DA Baracus Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Remember, what you'll actually get at most games is nothing. You won't know what it being checked and why. You won't know what a goal has been disallowed other than the ref making the VAR motion with his hands. The best you'll get is a notice on a screen informing you that a VAR check is going on. Most clubs who have screens only have small ones. Will clubs be putting in larger ones? Probably not. Do the screens note what the VAR check is for (e.g. offside, handball, serious foul play etc)?

Ian maxwell basically admitted this. He said they were looking into screens but “fans know what’s going on because they’ll see play hasn’t restarted, they’re used to it now” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that'll probably only come from the refs visual queue that we'll all see for ourselves anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Always funny to laugh at Rangers, but that's what happens when you have VAR. I'm sure referees will explain how it was the correct decision to give the penalty, but no right-minded fitba fan would expect a penalty to be given when the ball rebounds off a player a yard away. What you expect: VAR coming in to ensure the right decision is always made. What you get: A last minute defeat when a penalty is awarded against your player for handball when looking in the opposite direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Let me put it this way. Would Livi get that handball last night at Parkhead/Ibrox? Would the home team have got it? I think we all know. Disaster waiting to happen. Also hearing the cameras used at non telly games are basically Go-Pro cameras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What seems to be the issue with these referee's if if they go watch something on the monitor. Its token gesture. They're giving the decision no matter. Its like they feel pressured to do so because the other ref watching on var has decided they think its a penalty. I think I've watched 1 game ever where the referee has gone to the monitor and disagreed. VAR seems to be just re-refreeing the game rather than assisting the onfield ref to do his job. I honestly believe it'll be a complete disaster in Scotland with being continually told "its going to have issues, its just bedding in" etc etc. Fans wont have a clue whats going on, the players won't have a clue because one week a decision will be given by VAR, the next it wont be. We know for sure the referee's wont have a clue - as they already currently dont! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re sent to take a second look, you’re basically getting told you’ve got it wrong by the guy with all the cameras at his disposal. Takes balls to say no at that point. Last night the ref took ages looking at it when it was immediately clear for all to see - almost as if he wasn’t convinced himself. And to top it all off he booked Goldson for having the audacity to be hit by the ball! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 When there’s a corner at the SMiSA, our screen shows an advert for Div’s ‘Big Front Door’. I’m fervently hoping that Andrex or Pampers sponsor a screen advert when Collum is running a VAR check at the DinkyDome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would add to the suspense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 A goal in the EPL today was disallowed seemingly due a player's arm being offside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, you can score with the top of your arm so that’s what they have taken as the furthest forward part of his body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 It's going to be utterly, UTTERLY disastrous isn't it? I mean, if the self proclaimed greatest league in the world, with effectively infinite resources, has made such a laughing stock of itself over the last few years, can you imagine the SFA running ours, completely petrified of a certain two clubs/companies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobby Dossar Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Not fussed about VAR one way or the other … Collum, Clancy and Walsh will still be as shitty as ever !!!!! All that we can ask for and expect is consistency …… but I’m afraid we’re a long way from that after some of the decisions on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of thing that got me into fitba. Lines drawn by a computer to measure the millimetres between players. Brilliant stuff. What fitba is all about. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I'm against it but from watching Sportscene you can see why we're getting it. So much inconsistency in decisions from game to game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
