Get this idea to fuck.

They fucked it up in England, can only imagine how bad it would be in Scotland. It will take away the enjoyment of pretty much every goal. Bad enough having to check for a fucking offside flag as it is, imagine these checks going on when you're at the match and you can't see and don't know what the hell is being looked at. Absolute bollocks taking away the essence of the game. 

Do any grounds outside Ibrox and Parkhead even have screens so they could at least play footage to show fans?

This is just being introduced for the likes of him for when his fitness levels drop.

[Ramandu]

It was done well at the euros. Can only imagine it will be a shambles here though.

Exactly.

Cost me a few hundred quid tonight with 3 disallowed goals after being given.

Who wants to wait 2 minutes after each goal to see if it's given.

[Itsagoal]

I’ve always maintained VAR would be a disaster in Scottish football as it will give the refs a second chance to come to the wrong decision. Can you really see the likes of Bobby Madhun not giving a penalty after being asked to check the monitor while 50,000 Huns are baying for blood. “Aye, it was outside the box. Aye it was a blatant dive”. Decision- penalty to The Rangers.

[G31DON]

The old 'Garbage in, garbage out" applies here.  Gollum in his priest hole somewhere will still fuck it up, no matter how times he watches it.

[red kelly]

give me VAR over crap scottich referees anyday.
then again if its masonic judges on the panel, then totally pointless.

[aberdeen1970]

It'll be the refereeing equivalent of Kris Boyd sitting in the sky studio 

[muttonhumper]

Fuck this.
If you think that the tims and huns get everything going for them from the referees just now, this will only make it 10 times fucking worse.

 

Jesus wept.

Think aboot it.

[ericblack4boss]

No need to worry the 11-1 voting system will bury it.

Both the arse cheeks to vote for s system that might see decisions in thier favour over ruled no chance

[RED_JOHN]

I want VAR in our game. 

[AllyDon]

VAR being used by usless/corrupt Scottirh referees is just another tool to fuck it up.

The theory behind VAR is sound. The execution, not so much!

The principles of VAR should make the game better if they are applied correctly.

There is naturally a lot of doubt that the institution can implement a fair balanced system though

You’d think teams who are predominantly on the front foot would be in favour of VAR? 

[thurso]

The problem with var is when it was brought in it was meant to stop goals that were being ruled offside but weren’t, but it seems to do the opposite and keep ruling goals out that were close and before would of been allowed. 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Same with penalties.  We’ve gone from was there enough contact to go down to was there contact?  Imagine Morelos and Mackenna.  0-4 by half time.

Are you insinuating the cheeks would get more awards that the reds are missing at the moment ?

[ericblack4boss]

As mentioned the principal and idea behind VAR is sound and with all the correct intentions, 

But it's going to be run and administered by the SFA ,  which devoids it of integrity and kudos
