With VAR madness snatching the headlines once again, here is how Australia reacted during Saturday night's Sydney Derby.
Another derby and another game ruined by more VAR controversy.
After Roly Bonevacia's goal for the Western Sydney Wanderers was chalked off following VAR and match referee Chris Beath's conversation, fans from all over Australia spoke their mind.
Wanderers coach Markus Babbel was quickly sent to the stands, becoming the first Head Coach to receive a red card in the A-League.
Here's how the Australia reacted...
3pts and another #SydneyDerby chalked up. But that WSW goal should have stood.

Any @NRL fans who complain about the bunker should watch the @ALeague. The VAR is embarrassing. #SydneyDerby

if you wanna watch some Australian football that isn't ruined by VAR, tune into Fox/Viceland or buy tickets and come along to the @WLeague :) #SydneyDerby

Really, what's the downside to dropping the VAR, and admitting it hasn't worked? #SydneyDerby

Babbel perfectly within his rights to just keep going and get on a plane to Germany to get away from this bollocks. #ALeague #SydneyDerby
