DrewDon Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) It is the right decision, but how many red cards is that that have now been retrospectively overturned despite having VAR in operation? What an embarrassment. Edited April 26, 2023 by DrewDon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed to hear Shinnie's red at McDiarmid was the first of his career - he's always been a dirty wee shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and - while they explained it at the time, I am still slightly confused about why it constituted a "frivolous" appeal and not just an appeal? Being honest, the system is so shite, I fully expected the ban to remain and an additional for "frivolous appeal" for Jeggo as well. Utterly bizarre all over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 As an aside - if the panel thought it wasnt a red, why did the ref and VAR room refs disagree? Are these guys being told (by the SFA) to deal with "strong tackles" in a certain way?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Cabbage Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Personally disappointed it’s been overruled as now Jimmy Jeggo is available for the next match. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibsFan Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 On 23/04/2023 at 04:24, PauloPerth said: If we have to have VAR, and we shouldn’t as it’s shite, then let’s at least reduce its impact. The only red card incidents it should be used for are if the ref misses an off the ball incident. But analysing to death every strong challenge for minutes at a time is ridiculous. Stick with the on field decision and accept there will be errors. We get errors with var as well, it’s all just someone’s opinion. If you open the door to “the ref missed it” then the moonhowlers will not stop there. From the very start, pundits, managers, referees and fans should have been told to grow up and accept that mistakes happen sometimes and it fundamentally does not matter. Instead we have mistakes being made twice over and the joy being sapped out of attending a live football match in the flesh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Lanley Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Hopefully the SFA ban Napier from refereeing a top flight game again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I can’t stand var at all. And I don’t rate Napier at all, a dreadful ref. But I don’t see that either did much wrong in this instance. I still like strong tackles in a game so don’t think that Jeggo challenge should be a red card, but in the way tackles are judged over the past few years, lunging in with studs up is always going to run the possibility of being sent off. From that interview with Stuart Dougal above; The ref decided it met the criteria so showed the red. I don’t see how VAR is going to highlight that as a clear and obvious error. It’s the refs opinion that it was excessive force and endangered the safety of the Saints player, so they have to go along with that. We should still bin VAR though. Look how much time we waste talking over referee decisions every week, whilst barely a mention for Stevie May’s thunderbolt scissors kick, reminiscent of Pelé in Escape to Victory… -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Glad it got overturned. Ludicrous decision and always thought it had more chance of success than shinnie’s. Saying that, hopefully our experience with ‘frivolous’ appeals, coupled with a relatively similar challenge being successfully appealed, has shone enough of a light on the issue of extra games based on an entirely subjective criteria to get it firmly in the sea where it belongs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
