Aberdeen issued a measured statement on the shortcomings of Video Assistant Referees yesterday, after their game at Livingston on Saturday ended in farce. With the score at 0-0, Bojan Miovski scored in the 92nd minute. Neither the referee nor his assistant raised an objection, and when the VAR checked the goal, they discovered their system was unable to provide overlaid lines to determine if an Aberdeen player was offside.
Technical failure can happen in any walk of life, albeit it is a result of choices and ultimately costs. Scottish football has a cheap and less-able version of VAR. We should invest more and buy a better product.
Decision making is a different matter. Denied access to appropriate tools, the VARs decided to overturn the on-field officials’ decision, despite acknowledging they were unable to see where the last defender was. This has rightly upset Aberdeen.
On the back of Celtic’s issue on Sunday, when apparently the VAR did not display the video showing Alistair Johnston getting a touch on the ball before colliding with the man at the Newco penalty, we have a conglomeration of abysmal practices among the SFA’s VARs.
Clubs should be asked to invest more for next season, but anyone who thinks the current management of VAR is Scotland is fit for purpose is worth the watching.

Big Jimmy
My son has a horse in the 13.20 at aintree on Saturday, Floeur (sp)
This is not a tip – more like a health warning
…………….
Very good GENE.
LOL
I will look out for your sons horse.
HH Mate.
I noticed that German Burgos, ex-Argentina, River Plate and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper was sacked last night from his job as a pundit for Movistar TV. He made a despicable pre-match comment about the 16 year old Barcelona player Lamine Yamal. He said, “If it doesn’t go well for him, he could end up at a traffic light.”
Most of you will know what he means by that…he will end up at traffic lights offering to wash your windscreen or sell you a newspaper, peanuts, lighters or some such thing. The lad was born in Spain to Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean parents. He has already played 6 times for Spain’s national team.
“If he felt offended, I am sorry and I apologise publicly,” Burgos said.
It will come as no surprise to learn he was assistant to Diego Simeone.
Horrible character!
Unlike Silva,who was tripped and fouled by a” Traffic light”.
In case any of you who left comments the other day, I did reply but a bit late on the thread, thanks again everyone.
Hello Bhoys, This is Brian McGinley’s son, Matt (AKA Ron Bacardi Jnr). Myself and my brother Adam, and my mum Linda (Mrs Bacardi), would like to say a massive thank you for all the lovely comments and condolences we have received on here – it’s been amazing. And great to know how well thought of Dad was – he loved being part of the forum. We are really grateful that some if you are considering a donation – thanks you. Here is a link to Dad’s funeral notice, which includes a link to Prostate Cancer UK, who we are collecting donations for. https://www.dignityfunerals.co.uk/funeral-notices/25-03-2024-brian-james-mcginley/
And to put all your curious minds at ease, the name “Ron Bacardi” was indeed from vintage Bacardi bottles, which was a favourite tipple when he was too young to legally drink! He was more of a cider and Red Wine fan later in life. He used the monicker all his life he said, using it in bookies when also underage for gambling and on other things too.

It is very gracious of you to post at this difficult time, and as such much appreciated.
Likewise your Mum and Brother.
Commiserations and condolences to one and all, to you Matt, to Adam and especially to Linda.
There is a new star due to appear in the Cosmos, in the Milky Way to be exact, (T Coronae Borealis System)
It could happen tonight or any time between now and September and will be visible from down here.
Keep a look out for it and when that day comes think of your Dad…..still shining

Won’t be the first time she has had that reference 🤪😂
We are not the only club having trouble with VAR in pursuit of honours & riches.
Leeds Utd looking for a promotion and a £100m + payday are one of umpteen clubs suffering.
“Leeds United boss Daniel Farke says they have received six apologies from referees’ body PGMOL this season. The 47-year-old said he expected two more after his team had two penalty appeals turned down in Tuesday’s 0-0 Championship draw with Sunderland”
Let’s keep things in perspective – if we had managed our game on Sunday, neither VAR, nor, Beaton would have bothered us.
Darwin
They don’t have VAR in the championship – maybe they need it

