Agreed, good statement, clear in its evidence and acknowledged that they've benefitted too. Hope hibs get on board with this to strengthen the challenge

Nothing to disagree with in their statement.
Only one camera angle available to VAR for the incident in question is a joke.
VAR as it currently operates in Scotland is not fit for purpose and needs upgrading before next season. If upgrading is deemed too expensive by the clubs then it needs to be ditched and filed under 'Failed Experiment.'

I was all for VAR, and I still am I suppose, as I think it's the perfect system. But what we've got up here is not the VAR I see in other top flights. It's like a poor relation, weird camera angles, lines that look squint and people using it I wouldn't trust to open a can of beans that was already open.
Get it in the sea.

That's a disgrace, it really is. I genuinely thought VAR would be a positive change - for all its flaws you can point to loads of decisions where the referee got it wrong and VAR corrected it but t amount of times it's gone wrong is unacceptable and when you consider the cost, the **** experience, and the standard of its use, it needs binned asap.

If the tech fails, go with what the referees and lineman said live

A tinpot version of VAR for a tinpot league.
Just confirms what everyone already knew in that those jokers simply guess and make things up as they go.
Indefensible rubbish from our officials.

Good statement from Aberdeen and exactly what is needed from all clubs, to acknowledge the system isn't working for anyone and bad decisions are going for and against (except for Hibs that just have numbers in the 'against' column...)

The problem was as much about officials as VAR at the Dons game. Var fails, no evidence and onfield decision stands is a non issue. They basically chose the path of most resistance and that should be them done in the booth. The big issue is disparity in camera angles between uglies and the rest and the shear incompetence, at best. Of officials. Just get rid

It was rumoured the exact same thing happened with the VAR not working then. I bet it only works half the time.
Can I Hazard a guess it was Doncaster that oversaw the implementation of this type of VAR system?Last edited by Not In The Know; 10-04-2024 at 05:09 PM.

The VAR guys must be thick as mince. They had the perfect out to say they could not over rule the decision because the system had failed. Instead they took the worst possible option.Don’t fancy Aberdeen’s chances of getting any favours over the rest of the season.

It needs to be binned. Our cheapskate version of it has been a complete failure and then you look at the English Prem and Champions League where the most expensive tech is still causing issues game after game.
Glad Aberdeen said something and hopefully other top flight teams back them cause we are all going to be screwed over with it in the end if it stays like this. Fan owned clubs like Motherwell and Hearts really need to try lead the way.

Either upgrade it or bin it.

I never thought for one minute that in Scotland VAR would be good for anyone other than the usual two beneficiaries of everything in Scottish football. Sadly uts even worse than I thought it would be. The referees, linesmen and VAR officials are pretty much all incompetent and some are downright cheats and quite a few are both

Doncaster's job is to do the clubs' bidding and the clubs wanted this Poundland VAR with a minimum of six cameras.
It's not really the technology being kaput that's scandalous in this case though, it's the dunderheaded actions of the officials in the VAR room.

You cant just guess, it's so amateurish you couldnt make this up to look worse.
VAR is a shambles in Scotland, from not having the proper system, to bent ref's either making it up as they go along, or those in a hut in larkhall making sure the obvious teams get everything, it needs binned until such times as its installed properly and farmed out to professionals in another country who are not biased.

They got to a final on a dodgy VAR offside on Boyle, it really is better just getting scrapped. At least we could debate wether the officials were cheating back then, now we know they are.

Just scrap it. Completely unfit for purpose. And a great statement from the Dons.

Well done Aberdeen. If we can’t have the best system money can buy operated by professional officials then scrap it.
