The Premier League in England will today vote on a Wolves proposal to ditch Video Assisted Referees. Wolves endured several poor VAR decisions in the season just ended which has raised their dander. Celtic suffered from terrible VAR decisions, especially when it was new in 2022. Those early experiences anchored some of our thinking.
Without VAR, Newco would have taken the lead against Celtic at Ibrox in September, when the referee missed foul on Lagerbielke. Without VAR, on our next visit to Ibrox in April, Newco would have scored twice in 10 minutes to level the game, when the referee overlooked a foul on Iwata. Without VAR, Newco would have taken a 74th minute lead in the Scottish Cup Final, when the referee missed a foul on Joe Hart.
You can rightly contest the VAR decision against Iwata at Tynecastle, but in a tight league race and a tight cup final, VAR played a crucial role on reaching the correct outcome.
There can be no going back to instant and unaccountable decisions. VAR must be maintained, with improved technology deployed as soon as possible.

GGH- I’ve heard his name for a couple of weeks mate HH
AJ subbed for Canada….Frimpong scores a minute later
VAR: Celtic could have had a few goals (debatebale I suppose) when the linesman flagged offside and the referee stopped play before the player pulled the trigger. There were several games when replay showed the Celtic player was clearly onside. I thought this was the MIB finding another way to stop us from scoring.
I think the huns got VAR penalties 10 games in a row….from about March onwards
De Gea is only 33 ? A possibility…
Bada
Paul’s article overlooked the decisions newclub got at vital points of last season
Gene-…..quite……
Gene- including games where the huns weren’t playing….
St Stivs – correct to remember your family’s role At this time 80 years ago. My hero, uncle Alex was in the first wave 80 years ago today, he reached Canne and met his brother, John, was parachuted in.They never saw each other again, John was killed in Holland. My grandmother got the telegram in her bomd damaged house in Gibshill.
Alex helped form the Greenock CSC and took me to my first game in 1962.
Respect and remember- and never, ever, let a Hun lord it over you in terms of fighting against the Nazis – ask them where the Rankers first team was from 39 to 45.
Great to see Major Trevor-Lillie replicate the WWII Piper Billy Millen by playing ‘Highland Laddie’ on the beaches of Normandy earlier today as part of the 80th Commemoration of D Day. Billy Millen was actually a Canadian of Scottish descent, but one who from an early age grew up in Shettleson. He was Lord Lovat’s personal Piper back in June 6 1944 and after landing with Brigadier Simon Fraser (Lovat 15) as part of the newly formed Commando 1 Brigade, only soldier wearing a kilt at the landings wearing the Cameron tartan, and armed only with his sgean-dubh. He continued playing all the way to and across Pegasus Bridge. Lord Lovat as known is the Chief of Clan Fraser, and of course one of his antecedents Simon Fraser (Shimi) joined Bonnie Prince Charlie in his ill- fated attempt to put the Stuarts back on the British throne 1745-46. but which had it been successful the Bonnie Prince would, in time, have become King Charles III long before the present bemedalled Prince. But of course he wasn’t, made it back to France via Skye, unlike Lovat who was executed for Treason, in 1747, at nearly eighty years old.
What a palaver
Palaver was trying to login. No disrespect intended with the timing.
Jinky who were your uncles Alex and john
And another thing…
Can anyone seriously imagine the likes of Starmer, Sunak or Farage, (all at Normandy today) leading Great Britain back into Europe?
No, me neither, cowards one and all
Celtic Mac 11:10
Another Canadian with Scots links (bear with me) landed on the D-Day beaches with the Canucks and was shot four times but survived.
The actor who played Scotty on StarTrek.
Other than that, I have enjoyed some stories from CQNers about the real men that fought that day – the hun have no monopoly on that.
St Stivs – both Kennedys from Inchgrreen then Gibshill (1936), my mother’s brothers.
Related any to Peter and Terry Kennedy if higholm Street ?
Back to trousers.
Sunak can’t even wear a decent pair to the ceremony nor even place the wreath correctly.
Lying can’t
St Stivs-not that I know of.
Swinney always makes me think of soapy Sam Ballard in Rumpole of the Bailey.
Calling it a night.
Huge finds today for the genealogy jigsaw and looks likely that something I puzzled over for a long time got solved ,…. Two Higgins brothers got married to two O’Neill sisters in Clonoe Tyrone in the 1850s.
People born before the an gorta mor.
Finally found the registers that make sense.
Happy with that.
That big birkmyres mill. Must have been a life savers to thousands of Irish.

