Cookie Monster Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Listening to supporters it will never catch on. The people who watch on the television have spoken. The fact it makes the experience less exciting for people who attend matches is neither here nor there I never got the breakdown of the SMISA survey of those who never go to a game.Let me think, do I want the correct decision or possibly not [emoji848] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 It wasn’t a very popular poll given there is around 1200 SMiSA members. The result of the VAR poll, from 211 votes, was as follows : FOR: 143 AGAINST: 68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it makes the experience less exciting for people who attend matches is neither here nor there It’s with us now. Desmond White of Celtic many years ago took the view that live football on TV was anathema to footballs interest. Yet, despite wall to wall coverage in England crowds at the top games continue to grow with a number of clubs building bigger stadiums. They include large screens where replay action and VAR analysis can be seen so successfully blending the match and tv experience IMO.

Ok, are you saying two thirds of the people who voted don't attend games? To save you any hassle, you've made a massive assumption that the "vast majority" share your view. I happen to think the "vast majority" see it as helping that the CORRRECT decisions are made in the games we play, and not just against the Old Firm. PS The same "vast majority" hardly vote on any issues that SMISA raise. Edited April 21, 2022 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went from 1 referee and 2 linesmen to 1 Referee and 2 Assistant Referees to 1 Referee and 2 Assistant Referees plus a 4th official before then review of decisions using TV and now onto VAR. Used well , it can add to the tension and atmosphere at games. Especially if the ground has replay facilities the fans can watch live. All about opinions. For me that ‘tension’ is at the expense of what makes football the best sport in the world. Fast, cutting edge game play. VAR (for me) adds an unease to practically every open play goal.

As you say Mr B ….All about opinions. I still feel the hurt of the cup exit to Celtic at Love Street after Celtic scored when the now late Johnny Doyle was yards offside and it stood. Oh for VAR that night or the day when Abercrombie (I think it was) cleared the ball of the line whilst standing on the line only for a goal to be awarded to the Govan Team.

Happy to respect your opinion Elvis and you may be right but as long as it’s arithmetically possible for us to stay up, even if it goes to the playoffs then I will keep believing. It’s a choice to be positive just as your choice is to view things negatively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Monster Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 I disagree entirely. Sure. A player plays the ball a second time after taking a free kick outside of the penalty area, what is your decision?You are a referee, during play a player calls you a fcuking cheat. What do you do?

Are you trying to infer that, since most fans don’t know every single rule within football, they can’t tell when VAR has gotten something wrong? If so, that seems strange & a very weak argument. But to answer your questions. 1. I’m not sure exactly what you mean here but if it’s someone kicking a ball twice after a free kick, I imagine it would be something along the lines of indirect free kick/ retake. I can’t remember a single example of this ever happening. 2. I imagine a booking/ red card offence. You’ll never change my mind on VAR I’m afraid. I’ve seen it in action and my opinion is, it makes the game FAR worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sure way of proving that not ALL of my posts are the shite that you seem to think, only about 30% TBH. Now, grow up and get some new patter.
