And now his confidence is completely ruined. Poor way to deal with it

What about the VAR who fuck up...........................

The front on view
Victory player pulling arm back and interlocking right leg in front of SFC players left leg
SFC player off balance, Victory players hand in his back 
00:01 out stretched hand/arm of Victory player pushin SFC player forward
00:02 Victory player hands up "No Sir Not Me"  committed 2 fouls in the box IMO

5 screen shots show the process Screen Shoots

From Refs view I suspect its all based on the leg action, so checks the VAR to see if the foot trip he sees at full speed was in the box. 

Play it as a video and it looks nothing like that,  watch it ... the vast majority of people see it was wrong and most aren't surprised that the ref and var didn't fix it at the time cause we all saw what happened last season. 

It appears you doubt even know who played the game. 

Also if the shirt pulling was enough for a pen, was the propulsion of him letting go of the shirt what made him lunge forward cause thats fucking amazing.

Sorry got the Sky Blue team wrong - But made no mention of shirt pulling.      Foul

He fucked up twice.

Once for a wrong call. Second for having the chance to overrule his incorrect decision, which he didn't.

In the end, the VAR was there to say 'the supposed foul was inside the box', which it was.

I hate VAR and I think it should die, but the ref was in the wrong here.

Still no camera angles even remotely from the refs point of view

FFA not sticking up for the Refs making calls as they see it

I hope Ams has told them to get fucked

No mention of Ams being punished anywhere in the article

Hi everyone.

The cheating diving scum should be punished by at least 3 games.

I nicknamed him Fornarolling.

"The A-League has admitted referee Kurt Ams should not have awarded a foul to Bruno Fornaroli in Melbourne City's 2-1 derby win over Melbourne Victory on Friday night, a decision that led to a penalty and goal for the Uruguayan's team."

True

Rubbish.

He made a reasonable call ( Brown's contact inside the box with Fornaroli's leg who was already off balance).  FRAME 4

Fornaroli was off balance because of Baena's (?) arms and legs locking, and hand following through in the back also in the box. Frames 1,2 and 3

Victory lost the game not because of the ref, but because of Troisi, who still thinks he's a marquee.

double

In all of this debate, the thing which has got lost is the ineptitude of Brown, and the question of why did he attempt to tackle Fornaroli when there was no chance, repeat, no chance, of him getting anywhere near the ball. As a Brisbane supporter, I am very thankful that Victory took him off our hands this year. It was the first, but certainly won't be the last of his brain explosions that cost you points this year.

Anyway the result won't be over-turned and the game will not be replayed.

What the FFA coming out like this is will do is that Fornaroli for the next few rounds will not have illegal fouls called on him, and the refs will be on a hair trigger to book him for diving.  As happened with Arzani because the FFA is too scared of the "Socka players are soft divers".

This is a good outcome. Hold referees accountable for their ineptitude. 

After watching Barcelona v Inter mid week, its obvious that Uruguayans are some of the biggest cheats in world football. Floparolli's compatriot, Suarez, would fall over whenever the breeze hit him.

Shameful players and a disgrace to the game really.

2-0 Barca, wasn't it?

Brown does have a habit of getting in very poor positions when defending.  

Many in media in Melbourne saying he got of lightly.

Jon Faine on abc suggested a more fitting punishment would’ve been 100 paper cuts across the mouth of his bell end.

Only love reacts for Bruno Fornaroli

Probably him's just injured Honda

Yep,

Barca as a whole were just on another level. Even without Messi.

Didn't see this live but caught a replay quickly. Brown looked to be all over him from behind. If Fall'n'rolli gets touched in the box when it's 3v1 he'll go down. Brown is silly for not realising that.
Terrible of ffa to not back the ref ever but particularly here.
Also, Faine is anti football. He's a hockey player and a pompous toss pot to boot. His opinion is irrelevant.

You guys forgetting that Victory saved the penalty but were too lazy to follow into the box.....

He should be fired not dropped.

Without the VAR, it'd have been a free kick outside the box and probably no-one would've batted an eye lid about Ams performance

I do not trust this ref. Same ref who could sense Sydney would equalise in the semi final against MV and gave them all the time they needed. I was suspicious then and absolutely lacking in trust of him now. Sack him. He's an incompetent clown.

I don't trust any Ref in the A-League, especially the ones that are on as full time ripping the system and ripping teams of.

Nothing is going to make the refs better in Australia, not even having them on full time.

As for the likes of Fornarolling, the refs don't have the brains to work out that he is a cheating scum always ready to fall at the least opportunity, this is a blight on the game, especially the way football is looked at in Australia.

Keisuke Honda got pushed, shoved, and double teamed the whole game, never fell over like a pile of potatoes.

Some players have Integrity, some don't.
