Desp Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 1 hour ago, West End Well said: First time posting, but I have a friend who is a top tier ref. He has been training on the VAR setup at hampden for months, both as a ref working with a VAR and as a VAR reviewing the video feed. Hawkeye are also advertising for technicians to operate the system in Scotland. And the SFA are very keen for it to go ahead as their officials won’t be represented at major tournaments which use VAR if they aren’t working with it domestically The main problem seems likely to be a shortage of officials as at least an extra 2 refs are required for each game (an assistant VAR to continue watching the action while a VAR review is going on). I would suggest that we can’t really afford to dilute a very weak talent pool any further so I’m against it A "friend", eh? Great to have you on the forum, Hugh... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emails soliciting for fans' views is probably more than most other clubs are doing but it should still only be the first part of a much more of a transparent process IMO. I don't think my monthly fiver should get me a vote on the starting lineup every Saturday but it probably should stretch to a say in the biggest change to the rules in this country since they introduced the passback law. SMISA have asked members to vote on it. Having seen the way it's used elsewhere, I voted against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 5 hours ago, thisGRAEME said: I think that it will be a centralised service, with referees reviewing feeds of the game from a central location. Which I would assume will reduce the number of referees required. You still need 1 VAR official per game. Oh sorry VAR missed the clear penalty at Easter Road, they were busy drawing lines on offside decision at Dingwall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) I mean, 4 years is actually quite a long time but it's still a bit mental that there's only two of the players in this video still at the club.

Gianfranco Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I’ve enjoyed seeing McFadden’s goal in Paris today an all. I think today is Faddy’s birthday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Now that was an enjoyable season. One of the biggest regrets of my time watching us that both our cup finals were against that Brendan Rodgers celtic team.It really was typical. Up against anyone else and I'd have fancied that team to lift at least 1 trophy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Us only ever getting the Old Firm in finals is quite annoying but on the other hand I think it at least means the defeats are fairly forgettable. Losing a final to St Johnstone or something would probably leave me rattled for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliphas Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Just to momentarily take us back to VAR..sorry..decision made within aboot 90 seconds to chop a Rangers goal off. For that alone it should be installed ASAP. Edited April 14, 2022 by eliphas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I was debating that with a Rangers "supporting" mate, he's not happy and upset it was called back. I told him I was upset VAR was involved but it was a handball for me but the ref missed it so f**k VAR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Say what you want about the Motherwell team this season. But twice they have come from behind to draw at Ibrox. In the meantime Rangers are comfortably beating the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Red Star Belgrade and most probably Braga. Sure they most definitely took us lightly. In fact I am sure they did. But credit where credit is due . Edited April 14, 2022 by welldaft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamMFC Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Next Saturday....we're 1-0 up against Rangers, it's the 90th minute and Alexander or Lucketti does this to stop Kent! https://twitter.com/SkyFootball/status/1513810239388327942?t=zs2gNmztLyVqZZLXJq7WuQ&s=19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you're wrong but as I remember it most folk said it was a good job the cup balanced out the displays in the league rather than purely complaining it was grim to watch. If offered dismal but safe in the league combined with two absolutely epic cup runs you'd maybe not take it every year but in terms of breaking up the monotony it's one of my favourite ever seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) It's actually brightened up my morning taking a dip into this very thread at the point we hit the winter break after going through the December malaise in 17/18 (shout out @YassinMoutaouakil for getting the big Nadir hype train started). By the by we were 2 points worse off at the split that season than we were this time around. Edited April 15, 2022 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