Moaning whinging latecoming and early leaving pantywetters are clearly your type of so called Celtic supporters.
Not really mine. In fact I don’t even view them as supporters. Just consumers. But they pay their money so are entitled. Boy are they entitled !!!
Everyone with an expert view and 3 or 4 regular escape goats to abuse with any misplaced pass.
You will hear them all if we are not 2-0 up at half time on Saturday. Heaven help us if we are level going into the last 15 as they will have buses to catch or a pub to be in.
Faithful thro and thro CSC.
Plzen draw with Fiorentina.
SPFL champs in 24/25 have to qualify for Champions League.
VAR was responsible for a Darnel equaliser being chopped off on Sunday .
A pen against us not being given at the new year derby ,and an opening Darnel goal being chopped off in the first derby of this season .
In the most important matches of our domestic season .
It’s not been against us .

In the Barbers this morning.Turkish sports saying,Cakir the Trabzonspor keeper,we are,according to them,very keen on,does not really want to leave Trabzon.Stayed there all his life,all family and friends there.Trabzonspor need the cash..Press quoting 8 million.
TT, if you beieve that VAR has not aided the Hun this season you are watching a different game from me.
Plzen draw with Fiorentina.

is that right? even though its only the first leg?
i lose track of all these co-eff rules.
but i said on here before – given our recent euro sortees, i dont have a problem with that, i would rather know in a qualie round that we arent good enough to be in the champs league itself than fork out 200 quid to watch us chase shadows when all we do is stockpile the cash.

In the most important matches of our domestic season .
It’s (VAR) not been against us .
I take your point but do you think it was not against us when it used an incomplete view of AJ`s tackle on Silva to award a penalty?
every ridiculous var decision for the huns in their games in a decision against us.
they have to be looked at together.
*is a decision
Dear oh Dear.
D :)
VAR was against us at Tynecastle
VAR was against us at Livingstone
VAR was against us at Ibrox
What is it that some people can’t see ?
“In the most important matches of our domestic season .
It’s (VAR) not been against us .”
——————————–
They are all worth 3 points so all are equally important and all adverse VAR influences are designed to cost you points.
If we were getting pen. claims denied when we were 5:0 ahead, I could agree that have done no harm
But that’s not where we got them

VAR has got the obvious decisions right from the weekend
ie goldson and the foul on Tomoki
Those were a given
And will always be given in a game broadcast to 1.4 million people
Where var influenced the game is by not showing AJ touching the ball before shaggy fell down
I will echo Paul67 on this
anyone who thinks the current management of VAR is Scotland is fit for purpose is worth the watching.
B78 – Another derogatory post aimed at Celtic supporters.
What time do you stay to?
How many strips a year do you buy?
How much merchandise do you buy?
Ah you see I am better than you.
How do you know why people leave early?
Is it work commitments?
Carers?
No you don’t you are just a horrible ignoramus.

Now that made me laugh out loud Hot Smoked.
Cheers. 👏
the masonic style secrecy when var has broke is also a major issue.
aberdeens situation from the other day – it was eventually admitted that var broke so didnt have a proper view of the offside – so they had just made up a guess that went against the on-pitch decison but didnt own up to it
thats shocking.
the same as our Jota goal at motherwell.
they would have much more respect of they just come out after the game and say var broke down
but that doesnt suit the agenda
100% we need to get refs and var officials from other countries in to cleanse the cheating

That’s some life OJ lived!
An absolute animal,who butchered 2 people to death,he literally got away with murder, there’s a brilliant documentary on BBC iplayer about the case ,will dig it out and post link,it’s like 30 years on and interviews with all the main players, lawyers etc
Clunks
Anyone who watched Neil Lennon having his feet sweeped from him ,in the Rangers penalty box ,in front of the Copland stand .
Should know there are no given decisions ,where these Masonic refs are concerned.
TT

Of course
Neither the refs nor VAR are fit for purpose
Not sure anyone (in their right mind) can argue for either
Hence my post!
!!bada bing!!
There was also a dramatised version also shown on BBC not that long ago. American.
Cannot remember the actual name of the programme mind you
