Var

[The AuldYin]

After the Man U game yesterday and the recent debacles in the Scottish game, 3 things have to change if they're going to continue with VAR.

1. The handball/natural position nonsense. I would make it ANYTHING that hits below the elbow or below a penalty, this would eradicate officials not giving penalties against the old firm citing it was accidental or in a natural position.

2. I'd stop the clock every time the game is stopped or the ball goes out of play, this leaving it to the officials discretion is clearly very easily influenced.

3. Either scrap the offside rule or just make it anyone in an offside position then it's offside. This leaving to officials to decide who is interfering with play is a farce.

The Tims had 2 goals allowed in the last week which clearly had players offside. The Huns game had 3 boys offside with one of them standing right in front of the keeper. As Cloughie said if any of my players aren't interfering with play then they're not getting paid.

I'd just do away with it.

One level of corruption instead of two and an apology.

VAR was brought in to supposedly end wrong refereeing decisions.
I rarely watch Scotcast on BBC1 Scotland but last Monday evening I watched former Scottish referee Steve Conroy being interviewed about referring decisions including the penalty for Celtic against Motherwell last Wednesday evening.
Conroy said that it was up to the referee’s interpretation of the incident to decide whether it was a penalty or not.
Conroy was probably not the best former Scottish referee to be interviewed as he had a controversial incident when he was a Scottish football referee before he quickly retired in March 2012. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Conroy_(referee)
It is a pity that Martin Wiesgler who is normally asking the questions on Scotcast had not been asking Steve Conroy the questions as Wiesgler is a big Hearts supporter.

Nothing wrong with VAR.

Problem is with its implementation.
