Chasing VAR out of Scotland
Dons_1988 replied to HibsFan's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I will happily contact my club (again) about this. I won’t threaten boycotting unless I mean it (not there yet) but I absolutely am willing to withdraw the free money I give them every month. Tbh I would do that about the broader direction of football in general, of which VAR is a symptom of, rather than a specific complaint about VAR. I feel very strongly about all of that (which possibly comes through in my grumpiness on certain threads). Not sure I could go on sportsound and keep my cool. I could already see them trying to drag the conversation into specific decisions and try and paint my views as a football fan moaning about referees. Sportsound absolutely love VAR as it means they don’t have to attempt to know things about Diddy teams. -
Sky aren’t the only stakeholders here though. The police, for example, will have resourced based on a noon kick off and I’m assuming won’t take too kindly to hold back their staff another 4 hours while the people they’re policing spend it getting more tanked in the pub. Thats possibly/probably the biggest one but there’s a lot of things in and around an event that you can’t just shift back a few hours.

So moving on from that techology… Was our style of play yesterday quite different, as the post match interviews would suggest? Also was Roos deserving of BBC’s MotM award? -

The worst thing about handball is it just feels like a total lottery, both in terms of whether they’re going to give it or not and also a defender finding themselves in that situation where a ball ricochets and their arm happens to be away from their side in that moment. Just in the last run of games we’ve benefitted yesterday plus devlin vs hibs, but suffered against Dundee and st Johnstone. None of which I really want to see given as handballs as a neutral. -

Goes without saying that was a massive result for us today, but I’m a long way off feeling like this team have turned any sort of corner. -

I couldn’t make it today so I really have no contribution to the discussion. But sounds like we played ok but got a slice of luck to get the points. Would love to say we’ve deserved a bit of luck but I wouldn’t be wholly convinced. -

I’m demanding an investigation into this result, with this thread as evidence. -

Sportsound Watch
Dons_1988 replied to ScotlandThomas's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Don’t think there’s any doubt about that tbh. I would like to know the data they (presumably) have on listening figures to support it.
