I still think the VAR is stupid and ruins the game.

Def penalty, arm was up, away from the body and blocked a goal bound shot.

And we scored a penalty WTF

I fudgeing hate this VAR BS. Would rather the occasional wrong call than all this fudgeing around, even when it goes in our favour

That's not a penalty. Look at the speed the ball is moving and the distance it has to travel before it hits the defender's arm. The defender can't avoid the ball unless he goes out of his way to keep his arms at his side.

How so? Shot looked like it was going to be on target, arms away from the body. 

I don't see how it can't be. 

Surprised the ref couldn't call it to be honest...

Smashed into his arm from a metre away, and his boot was high - don't think that was a pen, but will take it.

He was off balance trying to reach for the ball, you can't do that and keep your arms by your side, and you don't have to.

Rossi has worked his way into the game well. Good to have him back.

Much more clearcut than the VAR for a pen that Perth copped recently. Smashed into defender's arm behind his back from 2 yards, was given.

Then it was bad defensive positioning to begin with. You can't have your arm away from the body in front of a shot regardless of intention.

you're not complaining anymore....

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Fudges sake we're sitting deep, inviting pressure and wasting attacks. Keep your heads in it lads

Shot being on target is irrelevant. Arms away from the body is only one factor and has to be in an unnatural position. Debatable as to whether that's the case when a player is jumping.

Ref should also be taking into account the speed at which the ball was travelling and the distance the ball had to travel before striking the player.

Have not seen shirtless Patrick in the stands (with 10 min to go) in a long time. Finally this time.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

That's fantastic play by Parkhouse; has put in quite a few good crosses since coming on.

Tell you what, Kalu has hugely exceeded my expectations already. Based on my memory of him at Roar I didn't think he would get 5 goals all season.

To be fair to Watson, he wanted the ball earlier, Parkhouse held on too long. But it is a bad habit of his.
