I disagree, he was far enough away that it was irrelevant to the goal being scored. And the goalie never glanced at the offside player so wasn't affected by him at all. Clear goal.

best way to get one without being a member is to sign up to the football family at http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/get-involved which gets you second priority tickets before general sale iirc

This is actually all irrelevant. The VAR is there to correct black and white calls that are wrong, not to re-referee interpretations. There's no way Strebre Delovski should have looked at that and said conclusively that the decision was wrong, he just got excited by the thought of making headlines. It was a disgraceful decision.

What are you talking about? That was a black and white decision. You aren't offside if you're not interfering with play. The linesman was clearly wrong and the VAR should have overruled him. To take that goal back would be clearly be incorrectly ruling on what offside has been for years now.

And the second one was also an obvious mistake by the linesman and correctly overturned. Technology did a good job, yesterday.

It wasn't a black and white decision - the lino interpreted Bobo as interfering with the play and ruled him as offside. The nature of that part of the rule is that it's up for the referee's interpretation. It's not a simple yes/no question like 'is he offside y/n' or 'did he get the ball first y/n'. The lino has interpreted Bobo as interfering with the play, it's not up to Delovski to reinterpret that - his remit is to eliminate the clear howlers, not re-ref the match. Really he shouldn't have even been asked, but therein lies the problem with the FFA implementing this in round 26 - there aren't enough test cases before the finals roll around.

He did eliminate a clear howler. Bobo was a mile away from play and in no way interfered with the outcome. The Perth player tried to milk a foul from the linesman once he saw he wasn't going to get close and the linesman fell for it, likely because from his position he couldn't see how far away from the action he was. The VAR did the exact right thing and corrected the obvious mistake.

Please give up; whilst you try to recast correcting an obvious refereeing mistake as some sort of coinflip interpretation call everyone else has accepted it and moved on.

Sadly Brisbane couldn't knock out Melbourne but hopefully next week Sydney will do the job.
