I too had the pleasure of three Celtic fans next to me in main stand but my six year olds constant signing must have annoyed them immensely. They stood out alright . Back to the game and tactics were magnificent the application was unbelievable and what a squad of players we now have . I can’t remember a stronger squad in all my time following saints back to 1987. I guess it depended on which way your six yo’s fingers were facing… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More coverage was given to Motherwell v Hearts which must be a first. The result will be roundly dismissed as a blip on Celtic's record rather than a creditable win. I loved Postecoglou's comments at the end of the game on the radio suggesting that the use of a game plan was somehow a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kombibuddie Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 VAR is a crock of shite. It's use should be limited to 'did the ball cross the goal line or not" Being adjudged to being off side by a toe or the width of a bawhair is a load on rubbish. Goals is supposed to be the aim of the game but VAR favours defences. Any part of your body onside, you should be deemed onside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part of the body that should be deemed offside is the foot, not an arm as that, IMO, doesn't give an advantage. It also doesn't favour the defence any more that it favours forwards, its impartial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the arm isn't included as you cannot score with your arm, whilst I meant goalscoring body parts, that wasn't clear. Did you see the Juventus goal disallowed by VAR recently. VAR checked player positions in the box & failed to look across the pitch. If he/she had, there was a player playing the "scorer" onside by a yard. I think Harry Kane had a goal disallowed as he pointed to where he wanted a ball played & his pointing finger was ahead of the defenders.

I understand there's been some decisions that are questionable but many more are the correct decision and that, for me, will always be preferable to human error. It's a continual myth about the Old Firm getting unfair decisions, this will debunk that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a continual myth about the Old Firm getting unfair decisions, this will debunk that. Or maybe it will confirm it.Personally, I think it will just reduce the amount of decisions made by refs during play and lots will just be "referred to" VAR. So, it may not be that they will have vastly more decisions overturned than other teams, they may just get less decisions awarded to them off the bat.

IF, and forgive me for doubting, the VAR official/referee declared offside because of a finger, they don't know their own rules. Only a part of the body that can be used to legitimately play the ball is deemed to be onside/offside. A finger cannot be the cause of a player being deemed offside.

I will indeed bud, as I do pretty much every week. The only difference this week is that I might just get on the next treadmill to the said former referee 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsidebud Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Not been on in a while - but had to comment on this - even though its old news now. What a result - and potentially a real turning point for Robinson and the Buddies. We looked comfortable for most the game. Now just to get Livi sent packing and then hopefully a wee upset at Ibrox 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
