Jimfanciesthedude 24,546 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Problem is that the "mistakes" are now not mistakes but clearly the officials panicking about being the ones to cost that mob their 9iar, instead of getting their windows panned in and phone numbers spread online, the officials take the easy way out and side with them The VAR officials will be no different, just means we wont get decisions refs miss for us, but you csn be damned sure they will catch all the ones we commit that are missed, shower of rancid crooked bastards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also never mentioned they cunts by name which I like I liked the reference to integrity at the end of the statement and comments on Morelos getting treated differently from those at other clubs.

Thing is there needs to be something either black or white with offside ,especially in this corrupt cesspit otherwise you get they cunts one week getting a goal 2 bawhairs offside then us getting chalked off for 2 bawhair offside I think the biggest issue with VAR is the way it’s being used down south ,there doesn’t seem to be the same problems elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow argyle 1,093 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 41 minutes ago, Bears r us said: Great to see this statement just wish Robertson had not started with “This is not a criticism of referees because they often have to perform under very difficult conditions and in a highly emotive environment", because it is not correct, they have no problem giving decisions to them and any other team as long as we are on the receiving end. I watch a fair bit of English football and some of the decisions from the VAR panel are hellish and I could see it at times causing more problems depending who is making the decisions from VAR. So delighted we have brought up the terrible decisions from yesterday, Aberdeen and the Cup Final and especially about Alfredo, but I am not sure VAR is the answer. I think no matter who is in charge of var in Scotland if it comes? Then they must have disallowed the septic goal in L.C. final, stevie wonder could have called that offside.

I think you have to take into account just who is offside and at what part of the build up. Wolves goal yesterday is a prime example that goal should’ve stood. If a ball direct to the player that scores and he is offside then I can see the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best they can hope for is to try and sort out the big game changing moments and hopefully get them right. Liverpool v Wolves was a perfect example of the best and the worst of VAR.

BearInTheToon 1,577 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Fucking love that statement. The club struck whilst the iron was hot with class, dignity and hit each of the key points. Consider the SFA, SPFL, referees and other clubs well and truly called out. Delighted with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a precise definition, otherwise there's going to be inconsistent application. There has to be a line somewhere. This is why the criticism of how it's used in England, specifically re offside, makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no different to just saying the attacker has to be less than 5cm ahead of the attacker and putting the wee judgement line there. Which is no real difference to how they do it now. You'll still have a point where you're a centimetre offside. And there HAS to be an absolute line with no tolerance for it to be fairly and equally applied. Otherwise you'll just have situations where one guy is given leeway and another isn't. It's fine as it is. Folk just have to mentally adjust to it being black and white now.
