Hah crutches and a moon boot, yet he somehow made it onto the pitch. Lazy afternoon up in Gosford, it seems.

Only at CCM could there be a pitch invader on crutches, it's pretty ******* hard core for their support to be fair.....

my bad i saw him but then the camera panned away and the commentators said this is getting nasty and the crowd gasped, was curious what happened there i suppose he was already on crutches so he had that going for him

It's been said many a time before,  how does Grant not have a card yet? I've counted 5 fouls and I'm not sure I've noticed all of them. The ref hasn't even said anything to him.

Wearing a pair of NRL shorts and either a Australian Cricket or Rugby Union shirt. 

Typical Gosford.

Only thing missing was a bottle of grog wrapped in a brown paper bag and you have the full Gosford...

I think he's finishing the grog before the game.

santalab on! God I miss u sexy man

Lol red card...... another VAR classic

[Edinburgh]

Red card for Lowry after VAR, wasn't even a foul!

[mack]

Castro equalises, and with it, WSW go back to 8th spot. 

[WHACKO]

I just don't know. #everything                ( VAR   Very Average Refereeing)

[btron3000]

Possibly the worst VAR decision so far, and there’s been some howlers.

Unbelievable that they continue to get this so wrong.

No it’s not

The worst VAR decision so far has either been our derby goal disallowing or the two or three red cards given last season for “off the ball contact with an opponent’s face”

 

The way I saw it, Lowry came in, missed the tackle, and then kicked out to trip the player

He contacted studs up with the side of the opponent’s shin

Like, at the very least, it’s a foul 

[btron3000]

There’s absolutely no evidence to suggest he did that on purpose. He was sliding and his leg came up. It’s only anally retentive referees that think this is a foul, let alone a red.

Regardless of whether people think it’s a foul, is it a clear and obvious error that requires VAR? Is it a play that the game should be stopped for? No way in hell.

[btron3000]

The best question to ask for any VAR intervention is “had play continued without VAR, would anyone be outraged?”

The answer here is as clear a NO as you can get.

Horrible, horrible call.

He wasn't even tackling anyone!  He slid in to get the ball, which he did, before an opposition player was even in sight, cleaned up his teammate in the process and his momentum took him towards the late arriving opponent who then turned [to follow the ball?] and then there was contact.  I'd probably be pushing it to suggest the opponent caused the contact, but ...

Here's the official review. Incorrect outcome by the match officials and MRP

Ben Wilson's explanation

As a result of the melee, the referee communicated to the VAR that he was going to caution Stefan Mauk and Jordan Elsey. The VAR informed the referee that it was actually Taylor Regan who put his hand on the face of Mauk. Following discussion with the VAR, the referee decided to give Regan a second yellow card for unsporting behaviour and sent him from the field. Stefan Mauk was also cautioned.

In the Referees Department’s weekly post-round review (involving FFA’s senior referee coaches and myself), it was determined that the correct outcome should have been for the VAR to recommend an on-field review and Regan should have been shown a direct red card for his conduct.

Paul, I think I read the official review/response of the Lowry red card somewhere on the forum. Which is the incident my comments relate to. Your response above relates to an incident in a different match. Am I  missing something?

This was for the Regan incident. The explanation is they made a mistake not awarding a straight red. Regan would have got 2 weeks instead of 1 for the double yellow.

This weekend, there should have been 3
