WesthillWanderersFC Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 If what we’ve seen in England is anything to go by, they can keep VAR.Can you imagine the clusterfuck the SFA & the inept officials up here would make of it?Would give them twice the chance of giving more decisions the way of the filth. Being offside by literally a millimetre having drawn lines on a TV screen is excruciating. Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 How much does it cost?Allegedly £1million per club per season. Fine when you get hundreds of millions in tv money but never going to happen here. We barely get more than one camera at some top flight games ffs. Link to comment

Being offside by literally a millimetre having drawn lines on a TV screen is excruciating.It is horrible, scoring last minute winners and everyone going mental then it’s offside by an armpit or something. I understand why people want it, just think it’s another way modern football has turned the sport into a load of shite. Link to comment
RUL Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I see English League getting slaughtered by the rule makers of football for drawing lines to decide if someone is offside. Saying they want this to stop as it's ruining the game. No way could clubs in Scotland afford £1M a season. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 As the arse cheeks get the majority of televised games. Make them pay the majority for VAR. also, do away with the offside rule for a laugh. Fuck goalkeepers & their clean sheets. Let teams leave one man up front all the time & have lots more goals Link to comment
Don Fonte Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It would not cost 12m a season, that's just rubbish Its 1m a season across all teams Not like BHL to spout trolling crapNonsense. Link to comment

Do you still think every club can afford it? Near £100k to clubs like saints and Hamilton is a huge amount. Could even be more than that, no exact figures quoted. Link to comment
Poodler Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Someone above made a good point Huns wouldn't allow catholic's to cover their games etc. Just another farce I've said it before. I had one pal who was a hun and he did the honourable thing and did away with himself. The only noble hun there has been. Recognised his flaws. 2 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 So do they think VAR is called upon to check every single refereeing decision in a game? Or is this some special use of VAR just for Rangers games where a panel of proddies watches the game and have the authority to override the referees decisions at any point. Mind you, they went through all the lower divisions with special selected referees because they were "too important" to be given the same refs as the other teams in their division.I think it’s the special version that replays Celtics cup goal, Celtics league goal and Morelos trying to pull the same stunt on Their centre half that he did at Pittodrie. Stride pattern my arse. However it will specifically avoid ANY comment or even replays on offside goals in very tight, crucial games against Kilmarnock at home. Or as we call it, Sportscene.

Saying they want this to stop as it's ruining the game. No way could clubs in Scotland afford £1M a season.On the BBC, some IFAB official is now saying that offsides by millimetres should be given as a goal, as it wasn’t a “clear & obvious error”.So where do you (literally) draw the line?10mm, 20mm? Half a body?It’s farcical.Sounds like the official wants it to go similar to “umpires call” on lbw’s in cricket if anyone follows that. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 No way its only 100k per club. Maybe for the var software itself. That won't cover the installation of extra cameras and the three people it seems to take sitting in an office each game to review the footage. Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'm actually for once going to agree with the old hun cunt Souness on this. His solution is that if any part of an attacking player is onside....even if it is just a trailing hand....then a goal should stand. Guarantees more goals for sure. Link to comment

I reckon it’s well beyond the financial capabilities of most of the top league. Could have it at Hampden for cup semis and finals and the SFA could foot the cost... Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Then there's the cost of extra falcons to stop the seagulls shitting on the TV screen. Costs will spiral out of control Link to comment

Its the exact same argument though. They'll just be measuring and analysing from the other side to the same minute detail. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 The clubs would be better spending the money on professional referees and actually make them accountable and expect them to be completely transparent about their football allegiances etc. Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The clubs would be better spending the money on professional referees and actually make them accountable and expect them to be completely transparent about their football allegiances etc.The refs are just a product of their environment. Likely drummed into them early in their careers that they have to show maximum respect to the old firm and handle those games differently. Always boils my piss hearing commentators praise refs during old firm games for “managing the occasion” and not showing cards. If that’s not proof that the two teams get treated differently then I don’t know what is. Link to comment

Fuck that. Link to comment
