Reply With QuoteI don't think it's ****e. It's actually proving very useful at showing up our amateur referees for what that are. This is the fundamental issue that needs sorted out. I don't really see the issue with the technology itself.

So we all agree VAR is schecht. Entirely and overall can be run and abuse to suit a narrative.
Now imagine the fun your going to have with 15 minute cities, increased surveillance etc etc. You were warned.

And there lies a big issue as to where we get a whole heap of new referees from when the top bunch are invited to become professional? I dont have all the info, but im sure some of the top refs have quite well paying first jobs, and seriously doubt a certain rat, one Mr D. Ross of Moray will give up any of his current revenue streams to run the line as a professional ref!Originally Posted by TerryTheTerror

We promote those that want to do it. It's not like they could be any worse is it?

The VAR official for SAturday is Mike Rocone. The same VAR guy who was watching the screens for Considine’s handball against Killie. So much for making a mistake.

Another shocker yesterday in the Saints vs Hibs game. An incredible decison, with wee rat boy Craig Napier at the centre of it - he who gave St. Mirren the penalty at Tannadice. He really is a truly awful referee. Worth a watch if anyone hasn't.

Watched it just now. Wish there had been the same uproar about Edwards red card earlier in the season, or Craig Gordon's assault on Fletcher. I agree the refs are f*cking horrendous though

It's actually incredulous that St Mirren got that penalty and yet Fletcher got booked for diving. For one thing Main was running towards the corner flag before he tried to swim there instead, Fletcher was right through on goal and the keeper went right through him. Honestly we must have the worst officials in the world

Football's in danger of becoming a non-contact sport.

Well St Mirren did get a non contact penalty so you're probably right!
