I am not for it,can you imagine a scenario in a vital old firm game,ooft. And who would govern it,personally I'm all for keeping as is because I doubt it would be more impartial.
VAR Cannot Come Quick Enough
- Thread starter a_weir
- Start date
When a referee admits that he clearly got a vital decision wrong then it’s time to start sanctioning referees and not giving them the easy option of hiding behind VAR
The first 5 minutes last night and the penalty decision should see Beaton demoted - and not just for a token game.
We were shocking in the second half and allowed Aberdeen to get back into the game. Maybe we deserved to drop points.
Beaton changed the course of the game by failing to do his job correctly. We deserved a penalty and certain Aberdeen players were lucky not to be booked earlier which would have made them think twice about their game.
Cheating ? I’m not sure.
Inept ? Certainly

So we have VAR and the referee adjudicating is Beaton. What do the blind on here think will happen? I include every cheating Scottish referee in this scenario.

Just watched the highlights.
There was a push by Griffiths in the build up, and then another by Christie in the box. If it had been at the other end, it’d never have been allowed.

All the usual suspects say we will be shafted by it but they can’t shaft us on decisions as clear cut as like that.
We have just lost to an offside goal that was their only shot on goal. Our penalty would have been retaken as lurch was three steps of his line too. We can all moan that we would be shafted by it but in certain circumstances like today it’s black and white.

We would have had a penalty and their goal wouldn't have counted. It's badly needed for finals like this.

If their goal is ruled out there’s no peno etc, Alfie was lucky to be on the pitch and we should of scored about 4 by HT. Gutted

1 more penalty for us, Morelos penalty retaken. Mhanks never score.
As well as a penalty against Aberdeen.
That’s what VAR gives us.

Right I get that. I’m not a moron.
Taking the incidents individually both are directly effected by var and in our favour both times.
Coza

Don’t be so paranoid.
They can’t draw squiggly lines and makes offside players onside etc.
In the black and white instances like today we won’t be on the wrong end twice.

Yep. I’d pay for it myself if I could afford it.
Whilst the officials are biased and incompetent they’re dining out on ‘oh well I didn’t see it like that’.
Regardless of who is the VAR, that offside goal is never given.

A whole load of nope, today you had the BT @official' saying Broon kicking Alfie wasn't a penalty.
Would make no difference, would still be manned by tits.

So it would still have called a penalty wrong then?

So what you’re telling me is that because VAR would only get 1 out of those 2 specific points right, that you’d rather have a system of officials that got 0/2 right?
Okay then mate.

I do not have confidence that a referee/ monitor/ whatever making the call would have called that offside.

Live on TV, in front of millions, that offside goal does not get given. VAR makes referees accountable to the TV audiences and not just their small wee sad bastard club where they rate each other on their performances.
It goes up on big screens in the stadium with clear lines showing it offside. They cannot hide from it. The goal doesn’t get given. Simple

Don’t be utterly brain dead. He and others are half a body offside. They can’t draw squiggly lines and make player on/off.

Offsides are still being given as offside.
No scary new technology is going to change that.

Not having it cost us a cup and could have still had us level with them. Plus their winning goal on Wednesday would have been ruled off.
Just don’t understand this mentality of keeping technology out of our game.

We need VAR ASAP! We were robbed by poor officials!
This game was ruined by a blind linesman unable to spot 3 players offside.
Very poor advert for Scottish football, embarrassing in fact.
Even if they just have VAR for cup finals it would be a step in the right direction. As per the below article VAR costs £5k per match, that is a relativley small investment for having a final that has a just result.

Far from brain dead, thanks. Have you missed the compliance officer ignoring or dismissing multiple incidents involving them? You are assuming that the incident would even get called for a review.

If you genuinely think that live on TV, in front of millions, that both the VAR and referee say that goal is onside, you’re delusional.
Sorry mate but even in the corrupt Italian league that wouldn’t happen.

All goals are called for review. It’s not even debatable ffs.

I'll agree to disagree mate, as Coza said we play in a footballing backwater, and there is not chance that VAR would lead to impartial decision making.

Not to mention they can’t just suspend the “all goals are reviewable” for their team.
I’m not even sure the Germans in Escape to Victory would attempt to count their goal today with VAR.

My point is as above, reviewed by impartial people equals the same result.
At the end of the day, we fucked that for ourselves today.

The use of VAR hasn’t been great but you’re spot on. Their goal doesn’t stand today. All we ask for is consistency and a level playing field.

Having VAR won't change that when the person doing the reviewing is just as bad as the ref or biased, does it?
We score, when we were playing the way we were, and its done, they wouldn't have came back.

We play in a country that ignores the systematic abuse of children on religious and club loyalty grounds. And you think you would get impartial decision makers?
Can't afford full time officials
Can't afford goal line tech
Can't afford multi ball ffs
VAR aint coming anytime soon
