It’s pretty obvious that’s the way it should be, I’d even go as far to say if it’s not ready for game 1 then it has to wait until next season starts.
However Scottish football is run at the behest of Celtic so it will be brought in when it suits them to do so.
VAR would have had zero influence on the situation with the Livi player who should have had a second yellow shortly before Martingale hooked him. VAR doesn't adjudicate yellow cards, even if one would lead to a red being shown.
Very eloquently put and 100% bang on the nail.
We need it as soon as possibie
It’s a fucking joke from start to finish

Not even if he said shite was brown would I agree with that ginger haired bawbag.
He just knows ra sellick are fucked.
His favourite line of how the rules says it is but he thinks it isn't will be screwed as well.
Sorry mate, Michael is still talking shite, VAR needs to be introduced as soon as it can be!

Disagree
Get it in asap regardless of when it is
The more decisions we get right the better, simple as that
I get the logic of what you/he’s saying but let’s say next game at Ibrox we don’t use it because we never used it today and we get 2 perfectly good goals chopped off and lose 1-0. How’s that benefit anyone?
That logic works on the assumption that if we get a shite ref against us today we got one for us at Ibrox and that’s never the case in reality

It should either have been place today, or shouldn’t be used until next season. I get they want it in as soon as possible but they (although I know they have previous) shouldn’t be changing rules during the season. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that all teams, some more than others, will have a cases where they will drop points due to errors of the referee and their assistants prior to VAR being introduced. And then others will gain points later in the season where decisions are made correctly due to VAR, and fans and clubs will legitimately be able to argue to earlier on in the season, the Colak goal today being a prime example (even more so had we not taken any points). It’ll be a shit show until it is implemented over the course of the season.

To be fair they can only employ 16% of the applications judging by what school they went to.

It should have been introduced at the start of this season or the start of next. This is the only fair way to introduce imho, given the imbalance of our fixture list, given the nature of the split.
It should be the start of the season - or not at all!
You don't change your rules half way through the season.

It will only be brought in at a time to help a certain club just like the 5 subs rule.

My default position on any issue is Michael Stewart is wrong and he is wrong here again
VAR leads to more correct decisions
How can a team be disadvantaged by correct decicions being made?
Is this because of the totally unscientific belief that somehow because of some magical power in the universe the incorrect decisions perfectly balance out over the course of a season
A belief for which there is no proof offered whatsoever but has been repeated so often by empty headed pundits it has somehow become accepted as true
It is pish and the sooner the correct decisions start being made
There is only one reason that these guys are against it and thst is because the current system favours their team

I was raging at the linesman today for disallowing a perfectly legitimate goal, however, when I got home I realised Colak was so in line with the last defender, he was effectively making said defender invisible to the linesman, which caused him to put his flag up in the split second decision he had to make. VAR is required to help the officials in such instances and can't come soon enough.
Michael Stewart is an utter wretch, though, and I'm loathed to agree with him on anything.

Michael just wants his peado club to get half a season of refereeing at the standard he wants.

Dont forget tho when it does come in, its still down to someones definition or interpretations of the laws of the game as to whether its a correct decision or a mistake has been made, so still plenty of scope for things to go against us, the goal chalked off in Europa League last season for Kent is a prime example. We could see clearly its a foul ON Alfie yet ref calls it back, disallows the goal and says Alfie fould the other guy. We'd need impartial, English or foreign VAR refs.

"Exactly half way through" doesn't make a difference when some teams only play some others away twice while others play the same team twice at home. It is already an unbalanced league in that respect.
At the end of the day, getting VAR operational ASAP is going to (hopefully) increase accuracy of decisions. We should benefit from that.
Ask yourself why M Stewart and his ilk wouldn't want it in place until halfway through or the start of next season.

In England they have about 12 cameras at non televised games, and about 20-25 at televised games.
Up here we have about 12 on televised and 4 at non televised.
It will be very different and not to the standard even at the euros

Exactly, but if you get loads of dodgy decisions going your way constantly (guess who) then VAR will impact that.
Fair nothing.The unwashed are bricking it and the mouthpieces told the script.
You really need to look at what is being suggested here, only in Scotland could the potential of getting decisions right be seen as 'unfair'.
When your whole marketing potential is playing to the paranoid thims about decisions in games (the ones Rangers get and the ones ra sellick don't), what happens when VAR gubs that?
These muppets in the media won't know what to do.

But like having the mod season break half way through and not postponing it to allow a certain team to sign more players and field them against us

I’ll tell you why it’s not in place yet.
Its to give the bheggers the best possible start in the league.

Our game is run by morons. We have the worst refs in the history of Scottish Football. We have the worst pundits in the history of Scottish football.
We have teams playing on plastic pitches, we have teams unwilling to earn revenue by selling us tickets when three stands are almost empty.
We have no commercial idea or direction for our product.
We have the worst Tv deal probably out of any league in Europe.
We have two Govern bodys for a small country run by absolute dinosaurs who have zero interest in improving anything.
VAR wiull be another mess when it comes out.

We all know the timing is controversial, no need to agree with that twat. The SFA with another half baked idea regarding the timing of it's introduction, what goes on in their pathetic wee heids, it's beyond me.

Why half way through the season? It was blatant cheating when they did that with the 5 sub rule last season. By changing the rules after the season starts it changes the "sporting integrity" (remember that) of the competitions.
That said, and all morals pished down a drain, I want it in NOW. Rats like Connor and Mulvannay etc. won't get away with as much.

Has he ever come out with that shite in games not involving us? Tbf to the cretin it is original punditry.
"Yeah, I know the laws but really because it's Rangers and I don't like them, that wrong decision was correct."
Requesting the views of a larger group is a good thing sometimes mate, especially if it means you are shown the light and discover you actually disagree with Michael Stewart!
