I don't think people should calm down and move on. I think the club should demand answers. The Phoenix have been on the end of some horrific VAR decisions, enough to call it a trend, and here's another four in one game.

The first red / second yellow card is absolute nonsense. A-league referees never give that the other way. The second red card is everything wrong with football. Burgess was fairly aggressive, beyond what's normally acceptable when players square up. They're either both reds or neither reds.

Even the first penalty, I'll concede the fan footage shows it hit his left-hand. Not a chance in hell that is given the other way around - the defender's back is turned and his arm is as down to the side as it can be.

Just total nonsense all around.
