VAR explained

You can't remember St Mirren from like last month???
Aye remember that, no sure about goldson unless you mean his save at ER . They are also indisputable errors right enough, the celtic one was a non hand ball though ( different ) as opposed to hand balls which are covered by grey areas which can be used to the benefit of the cheaters .
On the other HAND, how can you give hand ball when it obviously wasn’t 😩🤷‍♂️
 
VAR makes an arse of it, next week it gives you the result you should have got last week - unless you're playing the bigots obviously 🙄

St Smidden will get a result next match.

Us? Unlikely.

Tin hat on but I don't think VAR made an arse of it in either the Livi game or the St Mirren game. The Livi game I initially thought Bowie was well onside and the lines they'd drawn looked squint, but when you see the wide angle still of it (for some reason released days after the match) the lines look OK to me. Both the St Mirren goals were more clearly offside and VAR again made the correct call.

I'd still do away with it and settle for the "warts and all" officials on the pitch instant decision as I can't stand the 2-3 minutes limbo you're left in when a goal is scored. It takes something away from the game, there's no money shot any more! Apart from the odd exception where you know a goal is 100% good due to no risk of offside, foul, handball etc.
 
How can var be used in some games but not others in the same competition?
Agree, either all or none.
We would’ve had a pen and they wouldn’t have got that 2nd corner, although it should never have needed var as the lino was looking straight aping the line at a guy a yard offside standing right in front of the goalie
 
It's about to get worse.

IFAB have decided it'll be used for second yellow cards and corner kicks too.
Second yellows will be interesting. First yellow unwarranted but second good to go...

Sakes.

The simplest of games is going to be uncontrollable and too confusing, i mean they’ve done brilliantly so far by making decisions like offside and handballs so technical no one knows right from wrong anymore. They’re killing it season by season. Don there will only be euro leagues with major finances controlling it
 
Mandatory because the SPL use it surely up to the SPL if they want to use it or not and the teams who are in it . Can it not be voted out ? It is a waste of money after all 🤷‍♂️

Scottish football is backwards as it is. They're not gonna be the only top league without VAR?

Even though I fully disagree with it, but as long as it's a part of the sport we should have it.

I hate it though. Really do. Ruining football.
Tools are supposed to improve things, not complicated and make it worse.

We likely would have had a penalty at EEP and still be in the Cup if we'd had VAR. I think the good outweighs the bad.
 
No.

Now attach AI so we can judge on diving and play-acting as well 😀
VAR should be the best thing that's ever happened to this bloated money business we call football, where time wasting, blatant cheating and incompetent/corrupt officials is the order of the day worldwide not just in Scotland. VAR needs a complete overhaul with input from every country. Get it working properly, maybe with AI involvement eventually why not?
An impartial AI decision or John Beaton's opinion 🤷
It was introduced for a reason. The game we grew up with is long gone.

If I find a US stream when watching the fitba, the screen can be ringed with ads (think the watch company logo we sometimes get at the moment beside the score in the top).... the ads appear a few times during the game, they tend to be seconds long and you end up not noticing them much. I think we are on a hiding to nothing here... this sort of shoite is defs on the horizon Sanch.

To get round it, folks are going to have to start actually going to games! Novel.
 
I don’t usually have much time for Alan Shearer but his post match comments (Villa v Newcastle) were spot on. The standard of refereeing has gone rapidly downhill since VAR was introduced - they’re reluctant to make decisions. Then in a game such as tonight’s where there’s no VAR, they have no comfort blanket and they get it all wrong. Personally I would bin it altogether.
