Genuinely interested what the people replying “VAR isn’t the problem, the operators are” think is going to improve, particularly with the technology Scottish football can afford.

Have seen quite a few polls like this and the answer has always been around the 90% mark…

Lovely new end VAR banner on display at our game yesterday. Clearly visible on the highlights.

Could see this being a draw. No doubt Shinnie back in but I would prefer to us continue without him starting.

Indeed. But how would you have felt if a few minutes later the ref had his hand in the air signalling the goal was offside?

Many of us attend the football for the moments you remember and talk about for years to come. Celebrating a last minute winner for example. So for us VAR very much is the problem as there is now always that doubt about whether the goal will stand.

Same. I have heard folk at away games saying it is their last season solely because of VAR.

Still nobody had any useful reply from their club?

Would they have a contract for the offside “technology?” Either way it needs binned.

Where is the action from the fans owned clubs in Scotland?

That would be better than the current situation since surely it would become instant as the technology improves.

Bin it completely.

It is not even the right call for me. Not clear and obvious. Linesman gave it onside.

What just happened in the FA cup tells you all you need to know about VAR.

Yes. No club has yet come out and stated they want it scrapped despite it costing them a lot of money and losing them customers. It simply doesn’t make business sense. Calling for “improvements” to VAR is not good enough as the technology simply isn’t there to improve it in any meaningful way. We are still going to be waiting a few minutes to measure offsides down to millimetres for example.

See an article on the BBC about recruiting a new VAR head of referees…

Any luck with a reply?

Would be good if we could get some more similar banners in the coming weeks.

Any pictures of this one?

It simply doesn’t make business sense for clubs to continue backing it. Making the experience far worse for your customers.

Heard there was a Motherwell fan speaking sense on the radio today?

Good work. I hope you get a response.

Genuinely interested to see what tweaks they come up with considering the technology available is unlikely to change. Instead of doing the sensible thing and binning it, they are surely likely to claim they have improved VAR before next season starts.

It was about time some of the other clubs got involved. Surely St Johnstone have to be next.

Urgently needs binned.
