Very sensible and well balanced statement.

Can you imagine that had happened in the OF game at the weekend!!!

The fall out if this happened during an OF match would be biblical.

A massive thing that's been consistently missed by the VAR teams, both in Scotland and elsewhere, is that they are only meant to intervene when there has been a CLEAR and OBVIOUS ERROR by the officials on the pitch. 

This is yet another example of VAR getting involved when there hasn't been a clear and obvious error during the match.

I said before VAR came in that we shouldn’t be throwing any more money at the refereeing fraternity until there was root and branch reform of the whole thing. The clubs should withdraw funding until that happens. We’d be cheaper paying foreign refs than supporting this lot any further!

Hopefully this is the incident which fucks VAR off in Scotland

VAR is a good tool and can add value. It’s the application of it in Scotland that’s shockingly bad (and England from what I’ve seen tbf). A full review of how it’s used is needed and if that means benching it for a few seasons then so be it.

I was against VAR or technology for anything other than factual decisions. Ie ball crossing the line, offside or was a foul inside or outside the box.

Ive softend my views a little as its good for correcting really bad errors however I think there needs to be a bigger review on the rules to start with (handball especially) and thereafter what VAR should get involved in.

Ive always thought we shouldnt be slowing down replays. Certainly not to super slow mo. A few times full speed and then a couple 3/4 speed should be enough.

The wolves VAR incident = holy shit

I honestly can't think of any other time where fans are almost unanimously against something....yet the authorities continue with it.

VAR has to get fucked.
