    I think the perfect solution to this was given by someone above.

    Allow transfer of member tickets but cancel the home point accumulated if you do it.

    I can't see a downside to this.

    The downside is if no-one wants to buy it.  Then you're paying for a ticket you can only give away and aren't even getting the point for it.

    Clubs don't take LPs off fans if they can't make a game.  

    Take the point if you give me the money back, fine

    Loads of people upset they can't harvest home points now

    Hmmm.  If you're selling someone a ST for games a year in advance, coupled with the fact groups will want to be sat together should you be taking the money off them then punishing them if they can't get along to a game.  Maybe if there was a facility to re-sell the ticket then fine but this seems overly punitive.

    You're actively making an already over priced item with two duff friendlies to pad it out less attractive

    Its not the system though, can you say one instance where the VAR tech failed and it wasn't operator fault

    Even if theres one or a couple, thats amongst thousands of games with VAR in use 

    You're confusing the system of VAR, with the technology.  

    The system involves multiple manual checks of subjective calls in the futile hope of eradicating errors in judgement.  It slows down the game for a statistically negligible, and debatable, increase in accuracy.

    Though the offside tech used is inaccurate and there are not enough cameras for it to ever give all necessary angles

     

  4. It's absolutely shite, but we're stuck with it.

    If i was going to suggest a change it'd be a 20 second limit on any check before referring the ref to a monitor then move on.  If it's no blatantly wrong immediately, then its no what it was for

    I think most fans don't really care. Of course, most fans are cheek supporters, who claim to dislike VAR simply to further a sense of injustice towards their trophy-laden club.

    Then there are the fans who use it as an excuse not to attend games, like those who say "I won't be back until the manager's gone." and then find some other excuse not to go once the man in charge has been punted.

    Those who genuinely think VAR is bad enough for Scottish football to make the mildest of fuss are probably a small minority (a literal small minority, not an Old Firm small minority).

    I don't know a single fan who likes it.  The level of dislike varies certainly but I've genuinely met no-one irl who thinks it's worthwhile.

    Those are match going fans, the ones I've seen online defend it are largely tv viewers.

    Why do you think the panel has a better idea of which decisions have been "fucked" than the referees?

    Did i say they did?  I don't see much on that list to disagree with tbh, but there's definitely things on that list that the refereeing teams have inarguably got wrong between them.

    The point of the panel, there isn't one and it undermines the refereees, but doesn't mean that they've not correctly identified clear errors

     

  7. The worat thing about this list of mistakes published, other than the fact it's clearly not definitive, is that these are obvious errors that our referees have had 2 or 3 attempts at and still fucked, which makes it worse than the position before VAR where they could only make an arse of it once.

    It's no for fans benefit and we should have resisted it much more strongly than we did.  We're stuck with it now and will just have to hope it evolves to a position where we're not spending 20% of a game checking whether someone has inadvertently brushed a cross with their arm.

    The two penalties were obviously wrong calls.

    Tbf the red card was in our favour, so not really fucked over.

    13 admitted wrong calls is up massively from the 3 in the first round of games. So either they weren't honest with what was incorrect in the first round, or VAR is working worse. Either way it's a shite look. 

    There was a red card call that went against us in that list as well, Will Dennis on Oda at Rugby Park

  9. Listen, people are entitled to their opinions but anyone who would take Brown, who has been absolutely shite for Scotland, over Shankland needs to grow up.  

    Shankland is playing unbelievably well atm.  Him not going would be a joke

    Tie of the round for me.
    Hope our neighbours triumph over the maroon mob. 
    Jack Baird to “malky” Shankland early doors. 
    I would like to see a repeat of this image at the end of the game in the WDE.

    All i can take from this is St Mirren have a tinpot rivalry with Morton.

    When did we last start them both though?

    Every time we've started them both we've been route 1 shite.  The Ukraine playoff springs to mind.

    Edit:  that's a bit unfair.  We were very good against England with them both.  Terrible against Croatia but we also beat Austria away and played well.

    When they've both played and we've gone route 1 it's been dismal.
