lanky_ffc Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 More detail on the sums here. £67,594 for 11th and 12th rising up to £195,751 for 1st. Pocket change for the OF but that's a couple of first team players for the smaller clubs in the league. SPFL are on the hunt for a VAR sponsor and issue a plan to divide the estimated £1.4m annual cost | Daily Mail Online 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drafted an email to send to my club before deciding to patch it, as I emailed them earlier this season when the first mumblings of this broke and they clearly ignored it. I know it’s a cliche but football really has been stolen from us by a bunch of wealth hoarding Tory charlatans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Not that it’ll affect Dundee any time soon, but one advantage of this should be that every game will have at least six cameras for the highlights. Presumably the current four will have 18-yard cameras added. Unless they end up being for VAR only, as happened for some FA Cup replays down south a few seasons ago. I think it was Newcastle v Rochdale in January 2020 that had a full multi-camera OB, but the BBC could only use a single camera to show highlights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Stiles Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 VAR is a great idea that is being very very very very badly used especially if rules are being changed to suit it. There have been some horrific decisions over the last couple of weeks that should have put the most ardent of supporters off it. Forget it until they can get their act together. Also introducing it mid season is ridiculous but we're talking Scottish football here. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinch should just sponsor it, then 'the rangers' will refuse to use it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Handsome Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The Well Society send out an email to members today asking for their opinion before the deadline, which will be discussed at Society and Executive level before a vote is made. Not sure if it will actually make a difference, but I fired an email off anyway talking about how crap it is - more eloquently put of course. I honestly believe VAR will do more damage to the game than good, which it seems most other season ticket holders agree with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 People complain about the league being tinpot but don't want us to use technology the same as all the top leagues (and in tier two in some countries) in the world? I think it would get good publicity and will attract a very decent sponsor. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing back and having the courage to say we'll wait until we're convinced it's working properly is far from it. Obviously Hampden will do the former though as England have it and they also don't want a couple of their refs to miss out on a jolly at a major tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the case though, it's deep down because it will cost clubs some money. Every nation has it that isn't tinpot, not just England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm bored out my tits at a match waiting for a decision, or when I realise that I've stopped celebrating goals properly because they can be chalked off for any manner of minor infringements well after the fact, I'll comfort myself with the thought of all that good publicity. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about celebrating awards such as goals/disallowed ones/penalties once the video ref has it correct? It all adds to the excitement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does actually when you watch the games from down south. Go mental, shite yourself, go mental again or into despair.

Beyond that, not interested. For example, I'm delighted that there was no VAR to overturn Oor Craig Thomson giving the penalty in the 2012 Cup Final Massacre. As without that, Hibs' ten men would probably have gone on to win 6-2. Get VAR to f**k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSaints1877 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 VAR completely sucks the life out of fitba goal celebrations as far as I’m concerned. Leave it to the rugby, tennis and cricket Tories. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
