Am I wrong in saying that VAR wasn’t in use yesterday as it can’t be used at all games in the round or have I just made that up?

It would be handy if it was used properly by professionals and not rabid masonic bigots.

Yes but the technology itself totally ruins the experience for match going fans

It was in use yesterday, 3 games had it over the weekend.

It was only in use for the three games that have been on tv.

Thanks

One gripe of mine. It was a very heavy Hearts positive presence on the media outlets, we got Jack Ross, Bartley and Shaun doing the draw.

[KWJ]

Heh, might look like it goes against what I've said on other threads but I don't think that's a foul, didn't live and still don't. He gets his body in front of Youan who is too easily knocked off the ball, like in the first half by Smith.

Hearts do what they do well and it's enough to amass enough points to be comfortably 3rd in this league. It's not pretty, as usual, but it works.

And as a side note I know 0-3 is a crap scoreline but would fans have preferred we sat back on the 0-2? Obviously we'd all prefer if Rocky hadn't been seriously injured and out of play and that Cabraja could've put in a decent cross.

Impossible for Michael Stewart to credit us today, had to mention how poor Aberdeen are and that many of our wins have came against 10 men.

He was almost twitching with anger waiting to but in when the other two pundits were praising us.

Hibs were fantastic today. They labeled it El Sackio and one team won 6-0.

[TheHibernator]

First time I’ve watched in a while today, atmosphere like a funeral talking about the game. Michael Stewart was spewing and couldn’t bring himself to compliment us. That’s maybe the norm now but found it quite shocking.

Those decisions in the Rangers v St Johnstone game...Scottish football is utterly corrupt

Something needs to be done. At the very least, they have to be forced to come out and explain the decisions.

That red card for Clark is never a red, and how did it even become a red? The big screens say VAR gave it, so why’s Collum no going to look at it on the screen?

VAR got involved in the Ryan Jack tackle…which was worse than Clarks, and Collum watched the replays and still only gave a yellow.

They’re a disgrace. It’s every week. I’m not surprised, I expected more of the same when VAR came along, but maybe not to this extent.

Does anyone actually know what's a handball now?

We had a shocker last week against ambrose and this week the rangers penaltybis dubious at best

Stewart’s ego is so vast it takes him weeks to admit change his position on anything. Which is a bit daft as we all know the beauty of football is that it changes week to week.

Just watched it. That’s beyond incompetence, it’s clearly corruption, breaking their own VAR protocol to ensure a win for the King’s Eleven on armed forces day.

The reason I initially wanted VAR is that I thought it would stop the blatant corruption as the officials would not be able to use the old "only saw it once", "from my angle" excuses. It seems they are quite open about being completely corrupt now and the game at Ibrox yesterday was as good an example as you will get. Two decisions that should be 70 30 in St Johnstone's favour given The Rangers way and the sending off which was never a red from any angle given The Rangers way. If it was the one game then you could put it down as a bad day for the officials but it is every week

A Spanish ref gave more penalties against The Rangers at Ibrox in 90 minutes than Scottish referees have in the last 2+ seasons. Of course it's not corrupt!

Yep, the constant decisions going in Ranger's favour week in week out is becoming farcical now. Incredibly the introduction of VAR has made things worse. Scottish officiating is corrupt to the core.

He does have a point to be fair. I thoroughly enjoyed the game yesterday, but it's the most lamentably awful Aberdeen side I've ever seen. You can't ignore how bad their defence was.

More generally Stewart has been picking up on the problems at Hibs - and you can't exactly criticise him for that when there are threads and threads and pages and pages on this forum saying the same thing!

True - there is controversy about VAR literally every week when it's supposed to settle arguments.
You'd think that there would be some kind of legal recourse as the evidence is there for all to see such that it's difficult to escape the conclusion there is some kind of cheating going on. This would constitute match fixing which is a criminal offence if I'm not mistaken. I know that clubs are disallowed from taking legal action against the football authorities - so will it take a collective of fans to bring a case?

[BILLYHIBS]

Dearie me !

The Rangers get every decision going

St Johnstone nothing

Drey Wright through on goal rounds the keeper kicks the grass from a tight angle granted

Who knew ?

[Hibbyradge]

6 goals in our game yesterday, including a penalty, and no VAR interruptions.

Maybe it can be unobtrusive and successfully. Poor decisions will continue though and it's up to the viewer to decide if they're deliberate or just human errors.

Personally, I have to think that wrong decisions are mistakes. If I thought the game was really rigged, I would walk away from it.

I know others feel differently but I'm not going to get into an argument about it.

[Hibby Bairn]

I like Michael Stewart. Decent pundit imo.

I also thought the decisions in the Rangers game were correct.

He was bristling and agitated and was clearly not happy that any praise was coming our way, he seems to be getting less and less rational and can't see what is in front of him. One of the reasons I enjoy MOTD more is that people actually talk about the game and not the noise around it or keep up their own personal narratives. It's all small minded and agenda led.

Scottish football coverage continues to be comedy, and not in a fun way.

[JimBHibees]

Haven't seen it yet if Stewart cannot highlight anything positive about Hibs display yesterday he really needs to get another job. Our fourth goal for example was one of the best goals of the season from any team in our league imo.

Is that you Mrs Stewart? Wee Mikey won't be home for tea as he is too busy trying to criticise Hibs, inspite of a 6-0 win, on national telly 😁

Stewart used to be the only one of that bunch worth listening to. Now? He has nothing, literally nothing, good to say about us.

I can't find Clarkes but I seen it last night and it's no where near as bad as the jack one

Tbh I thought Stewart was bang on in his assessment of the game.
