Sportsound savaging Scottish officials for their use of VAR - even though it favoured Celtic today. All VAR has done up here is highlight just how bad our refs are - something we've all known for decades but was easily hushed up as there was little forensic scrutiny of incidents or decisions. VAR has changed that.
Refs bringing the game into disrepute up here :cb
The entire governing body has brought the game into disrepute for decades.

I love Scottish football but this year in particular I lost most of my enthusiasm for the game mainly due to decision's that have been given and not , certain referee's getting games they shouldn't be anywhere near and just feel it's getting destroyed by blatant cheating and corruption.

I’m actually quite surprised how much VAR has scunnered me with it. Prior to VAR coming in I was quite forgiving of Scottish football’s imperfections and I’m not bad at coming to terms with the “they even themselves out eventually” mindset.
With VAR - I was, and still am, in favour of it. It should be a force for good and help correct some of the poorer decisions. It has worked well at the big international tournaments and you can still see individual instances where wrongs are righted with it. I also think it’s important to allow (to an extent) for the subjective nature of what constitutes a foul. Where a robust debate can be had about a decision then the fact that it was given one way or the other can be justifiable.
Problem is, what we’ve got is simply farcical, especially in relation to the handball decisions and it’s actually detracting from the legitimacy of the competitions imo.
It’s not something that shouldn’t be salvageable but it’s hard to have faith in the Scottish authorities (and wider football authorities) to fix it.

With handball, there is a specific problem. They have forgotten why the law was made in the first place. It was to stop cynical attempts to block shots or passes of the ball with the player's hand. They need to bring back the deliberate ruling. Get the ref to assess. If he thinks its not deliberate, no foul.
VAR is another situation entirely, and its to do with selective application. And thats never going to change while the media is being so ****ing mealy mouthed about it. When you point out the obvious you are called a conspiracy theorist, but its corrupt. At least the Italians admit their problem now! We've got our heads in the sand. Two clubs with ten times everyone elses budget AND who get all the decisions. I love Hibs but whats the ****ing point.

He was and is a better prospect than Tavarez, only managed to catch a few of his appearances, but from what i saw he had better potential than most of the dross we brought in last summer.

I have no idea if we will regret it but he looks miles ahead of Tavares and Henderson to me. Yes it is against Stennie but one goal was a great free kick and the other a composed finish. He is also a pretty big lad and he seems to have that little bit about him as he was having a joke with Stennie players and looked very comfortable playing for a team above us in the league. He did so well in a cameo appearance for us it is bizarre that he has hardly had another kick.

I hope they stay up as well , always liked Everton and think of them as a proper premier League club with a great history and fans . It seems they have been badly run for awhile now . Big decision to make this week wither to sack or back lampard , if they back him hopefully they can sign a few players , all is not lost yet but as you say it does look grim for them at the present.

He's said a few time he's going nowhere. When he came back from the copa America there were Atletico rumours and Milan rumours and he squashed them by signing a new 5-year deal. Not holding my breath yet but seems to be one of the few footballers with a bit of loyalty.
Think he said something along the lines of "Villa is a big club mate. I want to win trophies here". The "villa is a big club mate" has become a meme within the villa fans as he's git a funny English accent when he speaks. Obviously I'm biased as a Villa man but would he different class to see him show loyalty and stay at the club.
He gets treated like a God down Villa way as well, absolutely adored by the fans and has been for some time now, got to have a huge impact I think. Besides Jacob Ramsay he's the fans favourite player by some margin atm. Him and JJ are adored.

I've always had a lot of time for Everton, I too see them as a historical football club with good values and you do naturally want them to stay up but then I think what's the point of just staying up to just exist as an EPL club, a season in the Championship going to new grounds, being the biggest draw in the League and probably winning more games than you have in years isn't the worst outcome IMO.
My mate's a Newcastle fan and two if his favourite seasons since Bobby Robson's era was the years they were in the Championship, I can relate as we too had our spell down there and 2014-15 was exciting as hell, that being said by the time we got promoted it was at least a year too long though.
I just think the Toffees would embrace that.

Cracking game to be fair, two teams at the top end of the league playing really well, what's not to like. I'm a Man U fan and have been to a good few of their games over the years but also have a wee soft spot for Arsenal, so I'm enjoying this game.

Used to be a good ground to visit was old trafford. My last visit there was poor, pretty run down now.
Been to Arsenal before too both old and new grounds. New one was a favourite until I visited spurs new one, that's different class.

Not last season, they weren't no. They were really good last season, but were undone by injury and some loss of form. Had their fullbacks and Partey stayed fit, they'd have got top 4.
The season before they were dreadful and fans were calling for his head. They changed that model, stopped signing old rubbish like Willian and Luiz and went for younger, hungrier players.

One saving grace from today. A big, big win for Arsenal in many ways. Good cameo from Trossard at the end for them too - there was an interesting write-up on F365 about Arsenal signing him after missing out on Mudryk. Essentially they made the case that in most windows, especially summer ones, Arsenal can pick up a player with Mudryk's potential, but at this stage of the season an experienced Prem-ready rotation player like Trossard might, counter-intuitively, suit them just as much.
Excellent game in and of itself, too. It used to be fashionable a few years ago to slate EPL games for being sterile and saccharin. This wasn't such a game, it was a proper heavyweight bout, going the whole fifteen rounds.

I agree with this. It's so refreshing to see a good, entertaining young Arsenal team that play football the way most of us like to watch. IMO they've still got a wee way to go before they match The Invincibles, but they're definitely heading in the right direction. Great team to watch.

The other thing about Trossard is, he was so, so much cheaper. That has given them the chance to sign this defender from Italy and try to bring in another midfielder for 6 months before a big effort for Rice in the summer it seems. IF they get good cover for Partey this window, they've got every chance of winning the league. If not, I still think City will pip them.
