VAR: "Penalty against Rangers"
Robot: "Does not compute, does not compute...."

Surely timekeeping could be the first thing where computers are used more. Ref has a button he presses and then time is off, double that up with a signal so the crowd knows and a clock then keeps everyone up to date with where we are in the game with all games finishing bang on 90 minutes or at the end of a passage of play after the 90 like Rugby.

“KrytenVAR do I need to remind you of Space Corps Directive 371223412/B?”
“Space Corps Directive 371223412/B: No VAR assistant should award a penalty against Rangers in clear view of the Union Bears, well it’s a good directive sir, but I don’t see how it applies here”

The three laws of refbotics:
1. Robot must follow all VAR directives
2. Unless it goes against The Rangers
3. Unless it goes in favour of Hibs

Penalty against rangers
Referee Dalek
Exterminate, Exterminate.
Nothing will change just means Robots will be programmed by Someone within the SFA.

Won't matter, the programmer will still be based at Lanarkshire refereeing HQ.

Though I do feel I should point out that it's actually “Space Corps Directive 1690/KB"

Being s**** every week is consistent and we already have that.

It would be robots implemented and programmed into the Scottish game by huns though.

I think Scottish referees are very brave. It takes courage to go out every week and make a total pr**k of yourself.
