compo 8,027 Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago 1 hour ago, Uilleam said: Call me a technological primitive, if youse wull, but, if the VAR system can use its magic lines to demonstrate whether, at the goal line (or as near to it as makes no appreciable difference), the toe of a forward's boot is 'offside', then surely this wizardry can, in like manner, determine if a ball is in the net. What am I missing? Is there some technical reason that system's sorcery must stop at the goal line? (Actual goal line technology would be better, I concede.) I think what your missing is the ineptitude of the Scottish officials it’s no wonder they don’t get the call at the finals of tournaments 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,345 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago More telling is the yellow cards per tackle ratio: Celtc average 10.8 tackles per card. The closest team to them is Kilmarnock, with 6.6 tackles per card. Rangers average 5.9 tackes before a yellow is shown. Aberdeen are lowest, with 4.7. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,827 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I don’t think it’s corruption in the true sense of bought and sold. The refs are amateurs not in the true sense of love of the game but love of their team. Whether decisions generally favourable to one club and generally unfavourable to another are deliberate or sub-conscious I can’t say. Young Dallas was VAR Chief yesterday and he has no cause to love celtic. Did he get to see the bit of the footage that shows the defender cow-kick the ball out of the goal? It travels from the sole of his boot forward to the field of play and lands on the goal line thus the ball must have been over the line. Goal! Even Michael Stewart thinks it was a goal though he exculpates the ref and linesman by saying it’s not enough to think. The officials have to be sure. Fair enough for the referee but VAR conclusively shows otherwise. What was Dallas thinking? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
