Can't wait to see how we manage to **** this up even worse than it has already been implemented in other leagues.

VAR coming to Scottish Football

Would be buttons to install compared to VAR. I would start with that before we even consider VAR.

If it stops the blatant bias in favour of the OF then I'm all for it.
It won't, though. So I'm not.

I thought they'd got it pretty much right by the Euros and the games there were all the better for it.
If we could get something more like that than the disaster that was rolled out in England initially then I'd be all for it.
I know it shouldn't, but I can't. help but feel it will be used to favour the OF more than ever.

I just think double handball in the box in the playoff v Falkirk.
Sparkys goal v Hearts
Rangers goalie off his line in the 2004 LC Semi
Laursens handball and sending off v the Huns one Boxing Day as he was on the ground.
It’s a yes for me.

Massive yes from me. Anything that exposes our referees incompetence and bias, and the cheating which takes advantage of said incompetence is only a good thing.

About time. If you look at some of the leagues already using VAR it's embarrassing we haven't introduced it yet. Egyptian, Morrocan and Kosovo top leagues spring to mind.
It'll need to be implemented correctly, but after watching the top five or so leagues they do have a much better handle on it now.

Great idea however the implementation of it will be the same scared little lambs petrified to give decisions against the OF. All for it to be honest as we all know the goal Rangers conceded yesterday would not have been given in Scotland even though clearly over the line.

The standard of refereeing is woeful, miles lower than in England which will likely mean it's used more here to pickup on all the mistakes made.
Games will not be finishing at 4.50pm that's for sure.

People have been far too quick to judge VAR. The Euros showed it works when used properly.
It's a new technology and needs time to bed in. After howls of rage from down south after it was introduced I see very little moaning about it now. People don't like change.
Personally allowed for it.

So we'll get 7 cheating incompetent officials per game now rather than 4?
I suppose getting wrong with 40 replays and multiple angles will make it harder to excuse said incompetence and sweep it under the carpet.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

The Old Firm should be in favour for this, they're the ones that shout the loudest about anything that goes against them.
For all the complaints from fans about VAR down south, you rarely hear managers question the decisions given.
I think the league are right to at least consider it.

"Neil Doncaster, chief executive of the SPFL, said: “Given the costs involved and the potential effects on the natural flow of the game, it was always a sensible decision to monitor the introduction of VAR in other competitions before considering implementation in the cinch Premiership.
“Now that there has been a meaningful bedding-in period in several leagues, now is a good time to look again at the benefits of the technology. We are keen to hear the views of the clubs, officials and fans and look forward to discussions over the next few months.”

I would prefer there to be no var but it will almost certainly come in. I just hope they learn the lessons from other leagues and competitions and make it a successful transition. It should help attacking teams more often than the teams that tend to sit in. I would imagine that in the not too distant future it will be a requirement for entering into European competitions.

One of the things I really like about Scottish football is that there is no VAR. Real shame.

The rich leagues got it 1st when the cost was highest. That cost will be falling now.
It worked well at the Euro's and is now working well in the EPL after loads of issues last season.
Football supporters have held referees to ridiculous standards since being able to watch controversial incidents from every angle and in slow motion. VAR will afford referees in Scotland that same service and allow them to correctly call the most significant game decisions. Thumbs up from me.
Ian Maxwell from the SFA agrees, he said “VAR is here to stay and in a short period its implementation has advanced significantly, while its set-up and maintenance costs have reduced. We are now at the point where we need to discuss and ideally agree on its introduction into Scottish football"Last edited by CMurdoch; 01-10-2021 at 04:37 PM.

My only problem with VAR is the offside decisions. They put a line on a frame that they chose, the frame before the player might be onside, the frame after offside, so the person that chooses when the ball was kicked decides offside.

Wonder if the SFA/SPFL will need to fund screens to be added in the stadiums that don't have them so everyone can see the decision etc.

It’s a yes from me for reasons important to the future of the game here because it has the potential to either (a) expose the incompetence of Scottish officials, or (b) expose the “favouritism” shown in favour of the Glasgow 2 by officials and the MSM, or (c) change both (a) & (b) for the better.

At a time when clubs are trying to improve supporter experience this will kill it completely. All well and fine saying that the 1 decision per game that it will affect will have a greater chance of being correct now but think of all the delays to decide whether to review something, the celebrations of ‘non goals’ long after the ball hits the net, and this utter nonsense rule of not putting flags up until the attack is over. Brutal.
