After a VARtastic J1 weekend, Alan Gibson was the perfect guest to help us try and make sense of all the controVARsy.
We begin with Japan's World Cup group, and then kickoff our J1 wrap with Kobe's winless run to start the season continuing in the Kansai derby against Kyoto - who ran our worthy winners. Then it was happy days for both Osaka clubs, with Gamba cruising past Nagoya, and Cerezo smashing the two-time defending champions Kawasaki. Before Alan departs we get his thoughts on a couple of other officiating decisions from other games (to 52:50).
Then in Part 2 we review wins for Kashima, Yokohama F.Marinos and Kashiwa that saw them close the gap on Frontale at the top, Hiroshima pulled away from the foot of the table with their win at Shonan, and we finish with the two draws from Matchday 6 and look ahead to the midweek and weekend fixtures.
