Alireza Faghani (Syria vs Austrlia ref)

[DJPedram]

I just watched the highlight:

Was this really a penalty?
Why is AFC so stupid. The only reason why Syria got into playoff is because they tied against Iran. Then AFC goes and puts an Iranian ref for their match against Australia. That stupidly to the fullest.

[Nokhodi]

He missed a penalty before that. Iranians and their conspiracies.

Move this into my thread and help me make the same point

[enikoravesh]

just wait for the match in aus. is timmy cahill gonna play the 2nd leg?

[persiangodfather]

Shame

[ehsan singapore]

i saw it , it was a 50-50 peanlty, he didnt give the one before, but syria played well second half to be frank

[perspolis#1]

Ive seen softer penalties given and harsher fouls not given.

[pres80]

It was a soft penalty for sure but watch the replay, the ausie player makes contact into him in the air which is a foul.

Draw was probably a fair result as well to be honest, faghani was actually very good in this game, he came out stern and used his yellows in a way to set a good tone. No one wasted time or played dirty after that.

Pedram, your polls are missed dude. Where is the poll?

That to me definitely did not seem like a penalty. Not a good call from Faghani. Hope this won't affect his FIFA scores which will surely do...

[AminGP]

The defender actually pushed the syrian in the air. Definetly a penalty.

Is your comment based on the assumption that the Iranian referee would call things in favour of Syria?? If so, you need to check your facts man, that is a big assumption, based on nothing in my opinion. Even if it wasn't penalties, referees make mistakes (although it looked like a penalty to me)

[ehsan singapore]

ok it was a peanlty plain and simple, the aus guy knee went to high and hit the player

[MR.ESTESNAII]

Good Faghani...Australia deserved a bad call or not after alll the crappy calls their dumb refs have done to us! Karma is a B*(&h

[zereshk-ali]

Clearly now gonna be a 2-2 draw in Sydney, Syria through on away on goals

[sarbaz]

Faghani was too easy on the Australians, there was another for sure hand ball that he did not call

So yes Faghani did a great job
