My probsble worry is the ref has to go view a monitor. Grounds in scotland tend to be close to the pitch- unless we have a zone around them most grounds the ref will have hoards pulling faces from a foot away shouting obscenities Link to comment

Schapenneuker Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 VAR will be a nightmare in Scottish football. Anyone thinking that this will somehow level up the plethora of dodgy decisions that Celtic and Rangers get has got it badly wrong. All that will happen is that officialdom will double down on these decisions. VAR will benefit 2 clubs, and 2 clubs only in Scottish football. 1 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 And the cleverer players who frequent arse cheek teams will play for precisely those decisions. Link to comment

Instead of complaining about the refs getting things wrong in real time, we'll just be complaining about them getting it wrong watching it on the screen. It will just be used to give Celtic and Rangers even more decisions than they already get. Correct. There will be no point in celebrating goals now. Particularly against the mutant infirm. Whole move leading up to a goal picked apart until they find something "wrong". It'll be an absolute clusterfuck from start to finish. Fuck that. And fuck modern day football. 2 Link to comment
Dynamo Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Was inevitable it would happen at some point as it becomes common in other leagues. The match going fan suffers though - it's bad enough when you celebrate a goal and then find out it's offside as it is! Correcting clear and obvious referee errors should be the only way it's implemented. They overdo it in England. 1 Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The way they use it in England is pathetic. Offside because half a finger or a shoelace is past the line of the last defender. Fuck that. Link to comment
thurso Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The only problems I have with var is when it was brought in it was meant to stop goals from being chopped off when they were legitimate goals but it seems to have gone the other way and every goal is scrutinised to see if it should stand and if it takes 2 minutes to decide it’s a goal it should stand it shouldn’t take longer than 20 seconds to decide mind you the arse cheeks will want 5 minutes used for every goal against them Link to comment

If the referee has made a clear and obvious error, don't give them the chance to review it and change their mind, just tell them, "Aye John, that's not a penalty, you've arsed that up". This nonsense with them having to make the screen gesture to then review it, for the fans to wait and see which way they point. If a panel tell you you're made a mistake then that should be it.

Certainly down in England it's used more to see if they can disallow a goal for anything at all, rather than correcting any obvious errors. There should be a time limit on how long it can be reviewed for. If it's an obvious error, which is what this technology is supposed to be used for, then it shouldn't take any time at all to see it 29 minutes ago, TheRedPrawcess said: You could add to this.

Would speed everything up A good idea which would definitely cut down on the time spent reviewing decisions, but I'm not sure that's going to work with the guys like Beaton up here. He'd just be telling the ref every decision should go Rangers way and that would be it. VAR will never work up here unless we have impartial officials in the video booths. There is no reason why a ref who's biased towards Celtic and Rangers on the pitch wouldn't be exactly the same watching the videos. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Aye, the challenge is the subjectivity around 'clear and obvious error.' Anything that involves any degree of subjectivity on the behalf of the operator would cause problems up here. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Left to me, I'd implement it using a similar approach as they do in the review system in cricket. Each team gets 3 "challenges" if they don't agree with a decision. In cricket they've got 15 seconds to challenge a decision, obviously it would be wrong to instantly stop play in football so the teams would still get 15 seconds to hit the review button (or an agreed signal if made by the team captain onfield) and then it would be looked at during the next break in play. A correct challenge results in the review being retained, an incorrect challenge and the review is lost. Once 3 reviews have been used up, tough shit for that team if they think something else has gone wrong. The umpires in cricket also have the ability to look at an incident again should they so wish. The ref could do this if he suspects serious foul play in football. And in cricket all wickets falling are looked at routinely. I'd suggest all goals scored be looked at routinely too. I get that VAR will cause games to become stop/start just by it's very nature but if it means that horrendous mistakes are eliminated then it's a price worth paying Link to comment

Works really well in tennis too. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Challenge system would have to be that if you use one & your challenge is found to be justified & get a decision reversed then you don’t lose one of your ‘allocated’ challenges. Otherwise our shite refs would just make a few shit calls early in games so all challenges are used up early Link to comment

Extra challenge allowed in a tie break which would be the equivalent of extra time in football. Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Anyone that thinks this will solve any problems in Scottish football is deluded, seems most non-OF fans realise this. Let’s be honest it’s just for the benefit of two teams anyway. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 See they’re talking about introducing it earlier now. They must have found their equal amount of arse cheek supporting former refs to do it quicker than expected Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 They've just realised that to claim "These things even themselves out over the season" is less believable if they only have VAR for half of it. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Should be an automatic 3-0 defeat for teams of any fans chanting "VAR, VAR" when they think it might give a decision in their favour. Link to comment
