East Enclosure Row N 2,902 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Would love to see the VAR replays on our big screens, though realise that might be a step too far . . But . . I was at the Hampden cup final v Falkirk a few years ago in hospitality and sat in the row behind the press. The press monitors showed the tv images uninterrupted through the whole game with a 5 second delay. This was brilliant idea - so why can't this be done on our big screens? Do they serve any other purpose during the game? Incident happens (or a goal), look up at the screen and get to see it again in detail. Viewers at home get to see replays and get decision explanations. Punters at the game get hee-haw. Albertz85 and ayrshireranger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Brother 1,147 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 In terms of VAR, It would be a huge benefit if the referee had a mic on for those at the game to hear and understand what the hell is going on and replays be shown on the screens. Watch the Scotland v Wales rugby match where both of these things happen… So much easier to understand what is going on. roboscot and magic8ball 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essandoh 21,884 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 They take far too long to put the VAR message up on the screens, it’s a fucking joke having the game stopped for a full minute without letting the fans know what’s happening.

Remember a replay being shown on the big screen in one of the World Cup games a decade ago and it causing massive controversy. Refs don’t help themselves but their job gets even more difficult if everyone in the stadium can see the incident they’re being asked to make a decision on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 15,077 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Should let one of the kids play FIFA 2023 on the big screen when waiting an age for VAR. Would keep them happy and pass the time imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
