Class statement from Aberdeen. Spot on.
The only issue about sticking with the on field decision is I think they don't make them any more. Aye The linesman didn't flag, probably cause he's thinking if I'm wrong VAR will correct it anyway. Totally wrong way to go about it, they should still be making the decisions, I just honestly don't think they’re doing that.

I hadn't fully appreciated the benefit of the late flag until ironically we scored at Pittodrie. Joe Newell was flagged offside after we scored our second goal. VAR corrected it. If an early flag had gone up that time we might not have scored at all. Can be frustrating but I changed my thinking on it, conveniently, that day 😁

There has to come a point when we have to admit defeat and accept that VAR is simply a resource that is beyond our capabilities in Scotland to operate in the manner intended.
Maybe with full time referees the skill sets to operate VAR can present themselves to an acceptable level to manage the resource, but we’re putting it in the hands of part-time amateurs. It’s certain to fail in such circumstances.
We need to take a break from it for a season at least, and only return when we know we can be trusted with it.

I agree with the rest of it though. I thought VAR would prove refs to be corrupt and they would eventually stop and just ref games straight up. I was right about the first part imo but they seem to have no shame so there is little point continuing with this failed experiment. We may are well have corrupt referees and save a few quid.

The only logical thing to do is keep the flag down until the passage of play has finished.

This is a great statement from Aberdeen. Hibs have had reason to ask for VAR narrative reviews on countless occasions due to the utter incompetence of the decision making, quickly off the top of my head and I know there will be more:
- Marshall smashed into the goal at Ross County - no foul goal allowed
- Duk Dive at Pittodrie - penalty to Aberdeen
- Rangers defender handball in box at Ibrox - no pen
- Jeggo incorrectly sent off at St Johnstone
- Vente clearly fouled for his own goal at Killie
- Boyle offside goal at Hampden v Dons
- Hearts Penalty decision at Tynie when Vargas dived
- Marcondes pulled back v Huns in box - no pen
- Marcondes smashed by keeper v ST Johnstone in box - no penalty
I wonder of we ever requested to hear audio of any of this?? It would be fascinating to hear all of them.

Does this add weight to the corruption argument or the incompetence argument ?

The thing is I would probably accept the downsides ( delays in games, unable to celebrate goals properly, celebrating then having to face the disappointment of a goal ruled out etc etc) if it was getting things right for us and benefitting us. Its done the exact opposite so it makes you even angrier and more perplexed than when we got shafted pre var - at least you could rationalise it then as officials had only one look at things.

There is no going back with VAR. It's here to stay across the game. Scotland would look like even more of a backwater if we decide it's too hard and just bin it.
It can and does work much better in other places.
What VAR has at least done is unite pretty much all of Scottish football in seeing how terrible our officiating is.
That needs to be harnessed to see some genuine changes made. Just getting rid of VAR addresses literally none of the long running problems in the game.

I’d scrap it and use the money to fund full time refs

I'm sure I read that refs are paid handsomely for their side gig. They should be made available to the press to explain the decisions made during the game.

I'd be opposed to referees going full time for the simple reason that they would want more money to compensate for giving up their day jobs. Right now they get both a regular salary from their main job and a fat fee for being incompetent once a week.
Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Remember the higher up in the league you finish the more you pay for VAR “lite”.
Scotland has the cheap version- less cameras and worse technology.
Add in the incompetent officials and it’s actually less enjoyable going to games as you have no idea what the decision the officials will come up with.
