Chasing VAR out of Scotland
KingswellsRed replied to HibsFan's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
won’t be renewing my season ticket and aberDNA donations unless I see my club publicly calling for the end of VAR. it is having too much impact on my enjoyment of attending the football. -
Would some sort of petition be worth a go given the strength of the feeling? Unlikely to work I know.
-
If it means we can get back to celebrating goals and doing the things which made attending the football so popular in the first place, then yes I absolutely would accept “errors.”
-
Have never understood the argument that it is not VAR but the people operating it. Have also never understood the idea that VAR makes watching games on tv more entertaining. Shows how out of touch with the fans the pundits are.

Will Warnock "Hibs it"?
KingswellsRed replied to Ric's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
No, we won’t be relegated and we won’t be in the playoff. -
Or Scottish clubs could actually survey their fans on this important issue.
-
I certainly have emailed my club.
-
Is there anybody on here with any behind the scenes insight at a club? I know it was previously rumoured Aberdeen said they would vote against VAR if there was ever another vote on it but if that genuinely is their view, they need to come out and say it.
-
So the results are conclusive. Surely clubs can’t continue to ignore the feeling of fans. Somehow we need to make it known.
-
Simple question. Would you like to see VAR remain part of Scottish football next season?

Time for a new poll? -
VAR in Scottish Football
KingswellsRed replied to Les Cabbage's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Another day of waiting for a ref with his finger in his ear today numerous times. Some in recent weeks have gone for us and some against but that is not the point. Football is so much better without VAR. -

We are only stuck with it if fans accept it. A coordinated effort and it would soon be gone. -
VAR in Scottish Football
KingswellsRed replied to Les Cabbage's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I can’t say I have, mainly because the club have said they would vote for it to be scrapped a couple of times now. Perhaps I should though. The other problem is, it doesn’t seem likely there will be a vote. -
VAR in Scottish Football
KingswellsRed replied to Les Cabbage's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
With 86% of fans saying VAR is reducing their enjoyment of football in a Scottish survey, how do we get this removed from our game? -
The impact for that wicket wasn’t even really close. Can’t believe he didn’t review.
-
Yes, we knew government was chaotic at the time without the entire inquiry being focused on it. There is still very little on the actual data and instead a lot of people’s opinions about what was the right thing to do.
-
I don’t think it is fair to say everyone who was/is against lockdowns just wanted old people to die.
-
Is it just me or does the UK inquiry appear to only be asking “how much earlier and harder should we have locked down” rather than looking properly at everything from a cost/benefit angle? The Scottish one appears much more balanced so far. For example, today it has become clear masks weren’t initially introduced because there was no scientific evidence for them (and there still isn’t in the real world) but eventually the pressure became too much from unions etc. Yet, still the discussion seems to be around why they weren’t just introduced straight away.
-
Quite pleasing to see it all ending like this. Feels like small bit of payback for the ridiculous restrictions the public in Scotland had to endure for far too long.

The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
KingswellsRed replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Just a matter of time now before he is gone. Completely out of his depth and unqualified for the job. Better to get a proper manager in sooner rather than later as there is still a good opportunity to get 3rd with the Edinburgh clubs also struggling. -
What I find interesting is that almost everyone considers mankading completely unacceptable while yesterday’s incident has generally been seen as ok. I have always thought a mankade is perfectly justified, particularly in T20 when batsmen are trying to cheat and it can have a crucial impact on the result. Yesterday I am less sure about as even the umpires had started their walk and there was clearly no intention to gain any advantage. Having said that, I don’t blame the Aussies taking the wicket.

The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
KingswellsRed replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I do have enough points for a ticket. I just think away fans are part of football and there should be rules in place to protect that, within reason. -
The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
KingswellsRed replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Most leagues have proper rules on away allocations.. It is the SPFL who are the outlier here by having a “reasonable allocation” rule which basically allows clubs to please themselves. One person’s interpretation of “reasonable” could be 5000 tickets while another’s 100 or 10% versus 1%. -

Yes exactly. As I said the other day, proper away allocation rules are needed urgently. This “reasonable allocation” nonsense is typical of the SPFL though.
