  2. Club Should Demand VAR in Scottish Football

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Dirty Sanchez

    It's not a case of whether we need it. The challenge is in how they use. It has to be done in a way that suits the sport, or they'll lose people.

    We've already got a faction who are still hostile to a goal being correctly disallowed by VAR.

    I'm all for it, but I  saw an Aussie game where they twice stopped the match to hand out straight reds for tackles that had happened in the previous passage of play, both of which only the likes of Chris Sutton would have been calling for. That's going to turn people off.

    Handball is a separate issue. It's not a VAR problem.

    My heart always sinks when a I hear a commentator utter the "Was it deliberate?" line at the sight of a handball. The Sportscene guy is good for it.

    I rejoiced the other week when I finally heard a pundit, Michael Owen, clear things up.

    He said words to the effect of, in nearly all cases ***OF COURSE IT'S NOT DELIBERATE!!***. Who in their right mind deliberately handles in the box? 

    It's  the new interpretation that's  the problem, not VAR. VAR only gave that ref the means to confirm it was a penalty under the new interpretation, instead of having to guess, like they've always done.

    By definition, a penalty is penalising an offence. Focussing on genuine intent should surely be the route they are going down with this law, rather that any such pish about making your body bigger or whatever.

    Penalties for that type of incident have been a shitfest for years in football.

    Willie Collum would have booked her as well. That's one of his signature moves.

    I'm not sure that they'e going down the right road with the changes to the law,  but it's very hard to come up with a law that will work for these handballs.

    Dinnae think Maradona could have won the World Cup all by himself if he was Scottish and part of our Team. 

    Don't know, but from 00:14 onwards he takes a few seconds to beat half the Scotland team by himself too.

    Does it say which seats you have "bought"?

    Look on the bright side, it might be a nice wee earner if you turn into a tout for the day. emoji12.png

    Phantom tickets are for W1. Been informed they've been sent out, when I collected my real purchase today.

    If I get them it won't be an issue because I've been promised a refund, and I'm sure I could easily shift them anyway without taking them back.

    The issue will be if they don't arrive, which isn't out of the question since the street name on the address is jibberish. Fortunately the postcode and house number are correct, so we'll see. Would be a waste of two tickets for someone who needs them and a waste of £36 for me.

    Of course, I was dismissed as though it was obviously my fault when I first highlighted it today.

    Because that's what I'm known for. Lying about buying tickets I don't know anything about. :whistle

    I'd like to pile on about the offside decision, but there's only one Rangers player between Lex Richardson and the goal line, so it's offside for the same reason that Dundee United's goal against us in the Scottish Cup Final was also correctly given offside.
