Var now proving that it is fair

[Returnofrros]

Why don't they use the same system as most professional team sports and use a clock controlled by the ref which stops when he blows his whistle and is started the moment the ball is in play again. Someone could do the restart so that there was no chance of the ref forgetting to restart the clock.
Don't know enough about the laws of football, but surely there are comparable time keeping systems used in other sports that could be adopted? Would formalise the final whistle, so that either it was when the full time was reached, or as in rugby you played until there was a break in play, that was not caused by the side without the ball.

I would be more than happy with that but TV companies want games finishing at roughly the same time.

I'd suggest games cud be up to 20 mins apart on a Saturday.

And just for a rule bend if hearts Celtic rangers came down to GD I suspect there will be long delays at start of 2nd half as each team tries to get their game to finish last.

P.S why is the result from Somerset first in.....seems to be some sorta time zone Doon their different from the rest of the country.

It does seem that there would need to be some rule about when the second half starts. Ref is in charge so he will control the start. Both teams not ready. Tough!

To put it simply Celtic think VAR is biased against them and in favour of Rangers (up to a point in favour of all the other clubs they play against but basically that is swamped by their tunnel vision against Rangers). Rangers are similar but exactly the other way round. ALL of the rest of Scottish football is together in that they think VAR is biased in favour of both of the ugly sisters ( as well as biased in most if not all other areas, reporting, finance, non VAR related decisions etc. etc.). Whilst I do believe there is a noticeable bias is favour of Celtic and Rangers in all these areas it probably isn't as bad as it seems given my prejudice against them and this is probably the same with most non old firm supporters. Celtic and Rangers supporters are so entitled, biased and downright obsessed that they will never look at it that way. How any Celtic fan can possibly think that the odds, decisions etc. are fraudulently stacked against them is bizarre beyond belief ( same for the Rangers).

Excellent post Dodbroon! I think their trouble is that everyone knows they should always win everything in Scotland, because of their overwhelming wealth. Sometimes their players just don't perform, it happens, and that's when they lose the plot. I don't think I can recall a situation where an OF manager has said well played about a Scottish team that beat them.Always their story is, ref was biased, or poor performance from us.

Nothing wrong with VAR. We all want the correct decisions.

The implementation of it is a separate issue.

It's got worse and worse and worse.

I have no faith that they can implement anything right so I'd rather it was gone.

Just about every manager in league bar our own has used VAR to bleat aboot defeats as well......they may as well go back to old system and bleat about referees.

The old system has gone. Now that VAR has been used to make decisions based on a mm do you think that will stop the media if it goes?

People moaned about refs before VAR came in so that's never went away.

Had it not been for VAR we would've lost against Celtic at Dens.

Had it not been for VAR we would've lost against Rangers at Ibrox.

It's here to stay, you don't have to like it but you need to learn to live with it.

Changes needed on the implementation, time taken to make decisions and crucially communicating the decisions.

Disagree it's here to stay at our level of football.

We play at elite level.
