That was my thoughts as well , I was all for it naively believing it would improve the standard of refereeing, but a few weeks in and its obvious it has not improved anything. Technology is only as good as the people using it and in Scotland the standard was woeful to start with, also given the speed with which VAR was introduced I think Scotland got the bargin basement version with limited camera's etc . So if you add this to the incompetence of the operators its no surprise we are seeing errors week in week out.

The worst thing about the throw in incident for me is that, whatever you think of it being contentious or not, an accident, a mistake, whatever, it was an obviously dubious moment at the time. Easy to see and an easy decision to give before the play continues any further. Had that throw been retaken at the time, no one in the world would have questioned it. Let it go to var and f**k only knows what comes of it. But the point is it didn't need to, it was the easiest decision for collum or linesman to give at the time, why the f**k did they not??

A clash of 2 complete opposites in footballing terms. My expectations and hopes for this game are very modest indeed. We make St Johnstone work hard, no injuries or red cards and we see a young lad or two actually come on at some point as per Stevie Hammell's promise to promote youth (whatever happened to that BTW?). If we can achieve that, I'll leave Perth happy on Saturday. Ross County, Kilmarnock and Dundee United also losing will elevate my mood no end. St Johnstone will do what they do. They'll be very well organised; work very hard; be abrasive and competitve, and try to smother us, grinding us down. We can't rely on them making a mistake. However, entertaining football won't be on their agenda. Injuries will have an impact on our team selection and Shields may well have to start, with Moult coming on at some point. Hopefully the World Cup break will give us a filip, but I'm not counting on that. Longer term, if we're 10th or above or even 11th but competing in the mix come 3rd January, I'll be content. The January window will be huge for us, but make no mistake it will be very, very difficult to source and secure a number of much needed decent additions. A lot is resting on that.

I'm a bit surprised at folks willingness to accept the Jota goal was onside on the basis of the camera angle shown - it's nowhere near as definitive as some are making out. People also get caught up looking at a players feet - Jota was leaning forward as he was on the sprint and with O'Donnell being practically vertical it wouldn't surprise me if another angle showed Jota's head was offside. It doesn't help when the VAR freeze frame puts the line in the wrong place either which also happened with the Tierny goal which had the line on Tierney's outstretched hand. That's incredibly misleading.

The problem is the Celtic player was not on the field of play when he diverted the ball to another Celtic player

Unfortunately we can't move up any places, even if we win. St Mirren are now 4 ahead of us.

We can all point the finger at VAR as can probably every other team. Our current league position is easy to explain. We have played 15 games and scored 19 goals. 10 of those goals have come in 3 games. So, in 12 games we have scored 9 goals. 4 have been penalties. Therefore from open play we have scored 5 goals in 12 games. That why we are dropping like a stone. We don't create enough chances,(poor midfield) and when we do we don't convert. In the cast majority of our games we have either not scored or scored 1 goal. I don't see that changing. That will keep us in the bottom six at best. At worst, well that's obvious.

Why is all the talk about the Jota goal and nothing about the shy that led to their second goal, the guy was clearly off the park when it hits him and falls kindly to Turnbull. Is that not a retake. ???

Supposed to be James Bond technology. We bought it from Austin Powers and handed it to Frank Drebin.

His hair was definitely offside.

Looked like a high impact ankle collision with Mooy. A sore one.

Agree, however in 1990 play on.

Bit of luck Morris will get suspended for 5 year retrospectively

Thought he was unfortunate. Did very well to intercept and must have felt the Celtic player had no chance of taking it from him without fouling him from behind. Maybe should have cleared it first time, but I cant fault him for trying to keep possession and playing a more constructive pass.

Appreciate your view spud but I don't think fighting is a word that can be attributed to KVV, just never looks up for it and hardly breaks sweat. If injured then best not starting

Or maybe he saw it differently to you.

U have to feel for KVV,clearly not fit as he only lasted a half..he's up top on his own fighting a losing battle unless the midfield help with the press u can't expect him t chase down 2centre halfs n a goalkeeper even when we did get the ball over the top he couldn't out run carthorse vickers

Continuing the tradition of our club being a doormat.

You're surely not serious about him heading it. Penney throws it off him, there's no movement of his head. Distance wise, the rule states all opponents must stand 2 yards back when the throw in is about to be taken. If you take a quick free kick before the opponent is 10 yards back and he intercepts it, play continues. Same rule applies?

Kelly and his kicking!!!!

Josh Morris plays like a guy who really wishes he had a job in an office.

This sub also says alot about Moult’s fitness in my opinion…

The Celtic player is not on the pitch the throwing should have been taking again ………… thought VAR was supposed to check all goals !!!!!!!
