"VAR isn't the problem, it's the people operating it" is one of these handy shorthands that tells you immediately that the person giving that opinion can be ignored to no detrimental impact on your intelligence and learning. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technological limitations are actually less of an issue compared to the Junior grade clown referees who now run the show outside the top flight, because the SFA's 'elite' officials are too busy huddled over TV cameras every Saturday afternoon and still making a tit of those decisions anyway. There never was - and never will be - sufficiently competent (or not outrageously) officials to make VAR an improvement to overall standards of officiating in the SPFL. The only changes that could reasonably be implemented are some form of goal line technology at top flight games, and a 'semi-automatic' offside - based on the same principle of an effective setup of cameras. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been the same issue in England. I get along to the odd EFL game and a bit of National League North semi-regularly. The standard of refereeing has fallen off a cliff since VAR was introduced in the Premier League. Some of them are so bad you just feel sorry for them. But nobody at the top end of the game gives a f**k about it, so it'll never be considered as an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much seems to be the prevailing opinion on the playoff thread even from neutrals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Stiles Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Last night showed again what was always obvious in that normal TV coverage is usually enough to check a decision Quick look. Does it clearly show what happened? Yes/no, play recommences accordingly in a matter of seconds. Not perfect but neither is VAR. Just better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly in Scotland that should be the case. Clubs rely on the income from the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I would be absolutely stunned if this resolution passes and if it does, I think there's a serious possibility of the referees going on strike given that VAR being removed will be career limiting for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 England with "full fat" VAR - more cameras, full-time officials and screens in all the grounds are saying that the miniscule increase in accuracy of decisions is not worth the detrimental impact on the game. Meanwhile in Scotland we have Janice and John filming the game with their Handycams, very few grounds with screens and Andrew Dallas. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
