Thing is, it's all very well for the SFA to "apologise" for the ref errors v Ross County and Dundee Utd.......but those errors cost us points that could be worth a small fortune. And when you see decisions like McLean's today, you can understand why BK has said that the SPFL and SFA run the game up here for the benefit of 2 clubs only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of decisions that don’t go our way or are overturned like today and we also get some in our favour like today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the problem. Technology opens the door to re-refereeing football matches with decisions that are totally subjective. The laws of the game are not black and white, technology does not fix this and never could. It absolutely is the problem because it cannot stop poor decisions, because what constitutes a poor decision? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Us not really being at the races and Hibs being so organised with 10 men made the game quite an enjoyable spectacle yesterday. I get why both could be seen as yellows so not too sure why Hibs are losing their shit over this. Starfelt is a moron for pulling shirts with VAR on the go and he really needs to iron this sort of stuff out but I doubt he will. Good to see Oh get another goal and think he potentially could be even better than GG was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets manhandled to the ground and Carter Vickers is near enough on the deck when Youan tries to get the ball. Never a yellow card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There both at it in a way by holding on to each other (admittedly CCV more than Youan) but when if it's deemed dangerous play like high feet then it becomes irrelevant like an elbow would be. Personally I would be a bit annoyed if that was my players second yellow but not incredulous like Hibs have been. They have gone a bit Neil Lennon about it for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it be high feet when Carter Vickers is the one stooping so low for the ball (having fouled Youan in the first place). Do you think Kyogo gets a second yellow for that? Of course not. He’d have been given the foul immediately when he was tossed to the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring your paranoia I find generally smaller players get more fouls and away with fouls so you may be right albeit in a roundabout way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t disagree more. The technology allows referees to re-review every decision and look for reasons to change them, if you’re a referee and you hear someone in your ear suggesting something, you’ve already got that bias in your head that they are correct so when you go and check you’re going to make the decision. And don’t get me started on the delays and the life it sucks out of every single goal. The technology is the issue more than anything, I can deal with refereeing mistakes, the issue I have is what it’s done to ruin the spectacle, you’ll notice I didn’t even mention Youans red card in my post despite it being completely the wrong decision, we’ve benefitted from plenty dodgy reds this season and it’s probably fair we had one given the other way, that’s how football has always worked and it was so much better for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
