The break is just another disruption to an already start stop schedule badly hit by international breaks. Also, when a club goes out of a cup competition early, you can add in even more blank weekends. I'm totally against it and the bullshit reason for it.

Amazon have that facility. The difference is remarkable. Whichever TV Exec decided that what would improve coverage was introducing the pub experience of being sat next to two bores who sit and chat inane garbage for the entire match needs taken out and shot.

It wasn't a referendum. Those that weren't 100% against it initially didn't actually vote it in. As you say it was imposed. It was just an opinion. The anti-VAR zealots had has much input into the decision as the others did. It's weird behaviour throwing tantrums and slaughtering folk who weren't 100% against it.

Wow. How amazing are you. The one thing worse that a bod loser is a bad 'winner'. Well done you two. Well done. Hoping something would work is not the same as wanting it in the first place. But carry on gloating, having tantrums and decrying anyone that wasn't 100% FUKC VAR but kept an open mind, something quite rare in Scottish football. You do it so well.

That's exactly how I thought it'd work. It'd add an extra pair of eyes to help refs see what was going on, especially with obvious cheating, and quickly clarify other matters. But no. It ignores blatant rule breaking to focus on minutiae and ruin games. I was reminded how needless it is when seeing a couple of non-VAR games recently. Normal TV coverage and replays cleared up virtually all decisions within seconds, as was the case before VAR's introduction. They don't get absolutely everything right but neither does VAR. The difference in accuracy doesn't justify the financial and emotional cost of the game ruiner. It's not needed. It never was needed. Get in binned ASAP.

Loy was with nine clubs in his career. He played twice for Rangers, the lowest number of appearances for any of them. He also played 5 times for Scotland U-21s. He's a classic example of the ridiculous ex-Rangers/Celtic life-time honour bestowed on their rejects by the bigot fawning media.

Of course no mention of the clear St Johnstone penalty for Taylor having both his arms wrapped round Jaiyesimi during the clips until he finally let go to try and boot the ball clear but the Saints guy got there first to score. Poetic justice.

Obviously it'd be for a single bed.

I know they've still to be scored but I'm never impressed with penalty takers being highly ranked as goalscorers, especially when they play for the Old Firm.

There was actually no need to doctor the shirt for the comments to be valid.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's FIFA/UEFA's plan. Goal line technology, VAR and now the first step to fully automated offside is continually undermining their role. They're heading the same way as bus conductors, milkmen and supermarket check-out operators.

Thought the police may move the Hearts tie but I see Ainslie's capacity is 3612 so no reason it should be moved. Well, apart from the police being the police of course. Don't get the attraction of Clyde v Aberdeen. Forfar v Hibs would better for the BBC's love of a potential upset. A real old fashioned ground and you'd get a great atmosphere. They might also be tempted by Ross County v Partick given what happened in the play-off. But of course our public broadcaster is a law unto themselves so will probably go for Brora v Cove as both teams are called Rangers.

I still see Salford bandied about on twitter tbh. Many thanks though. Interesting.

Neither it is. It's just over the border from the edges of Salford. I've never been interested enough to check it out before and being so close to Salford Quays just accepted it was. Why do City fans say Salford then? Just a poor wind up or ignorance? That welcome to Manchester poster for Teves was still correct as well as being brilliant though!

I didn't realise Berwick was such a *** loving place.

No. If another vote was known to be taken the next year then I'm sure there would've been a fan reaction along the lines of getting them to change their stance on where the new club entered the league set up. Feelings were still very raw about the Sevco situation. Plenty of time to lobby and pressure him into a change of vote but they never even tried by the looks of things. They just capitulated at the first set back. It wasn't a once in a lifetime situation. The other clubs made it one.

Why was it a once in a lifetime opportunity to change the voting system? They had four years with only one bigot in the top division. Why didn't they vote again?

Surely all VAR did was show that it wasn't a penalty and the player dived. It was then this refs decision to book him as many don't or are you saying the VAR said 'It's a dive. Issue a yellow card' which he wouldn't have done unless told to?

It's really not.

Never knew that. Surprised it's not used more by County fans in the way Manchester City fans do about United and Salford.

Sitting surrounded by drafts firing in through the gaps between the panels isn't my idea of fun.

Imagine being blissfully unaware someone hadn't cut their toe nails that morning so was deemed offside by manipulated rules at a goal accepted as legitimate by all that saw it with their own eyes and you had nothing to gripe about.

I take it they only change the wording after 'and' every week.

That sounds like the biggest load of twitter made up garbage I've heard in a while. When discussing VAR's removal you've to factor in one of the main reasons given for bringing it in was to allow Scottish refs to be given Euro/big competition games as it's now a requirement. I think helping clubs competing in Euro games was also a reason. (Obviously this was thinking of all Scottish clubs, not only helping a couple that qualify every year) What the fans want is never going to win when the Hampden suits are basically looking after their chums as per usual.
