution to correct the human errors that inevitably are made from time to time when officials are making judgements in split seconds.

“On this occasion the technology itself failed and the broadcast angles required were unavailable. We are working with Hawkeye to thoroughly understand why it did and what can be done to prevent this happening again.

“Whilst we understand that this happened only once this season it was at a most critical time. All parties desire the technology to be failure proof and that is what we will be striving for.”

“This is important not just for the Hyundai A-League but for other leagues around the world and for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia at which VAR will be used for the first time,

Sorry guys, it was the incompetent VAR software that didn't overrule our incompetent referees. We won't be doing anything to prevent it in the future though....


Maybe would have been better if they said nothing at all.

“...this happened only once this season...”

Interesting.

He cannot mean that only once a mistake was made that VAR failed to identify and overturn, for I saw this occur almost weekly, and often on multiple occasions on a weekend.

Could he be referring to the software failure? Possibly, but I suspect it failed on previous occasions, which would explain some of the bizarre decisions that weren’t addressed each week.

No, the thing that he refers to is FFA’s admission that there was an error. This has happened only once this season, and it was today.

The VAR doesn’t work. The FFA doesn’t work.

FFA is fine.

VAR needs a lot more work. I can't believe that even without Hawkeye the Video Assistant Referee couldn't see that it was offside (unless his screen was just completely blank).
In general I think the VAR has improved over the course of the season, with the exception of these two critical incidents in the most important games of the year - the Arzani penalty and the MV offside.
