Maybe there were people there making a political point about Israel's treatment of Palestinians. Or maybe there's just a new generation of drunken radges going to watch Scotland these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 One of the most satisfying aspects of it was that it was Bitton who was playing him onside. Can't stand that guy. I actually copuldn't celebrate instantly because I was convinced it was going to be ruled out for something...offside, handball, whatever. Yeah I thought it was offside at the time but obviously it wasn't even close. One of the players said they'd been practicing those second contact moves quite a bit - I think having a guy on the goalkeeper for every (?) one was so Israel were forced to drop someone back and ensure no Scots were offside. ETA: I also didn't know Dykes had scored until after the game - I was certain it was an OG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I had the same reaction as a few on here at McTominay's goal, and I think you can hear the roar overall was muted compared to that which greeted McGinn's goal. VAR in football has created an insecurity in fans so that they don't feel that they can celebrate a goal instantly, and it's just shite. I didn't celebrate the 3rd goal for about a minute as I was just waiting on an offside flag, or for the referee to go over to the screen. For all that I was grateful to VAR for overturning Dykes' disallowed goal, I still think it's a negative thing overall purely because of the hesitancy it breeds in fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since its introduction I've been against it, for those reasons, but those cheating b*****ds might have scraped a draw or worse on Saturday were it not for VAR. I was jumping about like a loon but with eyes trained on the referee for around 10 seconds until I was sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Why is it embarrassing?Because it's a 30/40 second segment where the done thing is to show a bit of respect to your opponent. And when fans can't manage it I find it embarrassing. FWIW I'd happily do away with National Anthems, particularly at tournaments. I still wouldn't boo it regardless of how much I don't like them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Machina Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Think I'm still recovering from Saturday, voice is still posted missing. Not much more to add on what's already been said but what a fucking team. At the winner, it took a few seconds for me to even register it had actually gone in but the pandemonium that followed in the North Stand after was fantastic can't say VAR even crossed my mind tbh. Not a fan of Yes Sir, I Can Boogie after its excessive overplaying in the summer but a full Hampden bouncing and singing their hearts out to it at full time really was something special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it beyond words - regardless of it actually working in our favour with Dykes goal. It was especially confusing given McTominay didn't really fully celebrate at first - just jogged away smiling initially. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 We should start doing it at club level. Club anthems. Nah I couldn't cope with that. Given our Tory infestation the Queens anthem would be booed every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Is worth pointing out without VAR our position in the group would be looking much less favourable. We'd not have been awarded the penalty in Austria and Dykes goal would have been disallowed. Although I still maintain Craig Gordon was walloped on the back of his head for their 2nd goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightly so. For what it’s worth, I think Israel, England and Northern Ireland (do they have GSTQ?) are the only anthems likely to be booed. Maybe Liechtenstein too, cause it sounds like GSTQ. I can’t see us going full England support, and booing everyone that turns up. And if we ever boo bonafide crackers like Italy or Russia, my head will be absolutely gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia's was well received at the Euros. I think it's rather dull tbh. Italy's is the best followed by France IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's also worth pointing out that these instances where VAR has benefited us have been acknowledged. Just because you benefit from something doesn't mean it's broadly a good thing. I was grateful for it when it awarded Dykes' goal, but I think I would trade having a goal wrongly chopped off to be able to freely celebrate a goal. Pre-VAR I would just have looked to the linesman after McT put it in, then I'd be able to celebrate fully if there was no flag. Instantly. On Saturday I knew that it was possible that the goal was offside, or came off his arm, and that the ref would be asked to check. The whole process would take over a minute before I knew whether it was a goal or not. I was sure it would be offside, and it took me ages to realise that it was in fact a goal. We're now only going to celebrate freely when it's a clear goal. That's what I'm irked with VAR about, the denial of the instant and visceral emotional catharsis that a goal brings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I don’t think this has been posted already, sure many will have seen it already but the other end of the ground video is truly beautiful: Robertson smashing the ground McGregor doing whatever he is doing. Gilnour going down with cramp. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
