VAR.....again.

[greencol]

St Mirren given a penalty.
Ref gives a foul outside the box.
VAR gives a pen.
Outside for me.
The Ref rightly sends off the Aberdeen defender, but.....

 

[bigmanandy]

Amateur Scottish refs who run it, doesn't work

 

[greencol]

Aberdeen concede 3 pens!

 

[Hattie]

Aberdeen concede 3 pens!

About time they animals got their comeuppance

 

[Forzahibs]

Wait till you see Hearts pen

By all accounts a joke.
Ref didn't give it but VAR said it was a pen.
Four minutes into injury time, you couldn't make it up.

VAR should never have any part of football.
It leaves it too easily open too corruption.

Should be like rugby(at least when I watched a game in 2003),and tennis.

You can contest a decision 3 times.
If your right...you keep your challenge.


Against Rangers....how was the handball not a penalty?
If that was for Rangers....you can sure as hell guarantee it's a penalty!

I think the ref was making up for not giving the one in the first half that hit an arm twice.
Shambolic TBH.

Watched Sportscene earlier and there were dodgy VAR decisions in all the games today. It needs independent reviewers, Scottish refs are fuckin hopeless at it.

True but at least they are consistently hopeless 😔

Maybe they could work towards being hopelessly consistent?

I agree it's a disgrace the way it's operated. Would be much fairer if Captains/managers were given 2 calls per half and then and only then should VAR be used

There is no hope only disappointment. Yo ho ho 🤣 Merry Christmas fellow bouncers and fck the Huns.

Haven't watched.

I assume the Hibs game was shown last?

 

[hibbybilly]

Haven't watched.

Aye.

 

[Rocky]

I'm sure they used to put one of the uglies on last on the basis that it kept folk watching till the end. Maybe Hibs are the biggest TV draw these days.

First Livi pen was a pen.
Second one was not.
Ball hit Joe's foot and deflected onto his arm. Rules are very clear that this is NOT a penalty when it hits another part of the body and then hand/arm.

So, even with VAR able to see EXACTLY what happened, even if the ref missed it - it's yet another case of the officials either being blind, stupid, bent, or not knowing the rules.

Agreed and also think we should have a a free kick before the “handball”.

As Ismail goes to get to the rebound from his missed penalty, Campbell tries to shield the ball for Marshall to gather and Ismail goes straight through him.
