greenockraver Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Noticed earlier that it has been confirmed that VAR will be in use during the playoffs. Good or bad news for us ? BBC Sport 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Patterson Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Probably good news on the whole tbh. How many times has a bad decision fucked us over? But then again, all one needs to do is look at the Women's World Cup and see how it worked for Scotland there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep62 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Agree we won't probably be there but if we are you just know it is going to work against us. Glorious failure is what we do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrTroopMajor Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Had VAR been in place throughout the last 15-20 years, we may well have got to a major tournament (Czech Republic game at Hampden being the most obvious refereeing clusterfuck). That being said, VAR is absolutely horrific and is ruining everything that is great about the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same match Charlie Adam raked his studs down a Czech fella's shin, in the box, and the ref didn't see it. VAR would have given a penalty and a sending off. Utterly agree with the second sentence here. It makes me relieved I support a diddy team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 VAR should be good, but they've done a pretty terrible job of it. I still think it has potential to be a very good thing and they should stick with it and tweak the system until they get it right. It's shite for fans though. You don't have a clue what's going on half the time. I was at a game where a goal went to VAR, bit strange as I thought there was nothing wrong with it, two minutes later they gave a penalty down the other end. Nobody in the stadium had the faintest what was going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the referee indicating the shape of a TV with his hands, a huge screen saying 'VAR CHECK', the referee pointing to the spot and a penalty being taken not clue you in. What part of that is confusing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Decent news. It means that maybe one or two goals from Braut-Haaland's double hattrick against us might be dissalowed. Yay! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part of that is confusing?The confusing point was that nobody knew why the goal was being referred to VAR as it looked perfectly legitimate. Nobody thought about the of the ball push forty-five seconds earlier at the other end of the pitch.I always laugh when people assume every stadium has a huge screen that tells you when VAR is being used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yeah, I think it's fairly clear how it can be confusing for people in the ground. We really need the referees mic'd up so that fans know what they're looking at. It would also put an end to the abuse referees get every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
