VAR.....again.

[Doc Shrink]

I’m not as certain as some that Hibs never complain. I heard in a previous instance that Hibs were extremely vociferous, but ‘through the correct channels’ as opposed to shouting the odds like Stig, who just looks a complete fanny doing so.
If we DO make a noise behind the scenes it clearly has little effect, but I don’t think public tantrums would make a blind bit of difference. The anti Hibs bias by journos and media muppets is clear to see, and the BBC eejits admitting that it was the (mainly Bigot Bros) pundits who chose the talking point to be shown on tv just nailed the point.
If Hibs made a point of public complaining Tom English would make a point of devoting a whole programme ridiculing it. And he would have a chorus of yes men backing him up.
The whole thing stinks, but the least guilty party in my opinion is Hibs.

Captain Caveman isn't talking to the SFA or SPFL when he greets to the media. He's talking to the gunt hordes and they lap it right up. Their wee persecution complex reduces the heat on him.

I think if we don’t already we should have someone watching the game to advise the manager and harass the officials over var decisions in real time.

The penalty at ibrox is the one that sticks with me - easy to be deflected after the event but not so easy to ignore if you’re asking the 4th official why a clear hand ball that we’ve seen isn’t being reviewed by the ref.

This is exactly what we should be doing. Have our own VAR type person to highlight when things like that clear and obvious handball are just being ignored at the time it has been ignored, Pointless really shouting about it later when a decision can't be changed..

I’ve watched a few FA cup ties today and some had no VAR. Wolves just scored and VAR , correctly, has chalked it off. A couple of goals in the games with no VAR widnae have counted if VAR was used. Shirley VAR should have been used in every game or not at all. Bit unfair I thought.

Another var horror today


Probably a fair shout for a push on steven Fletcher too

Waving an iPad in the 4th officials face - I want to see that before the end of the seadon

I thought the one today we never got was bad aswell

Rocky was pointing out to the ref that he got a penalty against him for similar [worse decision actually than had the pen today been awarded]

Can't find a video of it but certainly didn't look like hands in a natural position

If the ball bounces off another part of the body on to the hand/arm then it's not a penalty, which was the case for both claims today, their's and ours.

But we had a penalty given against us, with VAR, when the same happened to Joe:

Aye but we’re no the The Hun.

Thank Sauzee for that

Can anyone tell me if Hibs have benefited from one single contentious VAR decision since it was introduced here ?
I can't think of any.

The penalty against St Mirren at ER. The ball was battered against the guy's upper arm which was stuck to his side.

And again....at the pbs tonight.

The thing is it's a judgement call and one set of supporters won't be happy no matter what is decided.
I think there has been an adjustment from the referees and VAR since the World Cup which has reduced the number of penalties given for handball in Scotland. Before the World Cup the referees and VAR in Scotland seemed to be giving penalties every time it hit someones hand or arm no matter the circumstances. For me the one tonight wasn't a penalty. Rowles was trying to withdraw his arm when it struck him and his touch didn't stop an opposition player getting a chance to score.

By your theory a player going away from goal is chopped down by the defending who was trying to get the ball so be no penalty because he was trying ??

You're making up your own rules there. His arm was sticking straight out from his side and increased his silhouette. Whether he was trying to withdraw it is irrelevant (in fact he moved his arm toward the ball).

It was a stonewall penalty and it definitely appears that some teams have been luckier than others in terms of VAR.
