Ace 3,556 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Last night's referee blunder wouldn't have happened with VAR in play, in fact last night caps a trifecta of poor referee decisions in Europe which, if available would've or could've turned results in our favour (Morelos offside goal which was onside & Spartak goal against us which was clearly offside). We know that VAR will come to European competition soon but should it be applied to Scottish top flight & if so, would it help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhW 4,676 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Not every team even has a proper pitch. No way we are getting VAR any time soon. billscott, Bobby Hume, Essandoh and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaunchLondonGer 1,651 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 With our clueless cunt refs the game would be stopping every five minutes for a review of footage. And any game that we're in would involve the 4th official getting on the hotline to Lawwell to ask what the decision should be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I would implement it tomorrow given the chance. Too many referees need too much help for it to be delayed. If more time and money is not going to be spent on improved training for refs then get it spent on the technology which will help them. Get it done soon as so the inevitable glitches can be ironed out immediately! Courtyard Bear and cascadeshrimp 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Group stages and knockout rounds in Europe it should be mandatory. Never going to happen in scotland we are a footballing backwater. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,999 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Id be surprised if officials in Scotland know the rules of football well enough to look at a replay and make a decision Bobby Hume 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,331 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 VAR in Scottish football? These dopey fuckers at the SFA wouldn't know how to work a VCR never mind VAR. Actually, perhaps a VCR for the 4th official might be an improvement on what we have now. billscott, Bobby Hume and Terry Hurlock Loyal 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 To be fair Spartak would have had 2 penalties in the away game if VAR was in use. Terry Hurlock Loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gj923 1,457 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Costs too much money as the SFA have already stated. However having things like VAR could make it more attractive to TV companies to then sell the product. However given again its the SPFL they would fuck that up also.

We know that VAR will come to European competition soon but should it be applied to Scottish top flight & if so, would it help? Yes it should be introduced, as for if it would help surely that depends if the ref in the replay booth is a card carrying fan of the bhoy bhuggerers? It should be in European cup competitions just now. American Football and Rugby have been using video replays for tight calls for a long time and get it right 90% of the time, unless it's Australia v Scotland in the Rugby World Cup, fucking cunt of a ref and video assistant that day.

However, regularly outside of these grounds it is barely a two man crew with no live feedback (one in the gantry, and one touchline/stand at one end only) so it would be cried as unfair by almost all SPFL clubs. Never going to happen in Scotland. billscott 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald de Boer 26 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It’s time. I know it disrupts things in the ground but it’s better to get the right decision. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebestest 2,148 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 This would work against us. The referee would only ever use it to take a second look at the opposition's claims. And if he ever did take a second look at one of our claims, he would just find a way to blame us. They hate us. And the SFA/SPL/pundits hate us. Because they all hate us, there are no checks and balances in place. The hatred is allowed to fester and multiply. They'll just continue to use referees as a means to stop us winning any titles.
