The Master Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 13 minutes ago, Ginaro said: Presumably there will be a static camera in line with the goal line which should cover most cases where there is a close call. I think that's unlikely. The non-televised games will have six cameras (seven for Alba games), which means the addition of one camera at each 18-yard line on top of what's currently used for highlights. Fixed goal-line cameras are a luxury in VAR terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to be a die hard supporter of your team and not give a f**k about other leagues that you've got no connection to whatsoever - I'm in that boat myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same. I have considerably less time to watch football than I did as a younger guy so I won’t watch anything other than Scottish football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Cabbage Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 1 hour ago, Donathan said: This is the crux of it for me. You see football as “entertainment”. I see it as a competitive sport where the players and teams deserve it to be fairly officiated. I suggest you go to the theatre instead, then you’ll get the drama you want.

Arch Stanton Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I've been to only one game which had VAR, the aforementioned Scotland v Israel. I celebrated when Dykes scored, I celebrated again when the Ref awarded it. It wasn't difficult. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they make mistakes but so do players, coaches and indeed stewards. The sheer amount of decisions they have to make at normal speed in one game alone is a mammoth task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to be so unbothered about the consequences that I could genuinely celebrate a goal with as much gusto even if I'm not sure if it's definitely going to stand. But I can't, so there we go. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Heliums Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) 29 minutes ago, Theyellowbox said: Because, you will find that scottish footballs fans to a man, woman and child, will watch some form of football outside Scotland. I don't, or at least I can't remember the last time I watched a non-Scottish domestic game. I don't watch football because it's a sport; I watch it because I have an emotional attachment to St Johnstone, or Scotland. If I valued football purely as a sporting spectacle, I sure as f*** wouldn't be going up to McDiarmid every other week.

Especially if you have a young family. It's hard enough getting the time to watch your own team without having to justify watching Scunthorpe. That and the fact that I find it difficult to watch a game where I couldn't give a toss who wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamora Fan Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 The buzz and bounce of scoring a goal is the best thing about football for me and this feels like it will ruin the moment now there’s always that feeling it might be overturned a minute later. So for that reason I’m sad about this.Best example is our Scottish cup final winner in 2014. Just wouldn’t have been the same if we had to wait 2/3 minutes while someone in a room decides if Maclean was offside/slid in to Czerzniak too forcefully or whatever. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football let’s you down 99% of the time. The reason you return time and time again to such misery are the big moments of unbridled joy. I just don’t get that people are willing to sacrifice that. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
