The Scotsman reported that it will be in operation from the fourth round at televised games from Premiership grounds. So Celtic v Morton (which I’m sure @virginton will be delighted about), Hibs v Hearts and St Johnstone v Rangers will seemingly have it. Other ties with the Premiership team at home will need an agreement between the teams involved as to how the costs would be covered. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/var-to-be-used-in-the-scottish-cup-from-the-fourth-round-but-only-up-to-6-of-the-16-fixtures-3939220?amp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referees being against them and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 We should know by tomorrow what (if any) games will have VAR when the SFA announce the match officials. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 VARs and AVARs have only been appointed for the televised games at Premiership grounds; so Celtic v Morton, St Johnstone v Rangers and Hibs v Hearts. In fact, only the televised games (including Darvel v Aberdeen) have fourth officials. I’m sure it used to be that all games involving top flight clubs had fourth officials at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only three other games could have had VAR officials, but the Premiership clubs probably didn't think it was worth it as they were playing diddy clubs like Dumbarton, University of Stirling, and Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Why and with what authority have the SFA media department decided goals scored in the Preliminary Round don't count toward the Top Scorer award any more? Mackenzie of Darvel is tied with Hester, not 1 goal behind, and Grant of Dunipace is ahead of them both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Get your Scottish Cup day off to a cheery start with a look at the ties and results from a hundred years ago. Interesting how many teams aren’t around anymore.

HibeeJibee Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Quick look at what different faces we might see next season. Perhaps not that many. I heard or read somewhere that "5 or 6" clubs are going for licences. That isn't to say they'd all succeed. If right several must be in WOSL which would be as expected. Over in EOSL just Bo'ness Athletic and Leith definitely have compliant grounds while Armadale and Oakley look like being well along the way (but Oakley's lights would need upgraded). Nobody else currently have the essential elements. Of course ground facilities aren't the sole factor - also considerable pavilion criteria and many qualifications + policies needed, which prove beyond some clubs capabilities. There might be 1 or 2 from SOSL and Tayside going by murmurings about improvements/etc. Whatever the reality there is certainly much less 'noise' than previous years. There could be as many as 5 or 6 league qualifiers: up from 4 this season. Loch Ness look almost certain to win North Caledonian; with BoD having ascended Culter or Hermes will prevail in duel for North Junior title; nobody except Lochee Utd is licensed in Tayside race; nobody at all is licensed in SOSL race; and Beith currently lead WOSL albeit pursued by Darvel and Auchinleck. There will be 2 cup qualifiers (maybe 3 if Dundee East Craigie or Glenafton win Junior Cup). Amateur Cup is at QFs with Cupar v Tollcross, Doune v Steins, EK Thistle Colts v Tannochside and EK Rolls Royce v Cowie this Saturday. Luncarty, Renfrew, and either Abbey Vale or Creetown will contest the Cup-Winners' Shield - latter pair also in SOSL title race but history says unlikely to win Shield. On the debit side... Syngenta don't look like putting in an appearance next season - club has collapsed and haven't fulfilled an EOSL game for 4 weeks. If for sake of argument there were 5 new licensed clubs and 8 qualifiers then the initial preliminary round would need reinstated - by my reckoning contested solely by those 8 qualifiers. For each club fewer than 5 or 8 some qualifier would receive a random bye e.g. 4 and 7 means 2 ties & 4 byes.
