Chasing VAR out of Scotland
The Master replied to HibsFan's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
They had 13 cameras at Dens last week, including the 2 fixed goal-line cameras and the steadicam. I think you’d struggle to find 30 unique camera positions in most Scottish grounds. -

The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread
The Master replied to Ludo*1's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
The Daily Record regurgitating the nonsense about last season's Scottish Cup Final being shown UK-wide on the BBC. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/celtic-vs-rangers-scottish-cup-32648355 While it technically was, due to availability of BBC One Scotland and BBC Scotland on the iPlayer and cable/satellite in rUK, the clear implication is that it was on BBC One everywhere. -
Chasing VAR out of Scotland
The Master replied to HibsFan's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I’m pretty sure it is possible for two people to be perfectly in line, but it only applies to spherical players in a vacuum. -
Semi Final: Aberdeen vs Celtic
The Master replied to Melanius Mullarkey's topic in Domestic Cup Football
Jesus Christ. -
Philippe Clement likes this. I can't believe it's a couple of years shy of 20 years since this was first broadcast, and that you're avoiding spoilers because there's people on here who are too young to remember it first time round (if they were even born). 20 years ago should be something from the 80s. Jeez, I'm getting old. Brilliant series, though. The sequel, Ashes to Ashes, isn't bad either, and does a good job of explaining things.

With it being a Manchester derby again, it’s likely the final will kick off at 3pm. Pray for the SFA, with them having already confirmed the Scottish Cup Final for the same time.

Pass back.

Semi Final: Rangers vs Hearts
The Master replied to topcat(The most tip top)'s topic in Domestic Cup Football
It’s the first “Old Firm Final” since 2002. And if it was about keeping Premier Sports happy (not Viaplay anymore), and you believe there is corruption, it would be orchestrated for them to meet in the semi-finals. -

Penalty to Rangers incoming? -

That’ll be that then. -
All three were penalties, but not only did VAR wave them away, they did so very quickly. I know England is generally more efficient with VAR, but I don’t see how there was sufficient time in any of the checks for a proper examination and discussion between the VAR and AVAR.

Why is this a screenshot of an image of a phone with a screenshot of a Tweet photoshopped into it?

That’s another penalty not given.
-
Given the penalties that have been given this season, I don’t understand why that wasn’t one.
-
The first 10 minutes of this game have been better than the entire 90 in yesterday’s FA Cup semi.
-
Ooft, brilliant goal for Sheffield Wednesday. Keeper and defence make a hash of it, but still a ridiculous finish from Windass.

Semi Final: Aberdeen vs Celtic
The Master replied to Melanius Mullarkey's topic in Domestic Cup Football
The only person to bring the notion of “certainty” into this was @RandomGuy.. He had to award the free kick if he believed it to be one. What part of this is difficult to understand? -
Semi Final: Aberdeen vs Celtic
The Master replied to Melanius Mullarkey's topic in Domestic Cup Football
Because in the moment, the referee doesn’t know that. They can be confident that it’s a free kick. So confident that they subsequently give it. But allowing play to continue affords the opportunity to make sure, should a potentially game-changing incident unfold. -

The Master replied to Melanius Mullarkey's topic in Domestic Cup Football
He believed it was a free kick, so that’s what he should award. -

When? I never said that. I’ve been citing late flags as being fundamentally no different to what happened yesterday. You also seem to misunderstand what it means for a referee to make a decision. Those occasions where you see play stopped or a restart delayed for a VAR review aren’t a case of the referee not making a decision. In those cases, the decision was “no penalty” (or “no red card”, or whatever the incident is). Similarly, if an assistant doesn’t flag, that’s not them making no decision. Their decision is “not offside”.
