Chillidigits Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Well it's coming and a million eyes will be scrutinizing the administration of it. As we know Sportscene always analyse the controversial moments in a game . If the OF var decisions weighted in their favour are consistantly at odds with the tv evidence then that can't be swept under the carpet and if Robbie feels he has to train with 10 against 11 again and there's a general stench emitting from the stats compiled then get ready for fireworks.

logopolis Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 From the BBC Scotland website ( 7 seems to be a 'catch all' that overrides the very last statement? )... How will it work? The SFA system will be a mirror image of that already used in competitions run by world governing body Fifa, with the principle of "minimum interference, maximum benefit." All video assistant referees will be current or recently retired Category 1 officials, with the help of a minimum of six manned cameras in each game. The question the VAR will ask is not "has the right decision been reached?" but "has the referee or his assistant made an obvious error?" and/or "has the referee missed a serious incident?". VAR can intervene in seven areas: 1) For penalty box decisions/penalty kick or possible penalty kick offences. 2) For goals scored - all goals scored, and the build up to the goal being scored, are checked under VAR. 3) For straight red card offences, such as violent conduct and the denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity. 4) For serious misapplications of the laws - such as a goal scored direct from a dropped ball or throw in. 5) For cases of mistaken identity. 6) At the taking of a penalty kick and at kicks from the penalty mark (e.g., for encroachment or goalkeeper moving from the goalline.) 7 ) For serious, missed incidents in matches. VAR will not intervene to ensure a player is booked for what may be seen as a reckless tackle, for faulty restarts of play, or to award a foul and a free-kick.

Totally agree, if folk think that we're all of a sudden going to start getting decisions against the OF, I fear they're sadly mistaken. Any time one of them concedes a goal, it will be absolutely scrutinised to find a foul in the buildup, or an offside fingernail. It will increase pressure on referees, rather than helping them. And on top of that, you can never properly celebrate a goal ever again, without having to wait for the review first. It's going to be utter shite.

You attend the games live in Scotland, presumably. Live games call for live responses. Your spectator experience and your "call" for decisions is very different at the ground compared to TV. So to say that VAR has eliminated "mistakes" is because the scrutiny was placed on those marginal offside calls which are part and parcel of football.

I wonder if VAR will reduce the pressure on referees as VAR becomes the ultimate arbiter and thus the pundits will question VAR rather than merely officials? What I think we will see less of is the "evening it up" decisions ie a Red card for one team, so another slightly soft red follows for the other team, ditto penalties. This lassitude will likely disappear. I know it's not much but I just cannot see how VAR can be a bad thing for any team outside of the OF...I also understand wny the OF didn't want it, and thus that makes VAR a good thing in my book.