Never knew that. Did know that fellow Star Trek actor George Takei, (Sulu), was detained as a youngster along with his parents, in a US concentration camp, after Pearl Harbour, when all Japanese, citizens or no, were classed as the enemy within. William Shatner played a military lawyer in ‘Judgement at Nuremberg’ alongside Spencer Tracy and Burt Lancaster in 1961.
The bulk of those who landed at Normandy were British, American and Canadian, not only, not solely, but mainly.
Texas Tim.

…….…
The Huns avoided the “draft” and got away without having a single trophy stripped after committing Football’s greatest crime through EBT’s.
Geniuses? Or well connected? Or both?
Anyway….Imperialist MP’s recently making noises about conscription and considering that a foreign country rules Britain through these imperialist MP’s a new “draft” cant be ruled out in the near future.
The Clash sung about this 40 odd years ago. 👀️

Hated Video Assisted Rangers the whole season. If the buns hadn’t got all those dodgy decisions they would have dropped more points in the games against everyone else and would maybe have managed draws with us in one or more of our games. Maybe if the off side rules and hand ball rule were changed it might make a difference to how I think but right now VAR is not adding to the football experience.
Good morning all from a very chilly 6 degree and wet underfoot Garngad.
Regarding VAR, out source to independent foreign officials and get it used properly (ie get the best 1 available) or bin it. Why feck about with something inferior that doesn’t help.
Oh and I know it helps, certainly 1 club in particular.
Watch out for Bobby Madhun make an appearance on VAR.
Anyway let’s get our own house in order.
Any sign of more board changes? To take us forward. Tick, toc, tick, toc.
Signings? Backing Brendan?
Have a nice day yall.
D. :)

Stop saying yall. This isn’t Texas. Ya big yank ye 😂
Reading back over the comments concerning VAR and how Sevco got numerous dodgy decisions from VAR reviews.
It’s like, if it hadn’t been for VAR they wouldn’t have accumulated so many points and yet before VAR was introduced the CQN comments pages were all about the referee awarding numerous dodgy penalties.
So, I don’t think VAR has been responsible for “closing the gap” at all. In fact, if it hadn’t been for VAR those decisions during the Sevco games would have stood.
So I for one am pro VAR.
By those decisions , I of course meant the decisions that went Celtic’s way!
Good morning all from Govanhill. I love Fridays. 👍
‘We’ll shall fight them on the beaches…’
A famous battlecry from Churchill in 1940
But not one that our brave Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is overtly familiar with it would appear, having done a runner before the final part of D Day commemoration on Omaha Beach. Leaving Foreign Secretary David Cameron, (not wholly inappropriate given that the Queens Own Cameron Highlands actually took part in the Normany Landings) alongside President Biden, President Macron and Chancellor Olaf Scholz (no relation to Sergeant Schultz of Hogan’s Heroes). This PM remember, who if reelected plans to draft the youth of today into the Army. You could not make it up,….. and I didn’t.

Got 2 spare tickets for Taylor Swift at Murrayfield tonight.

They’re yours if you fancy it. No charge. Meet me in the Grosvenor at the west end for cocktails and pink gin.
On this day …

HAHAHAHA – PLEASE COME BACK
“I wouldn’t even consider returning there”
Fabio Silva has ruled out a return to The Rangers FC and criticised fans over social media abuse in a scathing attack
The Wolves forward arrived at Ibrox on loan on January 1 and scored 6 goals but was unable to help the club to any trophies
He has now revealed that he won’t be returning and has set his sights on a move to Spain
Silva sensationally hit out at the Gers support saying: “I appreciate the fans of all the clubs I have been too because even if it wasn’t going well I always got messages of support from Wolves, Porto or PSV fans.
“But at Rangers it was different, they are so intense and passionate that it was hard to cope. I loved the atmosphere in the Europa League game or the draw with Celtic and that will live with me forever because as even in Portugal I’ve never witnessed that level of noise in a stadium before.
“We won most games when I was there, but after just one or two defeats or even draws I was getting thousands of messages of abuse on social media.
“If I posted anything or if the club posted anything including me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter the comment section was full of people saying I was useless or ‘get out of this club’.
“I think they forget I am a young man in a foreign country trying my very best, but for a large section of Rangers fans that wasn’t enough as they hate to see their big rival winning titles, and I can understand that, but think they were unfair on me as I was played out of position most of the time and in most games played well.
“It is for that reason I would never want to return to Rangers, in fact I wouldn’t even consider it.
“I hope my next move is to La Liga as I love the country and the culture and think it will be best suited to me for my development as a player.
“I wish Rangers all the best in the future but have no interest in returning to play there.”

QUANTUM, do you mean the decisions that were eventually CORRECTLY given Celtic’s way? There is a key difference.

Yep- The point I was trying to make was that VAR corrected the wrong decisions by the referee. If no VAR then those decisions would have held.
Nice one CCV 👏👏👏
