1st, where is the money for VAR coming from?
2nd, if 90 pecent of Scotland supports the old firm, who is going to be the VAR referee?
At the moment, we have been subject to some very dodgy decisions, do you honestly think by looking at a monitor is going to change anything?
Think back, an Arsenal player was deemed to have dived for a penalty against Celtic, after looking at the video the player was brought down by a puff of wing in the Celtic players shirt????
Just yesterday, Celtic get a penalty when clearly it was outside the box, the pundit said it was a penalty and even after the commentator said it was outside the box the pundit said it again that it was a definite penalty???
So for my way of thinking nothing will change, and it would be a total waste of money we can ill afford to spend!!!!

The article says that the IFA board, which governs the rules of football, has approved VAR as an option in all FIFA recognised competition. It doesn’t say it will be used in Scotland any time soon.
Due to historical anomaly, the 4 British associations have permanent seats on the IFA board, hence the confusion.

I think for VAR to work, the ref on the park still has to be the one calling the shots. If they they couldn't tell something specific, they can have it verified by asking the question. "Did the ball cross the line?", "Did his hand move toward the ball?", "Was it played forward by the attacker?" Etc.
None of the rugby nonsense of "is there any reason I can't give the try/goal?".

Football should take a leaf from cricket. Use it only for matters of fact and if there is any dubiety then the referee's original call stands. Put a time limit of one minute on the review as well. If they can't find any clear and obvious in that time then it can't be clear and obvious.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.
