Referee Alireza Faghani

Current Hyundai A-league referee. I'm the best in the world, just ask Bozza.

It's funny how the universe works, all is right in the world now. 2-1 #WUNvWSW

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

Well done VAR and FFA, keeping to the brief. WSW to win the competition and all VAR referrals are to favour WSW. #WUNvWSW #NothingToSeeHere

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

I apologise unreservedly to Heather Reid for the comments I just made on Twitter for implying Heather Reid was “one of the boys” and involved in inappropriate conduct with an official.

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

Even clear goals and handballs will not hold us back from handing WSW the champions trophy this season. #WSWvSyd #VAR

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

I’m not going to say the FFA want WSW to win the competition this season, but in the two games I have officiated in at Wanderland, my VAR buddies and I have helped further the FFA’s hidden agenda.

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

I’m a little hungover this morning after last night’s celebration with the boys following the #WSWvSYD match. When I say the boys, I obviously mean the board of the FFA.

Perth Glory 1 v Brisbane Roar FC 1
Robbie Fowler returned to Perth in a game that could have gone either way with Robbie’s men snatching a late draw. Some say it was a successful return to Perth for Robbie, but others would say anything less than a win, is a loss. Rating 7.5/10.

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

Wellington Phoenix 0 v Western United 1
A successful away trip for WU. Mark Rudan and Andrew Durante sticking it up the jumpers of their former club. The Nix, led by Ufuk Talay were unlucky to not score, almost as unlucky as being named Ufuk. What the Ufuk? Rating 7/10.

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

Melbourne Victory 0 v Melbourne City FC 0
YAAAAAAAAAWN. Rating 0/10.

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

Western Sydney Wanderers FC 2 v Central Coast Mariners 1
Even game, even more even when I didn’t send off anyone from WSW for studs up tackles but that’s how I roll. Handball when ball is moving away from goals with no opponent contesting the ball, is still handball. Rating 6/10.

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

Adelaide United 2 v Sydney FC 3
Good game. Two evenly matched teams. Can’t help but feel AU got a taste of their own medicine after beating Central Coast in similar circumstances in the FFA Cup. Rating 8/10.

Since I couldn’t live-tweet the first week of the 19-20 A-League, the following tweets will sum up each game from my perspective, in 280 characters or less.

Thank you, @refmattbreeze. I will do my best to use your teachings to uphold the rules and regulations of the FFA, which we all know, the bigger the club the more "luck" 😉you will have. #GameOn

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

@refmattbreeze signing out. Welcome, @RefAlirezaF.

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

After years of being dormant, I have decided to hand this account over to my good mate and mentee, referee Alireza Faghani. He may say he's not worthy but, he will rise from the ranks and use the power of the whistle to dish out injustice as I did before him. Good luck, sir.

Who got Giggs' shirt? Who gives a rats arse. Champagne questions channel7 #ALeagueAllStars

[Andrew Voss @AndrewVossy]

Manchester United would have beaten the Sharks tonight.

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

@ScottNoAlias After the Socceroos match is over I'll continue the misery on Fox Sports 2. Will this night ever end?

[Referee Alireza Faghani @RefAlirezaF]

Whats the irony of the Foxtel #ALeagueAllStars match not being shown on Foxtel? #ALvMU
