Good. We should have started trialling it a couple years back though.

It'll be a bumpy introduction, but for the best.
One thing's guaranteed though - we'll never again score a goal against Hearts that just crosses the line.

Good news IMO.
Goal line technology should have been introduced years ago (the season in which Sparky belted that free kick in off the bar from about 125 yards against Hearts for example 🙄). I don't see this mentioned in the article but I'm hoping that comes hand in hand.

So the jambos will have to get by without their double figure amount of pens a season now.

Better refereeing first please,VAR is something the game doesnt need imo.....summer football and decent fixture lists should be agreed in this same manner by teams calling a meeting with sfa chiefs.winter football is rank enuf in scotland without sitting waiting on video anylisis confirmations.as seen last night even though they got the right decision for the derby goal it was still a farce for football tbh.

It's not perfect by any means but if it starts righting wrongs then I welcome it.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I know this will sound strange but watching the Southampton Derby game last night, some of the offside decisions were too correct. No advantage was gained and it was close enough - just play on.

Great news - teams like ours which try to play football can rejoice, whilst teams like Hearts are going to have to change their decades old culture of hacking and fluke. Superb.

It's a no for me. Football is football, contentious decisions, mistakes, the lot. We've been on the receiving end a lot but it's all part of the game. The SPFL should maybe spend the money on training referees instead and put the rest in grass roots. I'd rather see slick advantage played instead of play stopping to check a video.

Prediction all agree a good idea. Consultation period for 18 months. Dispute it costs too much and argument over who pays. Kicked into long grass and all remains the same.
I think some refs would be petrified of this coming in.

Slightly misleading OP. They back it in principle nothing further has happened yet (and this is managers and refs, why wouldn't they)

pity we can't get retrospective VAR decisions for the oli goal at tinycastle or the stunning FK from sparky that was 3 ******* yards over the line, which unfortunately the hertz supporting gimp of a linesman astonishingly didn't see...even though thousands of others DID see, along with hunners of thousands on the tellybox

I feel at the very least we should have had Hawkeye goalline technology
The EPL introduced it 2013/14
It would have saved us grief and lost points in the Sparky and Oli Shaw goal incidents
It works by setting off a buzzer in the refs watch if 100% of the ball crosses the line
I suppose knowing the SPFL cost would have been an objection
The above link shows that Geoff Hurst goal in the 1966 World Cup Final did not cross the line
They think its all over......

Justice prevailed because an illegal goal was correctly disallowed.

It's going to take emotion out of the game. The best feeling at a game is the joy and celebration of when you score. To have that taken away by waiting about for a couple of minutes, just takes that moment away. You can't get that back, even once the decisions been made. The Southampton-Derby match the other night and the Spurs-Chelsea penalty decision was just far too long a wait.
It will be terrible for fans who attend games.

Don't know about that, I've watched it a few times and like the pundits the defenders shoulder is directly in line with the attackers leg which looked offside, usually if it's that close the attacker gets the benefit.

Take Forsters wrongly disallowed goal at Tynecastle as an example. Would you really say that you wouldn’t have waited a couple of minutes to verify that goal which could have gone as far as save us from relegation and years in the Championship just because the celebration wouldn’t have been as good?

Lots of incidents would have made a huge difference to Hibs, Griffiths long range strike, Shaw's disallowed goal and the ridiculous missed hand ball against Falkirk, these are things VAR and goal line technology were designed for.
