Re: VAR in Scottish Premiership
Is it going to make for better decisions ? - No
Are we going to have diddy 5th officials who stick their bibs in & still get things wrong ? - Yes
Are we going to have interminable stuffing around which totally interupt flow of game over decisions ? - Yes
More sponsorship bullshit ? - Yes
Do we have technical ability across all games in all weathers to allow it ? For example on the torrential rain night at Well earlier this year. - Cannae see it
Will it happen ? Yes
Moan moan

Re: VAR in Scottish Premiership
Speaking about bringing in halfway through the season. WTAF?! That’ll be chaos. There will without doubt be some point where Rangers or Celtic point to a decision made without VAR that would’ve been given with VAR. Look at the St Johnstone game at the weekend, 100% a penalty and probably given with VAR. Imagine that’s at the start of the season (no VAR) then St Johnstone gets a pk given through VAR for a similar incident and avoids the drop by a point because of it.

It's not where you're from it's where you're at.

Re: VAR in Scottish Premiership
Whether or not you think it's a good idea or not we have to have it here in Scotland so as to fall in line with the rest of European/World football.
Apart from goaline technology it will solve nothing, Sevco will still get loads of penalties and the conspiracy against Celtic will still continue🙄

I'm not negative about its introduction.
Under the current system some decisions go your way, some don't.
Under VAR it will be exactly the same.
One man's great tackle will be another man's red card.

Re: VAR in Scottish Premiership
Won't make any difference in Scotland because the referee's who will be operating VAR are:
a. biased as fuck in favour of Rangers and Celtic
b. absolutely fucking hopeless
Too much commotion

Re: VAR in Scottish Premiership
I can't see it happening anyway.
75% of all member clubs in all divisions have to vote for it.
Can't see that happening. Why would the lower league clubs vote for something that will be costly to implement?

Re: VAR in Scottish Premiership
Another thing on weather.
-We're going to end up with instances ie fog where VAR is marginal but referee would otherwise give OK.
- Consequence VAR postponements - mentil.
-What happens when fog rolls in after 75mins ?
-VAR tits up but game OK to run full 90. What then ?
This is Scotland no Sevilla.

This echoes my thoughts, doesn't matter if we have all the technology in the world, if you have Mike McCurry or Alan Freeland involved.

Because they don't have to contribute maybe?

I did think that. But then the surely the cost of implementation would have to come out of the Premiership prize money.
And why would any of the Premiership clubs vote in favour of that?
All of them (bar maybe Celtic) need every penny of that money.
