ArabFC Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 9 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: VAR would be fine if it only analyses clear and obvious errors and NOT every incident as does currently. Also, VAR shouldn't get involved in offside situations; put some trust in the guys and gals who are trained and paid to do the job. Sure, they get some wrong but the vast majority they get right. Sorry for repeating myself to the point of boredom, but the whole fucking point is that this is an impossibility. Once you introduce the technology, you can’t inhibit it. Rangers or Celtic concede a goal that was a yard offside depriving them of points and the ex-players and media go mental denouncing the refusal to use technology that is in place. What a backward country Scotland is etc etc etc. Its all or nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the league can decide to use the technology in any way it sees fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Well, I thought it might have more effect than an essay on realism. But I'll give it a quick bash, idealogical notions (we'll just use VAR for this) are in real life soon oblitarated primarily on considerations of given circumstances and factors (something bad happening to the Old Firm). Even ignoring that, there is an inherent contradiction in introducing a technology on the basis of getting the decisions right, while ignoring the same technology that would show you getting other decisions wrong. It wouldn't stand. Indeed there would be far more noise surrounding the refusal to use the technology than existed prior to its introduction. For a blindingly obvious example, see the pitch that was made by most pundits down south, speaking in favour of VAR's introduction, that it would stop them having to waste their time talking about refereeing decisions all the time - how has that worked out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spot of the ball is a challengable play too. Reviewed subjectively by not using goal line technology. Spotting is challengeable at a cost if you get it wrong which is also reviewed subjectively. Given the technology available, I just find it rather strange they don't use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 This is a problem in rugby too. Referees understand it there, you’ll often hear then saying “ Show me that at full speed.”. VAR as it is currently used can get in the sea. The over analysis of incidents, the going back 40s to find Incidents and the attempt for millimetre precision on offsides is pathetic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the fault of VAR as such right enough, just a couple of clowns who seem to see something different from the rest of us. John Higgins type situation from a few years back ?? It certainly makes you wonder......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost can be recouped by taking it from a percentage of solidarity payments - and even things like selling sponsorship rights to it. "We now go to the VAR Check presented by Tennents Lager" This is not recouping the cost - this is paying for it using money that would normally go to the clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibsFan Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I think the Everton equaliser just then summed it all up for me. Barely reacted to it because I thought there was every chance it was getting ruled out. It's just not a fun way to watch football, simple as that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I thought VAR was intended to be used to overturn obvious errors in what way does a referee watching an incident 40 times at 20 different speeds slowing it down frame by frame constitute an obvious error. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 They would need to install SEVCVAR and CELTVAR up here to overturn the away team VAR penalty decisions at Ibrox and park head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Can anyone tell me how VAR is calibrated to mm accuracy on these offside decisions? And how often the calibration is checked? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
