Busta Nut Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I don't think grounds will have enough camera angles to make VAR all so worth it. sure main cameras can cover a good bit. VAR is a farce in general and I dunno if it will be worth it while the camera angles are limited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forfend a smaller club makes a cup run - would they have the means to host the technology? This aside from the fact VAR is awful regardless of how it's implemented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McQueen Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I’m not sure how games with 2 cameras can have VAR? This is most games. So more cameras or only var for TV games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to suggest a review panel consisting of small town taxi drivers as Super scoreboard would have a heavy glasgow bias. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Scottish football's implementation of VAR will be utterly fucking tinpot. I can't wait [emoji23]Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Only thing VAR would be 'good' for would be checking if a penalty was a dive. Not celebrating a goal because you have to wait for ages to find out if someone's shirt was tugged 10 minutes earlier? No thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 My issue is not necessarily about it being introduced, but the cost it would incur. It's not going to stop people complaining about referees, or decisions in general. One positive though, I suppose, is it would catch out Porteous when he's diving to win a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Yes. Get it done. Seeing a Morelos goal chalked off because his fringe is offside would be fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Cabbage Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Just sent over an email to Hibs’ Fans Rep to pass this on. Don’t expect this to make a difference because the SFA will do it anyway but doing everything we can to make it clear as supporters that we don’t want it is all we can do. I would also vote in this, although it’s ran by a fanny it’s a supporters organisation that’ll be quoted for soundbites if it goes the wrong way.

JamieThomas Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Chuckling at the lads who think obvious dives would be punished. Away and look at the VAR penalty Real Madrid got the other day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyellowbox Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Would work if it didn't mean a massive delay before getting a goal decision. If it is the think lines for offside, I wouldn't want it. I think rightly or wrongly, there is a perception in Scotland that our refs are either no good or too easily influenced, do if it can guarantee a more level playing field, could be a good thing. I'd make a condition that no scortish ref should do the VAR check and it should be someone remote from Scotland as would become very toxic very quickly. Would also have to be a set number of cameras used. Eg if only 3 camera's used at Almondvale, can only be 3 angles everywhere else. Also worth noting, the SFA will be getting pressure from UEFA to do this. They will not want games one week 1 week in Europe with VAR then none domestically and then back to VAR etc. They will want consistency.

However, one of the reasons that the cost is so high is for the technology required. All grounds would require the same amount of cameras, covering most possible angles, so to suggest that a VAR would come into Scottish football with the existing number of cameras is an absolute non-starter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 All teams except one will sign up for this, that remaining team will claim that the deal is not good enough and they had a previous agreement for Shuggy, who normally works in the Louden Tavern along the road, to video the game with his iPhone and they can't go back on that contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
