No Im saying it was but if there was a VAR pro-Sydney conspiracy and thats the only reason we get results, then VAR would have overturned a deadset penalty against Sydney FC in a game against their biggest rival

Very selective this conspiracy.

Iknowbest is a sore loser and a sore winner it seems.

The point I am making is that FFA and VAR bunker need to go to Canberra so that we can end this bias.
It is a point best made after a win.
It is a point very difficult to argue against and so far nobody has even tried.

So moving the room where the video assistant referees sit and conduct their work from Sydney to Canberra is going to stop the FFA from telling the referees to give favourable decisions to Sydney FC?

Move FFA too.
Football in Australia is too Sydney centered.
It is hurting the growth of the game.

I do find it funny that any Victory fan would talk about the VAR when it helped them win a grand final.

Can anyone argue why FFA (and the VAR) should not be based in Canberra?
(I would settle for anywhere but Sydney).

Everybody is very quiet on this point!

Poor deflection.
We have Canberra so Sydney people to do not completely become full of themselves.
(Dubbo would be better than Sydney).

Come on Sydney people you are losing this argument.
At least try to give a reason why FFA is in Sydney over Canberra.

Your argument is falling apart.If FFA/VAR is so bias to Sydney whats moving where theyre located going to do? 

And why should it be in Melbourne. If you argument is it cant be in sydney because of supposed and very tenuous conflict of interests it cant be anywhere where theres an a-league club or potential a-league club.

Seriously that is your reply?

Lets just stick with Canberra.
You know Canberra don't you?
The place that was created because Sydney people love themselves just a bit too much.

So youve failed to prove that there is an actual FFA/VAR conspiracy for Sydney, youve failed to say how this relates to the headquarters being located in Sydney (or western sydney for that matter) but somehow suggest moving these headquarters will solve the conspiracy whilst also ignoring the fact that FFA are paying for a melbourne player (if there was a conspiracy or conflict of interests its that but its not) and now with your argument falling apart youre just mentioning Canberra alot but if there was some connection between FFA/VAR headquarters and city bias (which you have yet to prove) it would be silly to move them to canberra when canberra could have a team in the league and would have to them move the headquarters again. 

Loving the lack of logic!

If FFA set up in Canberra and then a team is created in Canberra and then that team get so many decisions from FFA, the refs and VAR that people are being turned off the game because there is a possible Canberra bias then you have a point.
A this point in time, I am willing to say the odds are not in the favor of all those things happening and if they do then we will have to deal with it.

Canberra was created for a reason. It is a valid reason. Perhaps you have to live outside of Sydney to understand that reason.

In a couple of years Melbourne will be bigger.
(Thanks for a least trying to give a logical reason).
Sydney and Melbourne are too similar in many ways when it comes to population.
Hence the need for Canberra for administration bodies.

For football to make it big in Australia it needs that situation to change.
Melbourne sees football as a sport run from Sydney. The Sydney bias probably comes in part from that fact.
While that is the situation AFL will continue to rule here.
(AFL is such a rubbish sport, Football will be bigger one day, but some things need to change first. Football is winning over Rugby. Football needs to start thinking more long term. Losing the Sydney centric thinking and Team 11 would be a good start).

The fact that we won allows this discussion.
And as I have said above it is a bias not a conspiracy theory. There is an important dfference.
Whilst you deflect with comments like that I continue to win (just like MV did yesterday).

What hard evidence do you have, to say that there is a clear and definitive bias towards Sydney FC in the first place? 

If you don't then it is a theory. plain and simple. Examples of the different times VAR and FFA have supposedly given SFC a benefit, don't count.

for what its worth, I'm a Victorian, and have a soft spot for Victory, although I don't follow one particular team. 

You're clutching at straws.

You clutch at straws when you are losing. You do not clutch at straws when you are winning.
Go to some of the other football forums, listen to some podcasts and have a read on-line about how people view football in Australia. 
The SFC bias is a pretty common opinion.  It will continue while FFA are based in Sydney for no good reason.

Hardly Sydney Bias

FFA just paid for Honda to help out Victorys regular under-achievement

Closed HAL is failing with 10 teams
Closed HAL failed with 11
FFA forced to try a 12 team Closed HAL thatll just create 2 more mid table also-rans
and still this weird 16-team panacea gets trotted out.

Why should the FFA spend a whole lot of money through moving to Canberra to satisfy a few morons in Melbourne who have a chip on their shoulder over Sydney? 

Should they sack anyone at the FFA from Sydney as well?

Melbourne sees football as a sport run from Sydney. The Sydney bias probably comes in part from that fact.
While that is the situation AFL will continue to rule here.
(AFL is such a rubbish sport, Football will be bigger one day, but some things need to change first. Football is winning over Rugby. Football needs to start thinking more long term. Losing the Sydney centric thinking and Team 11 would be a good start).


Absolutely it needs to change.  Instead of there being 75k registered players in Victoria there needs to be 250k to match NSW and the ACT at 4% of the population being registered players.  What are you doing about it?  No use being on here playing silly buggers when you could be out growing the game.  Just imagine Victoria producing enough players out of that lot to have the Victorian A-league, 2nd Division and NPL clubs full of Victorians.  It would be a new experience for you all and you might even get more than 1 Director elected to the FFA Board.
