Empty It Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 They would need to install SEVCVAR and CELTVAR up here to overturn the away team VAR penalty decisions at Ibrox and park head.I know you're joking but it would be to the shock of absolutely nobody if Celtic and Sevco got even more ridiculous decisions with VAR than they do currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers are chasing a treble. Roy Aitken puts the ball out for a Rangers throw-in, but takes it himself for Celtic. 12 seconds later the ball is in the net and Celtic win 1-0. That's as much an injustice as an incorrect penalty call. Once you've got VAR, you need to use VAR. There is no sensible VAR. Only TOTAL VAR. It's absolute w**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheJTS98 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Of course, the main problem with VAR is not the time-wasting, it's not the curtailed or dampened or delayed celebrations, it's not the infuriating nit-picky decisions. It's that this quest for scientific perfection loses sight of the fact that fitba is a fucking game that's meant to be fun to play and watch. I couldn't give a flying f**k how much money is riding on it for some rich owner or about win bonuses for players. Couldn't give a f**k. You shouldn't either. What the f**k's it got to do with you what happens to the money? Football is meant to be fun and VAR makes it less fun. That's as deep as we need to go on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair's fair, he picked out Miller a beauty. Out-foxed the defence to beat the offside trap. Edited February 13, 2021 by TheJTS98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mvondo_the_great Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Var in Scotland is essential. So it won't happen. Nothing sensible happens in the spfl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the game and thought both were harsh verging on silly but f**k VAR. There's an argument, however academic, that both decisions were right and therefore not subject to being overruled by VAR and, in any event, it adds to the drama of the game. Anyway, f**k VAR. There's no net gain for the fans in terms of enjoyment of the game because of VAR and plenty of examples of the enjoyment being diminished. Arguments about money and a desire for absolute truth can bugger off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 VAR wouldn't have overturned either of them because neither were clear and obvious erorrs. In both cases it was borderline enough for the decision to be justifiable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Maybe it's just me but I thought both red cards were the right decision. First one, Pawlett loses control of the challenge - it's dangerous. Fitzwater fouls someone and denies a goalscoring opportunity while making no attempt to play the ball. That's a red card every day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Why would Scotland with the highest per capita attendance in the world (pre-covid) pay for technology that makes going to the game a worse experience? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
