    VAR is a good thing.
    Nothing wrong with the technology.
    It’s how it’s applied is the problem.

    If we could get people who have a modicum of understanding of football to apply common sense, then we may get somewhere.

    It’s like the professional foul, brought into the game to curtail players just blatantly wiping out an opponent with no intention ‘ attempt to win the ball. If the ref could assess that it was a genuine attempt, then that should be part of the game.

    VAR can go suck its own cock and learn a contortion that can see the concomitant eruption be diverted up its own bumhole. It’s fitba, nae a Generation Waank video game.

    As soon as you have the technology, there comes with it a near-guarantee that it needs to find a home. Fitba isn’t it. We’re at the quarter final straw with the state of the game currently. VAR’s a bye to the final straw as far as I’m concerned. Get it to fuuck before it arrives.

    The tool is nae the problem, it’s the tools that use the tool.

    “Such tools are like old ladies on Sauchiehall Street lifting their skirts for every gullible techno-tw@t that walks by”, to paraphrase Keith Wyness.

    “We have the technology”. Aye, so leave it in Codona’s amusement arcade where it belongs.

    We want openness, we want transparency. The opportunity is there with the technology to get the important calls correctly or be held accountable as you’ve had that second opportunity.
    To go with status quo is to accept the sh!te officiating we’ve had for donkeys that allows bias to certain teams

    ****’s sake, that’s what these incompetent galoots at Holyrood claim, until you actually want an answer to a question on policy application or money.

    What’s to stop some biased prick with a whistle refusing to look at a replay.

    Leave the space invaders machines to the space cadets and zoomers.

    Nae like you to side with the establishment view.

    Absolutely no place in a fitba match with real people paying to watch it.

    Anyhoo back on topic. Phuck paying £20 to watch the dross we have produced all season (and in all honesty for a fair few seasons).

    I’ll be relying on my trusty free stream from the usual source which has been fine for every game so far this season.

    RedTV International is the way to go. £15 p/month to the club and you get all the games - home and away.

    You technophobes need to google “VPN”.

    I get that if you can’t get to the games. There’s nothing better than watching it live in the ground though.
    TV;s ok, but it’s nae a patch on being in the ground.

    Now, obviously this year is different, we’ve not been able to get in, but all the ST holders get access to the virtual ST, meaning we don’t need to subscribe to RedTV international and pay for a VPN (yes I know there are free VPN’s with limited download data)
