The Nix have coped some shocking refereeing from VAR over the years. This game is right up there. Useless ref and useless VAR.

Seriously.. whoever is in VAR is trying their absolute hardest to move that line as far forward as they can so we don’t get a penalty

How does he an extra 80 seconds on top of the 4 minutes it's supposed to be?

the EFL is looking at scrapping VAR offside calls as they are so shocking. The A League should do it right now.

The bullshark VAR went that long into the added time.

I wonder how big the envelope was. VAR bought, Evans is just an inconsistent idiot who cant get the cards out fast enough. look at his game last weekend to back that comment up. 

The Nix are not playing that great but you cant beat 13.

What the fudge is going on. The officials have lost it.

Pennington is on side when the pass is played and in the box when fouled. Even the one eyed commentators can see it.

If you look at what has happened in various Premier League games such as the Liverpool one and then consider that impact on betting syndicates…They’ve got a guy in a box who can go back and erase goals. Better than the hassle of spot fixing in cricket or whatever!

Officiating aside we are lucky to still be in this game. Need to really lift second half and stop gifting them the ball. They are the sort of side that might crack if you take the fight to them.

No shots at all with a 0.0xg is bloody terrible though, need to do a lot more in the second half. Can't leave this up to the daft prick in the middle of the pitch.

Not sure how we are still in this. Hope we can keep causing havoc. But feel like we aren’t finishing this game with everyone on the field. 
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

Noticed that none of the halftime talking heads mentioned the Kraev call. Probably because they can't praise the Victory in the same sentence

We were second best that half
 That's not on the ref but on us. We were poor going forward.

Half time show all about how Vic have squandered their chances. And the 0 0 0xg for us.

We'd normally be down a goal or two, but part of it is that we have defended well again. And that we do conjure danger out of little.

Do the refs access at half time the decision making. Because nothing is going our way. Some shoking calls

I know it's easy to look at our lack of teeth.  But it can't be understated the impact of that early yellow. 

We got fouled and got a yellow card for diving.  If we do anything remotely close to 50/50 we could be down to 10 men.  The players would be silly to do anything aggressive or risky.

Given the VAR didn't look at the obvious pen, then overturned our pen, it's not gonna be our night so they have to be annoyingly careful with everything.

Gee that zoomed-in offside call really cleared things up. Did it take them 20+ minutes to crop it in MS Paint?!

 XG of .79 for Victory is also awful for all their dominance. We are playing classic away team pinch a goal football. Not a fan personally but im not the coach

Its a push in the back.

Ah, there was no fudging push. 

It's a hand ball. 

Ah, it was off his fudging shoulder. 

Fudge I should be a ref because I've got 10x the clues these guys have.

That he is a 160 game veteran tells you all you need to know about the standard of officiating in the A League.

Wait so the Victory player hit the ground and the ref said nothing in it?  Where's the fudgeing yellow for diving?

I love Chief’s sub of Old and Ball for Pennington and al Taay. Shows intent and defenitely a type of sub uffie wouldn’t have done last year. Last year uffie would have bought on another centre back at this time

It looks so damn good when they get it right. Just need to make it more consistent now.
