2 VAR checks on Celtics 3rd goal !! One for foul, one for offside.. Comical ffs!!

Or another, more radical, way of looking at it is VAR doing its job and getting it right?

No, trying to stop Celtic anyway they can. What's next, Joe Hart offside?? 🤣🤣🤣

Penalty to Rangers! Goes to VAR and after a lengthy check Beaton goes to the monitor, chops off the penalty and, rightly in my view, books Kent for diving. Stick that in yer conspiracy pipe and smoke it!!

1 penalty correctly over turned and 3 offside goals correctly chopped off.

And one given after a VAR check that was about 4 times longer than it needed to be.

That was incredibly close.  Real-time he looked off, but VAR getting all decisions correct tonight.

The linesman that gave the offside is literally about 6 inches away from Sakala who he flagged for offside. A shockingly bad decision.

Not convinced that was pen to Aberdeen.

Are you OK?  

I’m absolutely grand Debbie, why wouldn’t I be? You really are a strange character.

Anyway the goal checks took far too long at Celtic Park but other than that no dramas for a change.

Quickest ever var check at pittodrie over a penalty shout to Aberdeen in the 1st half, took about 8 seconds. 
 

Nit sure about how it works at other grounds, but do they announce there’s a check ongoing? There was a few tonight and fans have absolutely no idea what’s going on at all.

If plays stopped it should show on the screen if its being checked and why.  If not, usually you won't know about it until something happens.

We wee standing about aimlessly with no idea what was going on, seemed the ref was the only one that knew, then a red card came out. After 5 minutes or so on the clock, there had been about 90 seconds or so of football played.

It should - I understood - have a potential red card check show up?

[Debian]

Clearly the check was against the opposition here as it was at Ibrox 😉😊

We sometimes get a var check across the advertising hoardings, but very rarely. 

[vanderark14]

The last time Irvine was at Pittodrie. He's incompetent and should be demoted or worse sacked.

Correct decision. Reacts to the arm going across him. His own right arm is already high but he clearly throws an elbow into the players face. Deliberately. Red all day. Apparently Dunne has a black eye from it. I've always wondered about refs having a sneaky look at players who have gone down to see if there's any blood or swelling in situations like this.

Have you watched it in real time? if so there is absolutely no way you can come to that conclusion. If thats a sending off, football is not on life support, its dead.

He puts his elbow up after Dunne lifts his arm, its a clash of players with one running at full pelt. No intent whatsoever. 

[vanderark14]

I'd say one of the big issues with VAR is the countless slow mo replays which can make an incident look a lot worse. The incident I posted with Mcrorie and Dunne was a shortened video and in slow motion, I saw this in real time and I saw several lengthier replays so I had the benefit of knowing the full picture.

I have watched it in real time. I can understand why the ref missed it. Whole point of VAR surely? You've just said he puts his elbow up 😂. No intent? Aye, ok 👍
