Thanks for clearing that up, Willy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted yesterday at 08:25 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:25 AM The March review shows mjust how big a problem refereeing/VAR actually is. Totally inconsistent. I don't get the comment about Callum Slattery. Are they looking at footage from the St Mirren game? If so, thats downright ridiculous. If we're going to review decisions from a month ago how far back do they go? If so, that should open the floodgates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted yesterday at 09:05 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:05 AM Only got round to watching this last night as there was hee haw on the tv. Im acually raging about the tackle on Just by Oxlade - Chamberlain now. Never thought too much of it at the time and felt a yellow was probably about right, but when you see the pictures that were available to VAR and the intitial point of contact, I just cant fathom how they dont think thats a red card. Especially when Beaton tells them he has a mark on his shin! Least said about the Gordon red card the better. Totally pointless exercise now as they are just using the review to justify decisions and save face, rather than admit mistakes and actually improve the standard of officiating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, Gollum actually says on the video re the Just tackle, "if the referee had shown a straight red card to the Celtic player Var would not have overturned it" ffs the whole set up is a corrupt, incompetent shambles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously he's said if the leg bends (as it this case) it's a red. They also said he's in control of the ball, he's not even looking at it.

weeyin Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago No surprise that the VAR review quickly turned into the VAR Justification Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santheman Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago It's simply not fit for purpose and that's been proved time after time since it's inception. You would think that things would improve through time but if anything the decision making is getting worse each season and that's worrying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got so bad that, as yesterday, I don't stand up spontaneously to celebrate a goal much any more: I often await the probable VAR review. So am I getting the wrong impression when I think that the OF aren't affected to the same extent by VAR decisions 🤔? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OF are subjected to the same delays, but it's at least worth the wait for them. Of all the issues, I think removing the spontaneity of a goal celebration is VAR's biggest crime. It's literally what we pay our money to experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know as they seem to have as many problems with bad decisions for or against them. Maybe someones keeping a record somewhere? I've got friends who are OF fans and they moan about VAR as much as me but because of who they are they get more media coverage. VAR is just shit and why I love going to the odd local WOSL game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
