I celebrate every goal and feel the angst after every look at those decisions afterwards. I much prefer actually getting cheated so often, to the risk of a goal I celebrated being chalked off.

I am sure you did. Being seven, I enjoyed the whole season, but felt a little bit down in the final league game and the cup final, but at that age and in your first season? It did not ruin the memories and emotions I had felt along the way.

Oh right. Great reply mate. Impressive stuff.

The biggest two arguments against VAR appear to be: 1) Referees and other officials have been exposed as either completely incompetent or corrupt. 2) It spoils the flow of the game. The first one is a ludicrous reason to get rid of it. It should be a reason to revamp and totally revolutionise the standard of officiating. The second one is no different to a goal being called back for a referees decision in the run up. VAR is not the problem. The problem is the sub-standard cowards running the show.

Fair few red dots on this post of mine. Can the folk who did so actually explain what it is about the content of the post that prompted it? If it is just purely disagreement, then quote it and say why.

No idea. All I know is that the number of utterly farcical decisions against HMFC has reduced through its use. Last season we got two penalties at Parkhead and both were only given after VAR intervention. I was closer to giving up on the whole corrupt shooting match due to the corruption in officiating PRE-VAR!

Yep. My first ever season. It was incredible. Loved it.

I started going to all home games and most away as a seven year old in 1986. I have been a season book holder (unbroken) since 1996. I still go to the away games that I can, and I never miss a cup game. I do get the whole thing about celebrating a goal, and then waiting on VAR to overrule it, but I can live with that. Far better to just improve the refereeing standard, and to eliminate so many utterly ridiculous decisions like the ones I mentioned in my long post. That frustration was unbearable.

In my experience this has not been the case. We have had penalties against them that we would not have been awarded before, and the things I mentioned in my long post would have been overturned. Honestly don’t know if people forget how bad it was previously, but maybe that varies from club supporter to club supporter. We have had the absolute knickers taken off us over the years at HMFC, and I prefer the way things are now. I absolutely want to see the idiots running the show fired out a cannon in to mid-Atlantic, but I want the improved accuracy in verdicts to stay.

That’s just some of the big incidents off the top of my head too. All the offside goals or undeserved penalties over the years. Nope much prefer this way.

They have had incidents overturned or turned in the other teams favour due to VAR that they would never have normally suffered. They hate it because it stops them getting as many things in their favour. Brendan Rodgers in particular hates that his team do not get as many favours as they used to. I much prefer what happens now compared to: Four players sent off at Ibrox mostly for f**k all Andy Webster told he must have elbowed himself in the eye, not John Hartson Dougie MacDonald sending off Webster and McCann at Rugby Park and Hartley in the 2006 cup final Andy Davis awarding Kyriakos a penalty for diving Barry Ferguson playing basketball Ian Brines sending off Fyssas for a dive by Maloney in a New Year’s Day game vs Celtic Allan McGregor kung-fu kicking Callum Elliot in the stomach Kenny Miller effectively ending Kevin McHattie’s career at a decent level with a knee high challenge at the touchline No thanks, I prefer when incompetence and bias are exposed and the officials made to look incompetent for their cowardice. I particularly enjoyed the nationwide ridicule when Dermot Gallagher reviewed the incident where the Motherwell player kicked Boyce in the chest and he booked him for diving. The two studio guests and him on SKY pissing themselves laughing at the referee. The more exposure these p***ks get the better

Yes. It is far better than the rage and frustration that I would endure on an almost weekly basis, caused by corrupt or inept officials. Keep it but get some decent officials in to operate it. The old firm would love to get rid of it.

I do not want to get rid of VAR. I would rather not go back to our fate being decided by cowardly officials giving incorrect decisions against us with impunity. The mere fact that Celtic and Rangers would love to bin it should tell you everything you need to know. Keep it but make it better and improve the standard of our shite officials.

Bunch of arse.

Bear in mind the cretin in question is from the Gorbals. Makes Dalkeith look like The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Tynecastle is a far nicer place without a full stand of the scuttling reptiles and their odious behaviour.

Put it better than I ever could. Thank you to your good self, and all those wise men of history. Especially Mr T.

Not until next season. They are in the bottom six.

I might make an exception for Benny Brazil… nah… I don’t wish death on him either tbf. Always admired his barnet.

You know what empty means, aye? Fanny.

Hating a bigot does not make someone a bigot. @wingnutis an entitled bigoted twat. Hope those “buses leaving Dalkeith” catch fire tbh… obviously when empty at the time, I mean.

Hating bigots does not a bigot make.

Then you need to look up the word bigot again before defending the p***k.

Because his first comment on the thread was about how he hates the local Hearts supporters almost as much or more than the Rangers supporters in the town where he lives. Akin to some bellend Brit abroad Brexit voting vagina, going on about assumptions of superiority around a Greek or Italian town. Boy’s a slavering bigoted twat.

Nah, it was bin-fired when the Dalkeith bigot started going on about how he despises supporters of the local professional football club.
