RANGERRAB 3,299 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 VAR would be used in the SPFL premiership only surely? Meaning of only the top 12 would vote on it? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’d pay for it ? can’t see the wee clubs being happy to pay for something they weren’t getting ( if they got a vote) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will get a vote and put a stop to it unless it comes out the SPL pot only. Which is fair enough. Worth noting teams have stopped moaning about the decisions almost like they have been told how this is going..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a hefty sum for teams being promoted to the SPFL It seems to me that it should be the SPFL as a body who pay for VAR. The amount (around £1m a year) would have to be deducted from the payment made to clubs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk say it ruins football you can't celebrate a goal etc. Last Thursday it really added to the game. Maybe that was just because it was all in our favour though. Certainly adds suspense. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. A participant club may not wish to meet the costs of VAR, for whatever reason but should still have the right to criticise or question poor decisions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pal who was there said he didn't have a clue what was going on during the VAR checks. Tension, yes but mainly due to ignorance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
