    You think not I assume? What's your reasoning? If it's down to cameras they can't lie and it won't be down to the man with the whistle only.

    It will still be the same Scottish referees looking at the videos. No way they are chopping off a last minute winner at Ibrox/Parkhead

    I don't agree, camera evidence has to be used and they would have to be held accountable if they deliberately ignore it. Its used pretty successfully in England and would make a big difference in my opinion. It would certainly make a difference to how things are now anyway

    Didn't see any of the game but have to be disappointed and not being able to capitalise on 10 men for 45mins. We had 83% possession at one point when I looked. Shows we still lack that killer instinct in front of goal to some extent. Did the absence of Fuchs from the starting lineup play a part at all? He's the last player I'd have expected to be rested.

    He was carrying a knock apparently.

    To be fair to Livi they defended brilliantly in the second half

    They dont seem to be held accountable now so how do you think it would be any different next season if VAR comes in? I think there is a system in England where a ref can be dropped after a poor performance, but they are also rotated between Match Ref and 4th official which some media and fans outlets try to make more of if it meets their agenda.

    Refs in Scotland seem to be above question and you see that in practice with the number of times a ref goes over to the dugouts and the touchline bans that are dished out, something i am less aware of from doon sooth.

    Game was on Alba last night and available on BBC iplayer if you want to catch it up. I think big Max had our best opportunity to win it and with a little luck would have. Mulgrew had a decent long range effort saved too.

    They will be right in the spotlight and whether they like it or not will have to get in line. VAR works reasonably effectively everywhere else so I see no reason why Scotland has to be any different. If its clear on camera the correct decision has to be made.

    Anyone know how many United fans were at the game?
