There are more than enough VAR related controversies for anyone to discuss but undeterred by the Laws of the Game the team at Sportscene decided to create a new issue as they reviewed Celtic’s 3-0 win at Livingston.
As a striker Kenny Miller chased every possible advantage during his playing days with offside a constant problem.
FIFA has regularly tinkered with the rules in recent times, the most significant being that you can only be offside if you are on the ball.
Smart strikers use this to drop deep without being involved in play, they can then dart back to get involved while always occupying the thoughts of marking defenders.
Sportscene analysis: Should Greg Taylor’s Celtic goal have stood?
The full-back scored for Celtic on his 100th appearance for the club, but should VAR have ruled it out? ?

No matter what Miller and Mikey Stewart may wish Kyogo was never offside in the build up to Celtic’s second goal. Had Ayo Obileye not cut out the pass and Kyogo netted he would have been offside, fortunately for Celtic the pass was cut out and play continued.
That is the rules, every top level striker uses it, that sort of knowledge gives them the edge.
To help your panel including @mstewart_23 who clearly don’t know the offside rule I’ve attached the IFAB rules. Literally took me 30s. Educate yourselves. pic.twitter.com/dx9iDXjWXt

Scotlands sevco media shame the worst sports media in the world .
That says it all about the standard of football punditry in Scotland: ignorance of the basic rules.
It was clear for all to see that Kyogo took no pert in the action leading to the goal, as the ball was prevented from reaching him by a defender, and he was not interfering with play in any way.
None of this would have mattered to Miller since he is there to talk down Celtic and bum up sevco at every opportunity.
As for Stewart, he is nowhere near as smart as he clearly thinks he is.
Lol at some Comedy Gold on radio snyde tonight Tadger Hannah was boasting about big Shirley getting sold and putting 20 yes 20 odd million pounds into the sevco bank account.
Here is another belter for you guys sevco are interested in bringing Blackpool striker Jerry Yates to ibrox,lol they would be better with that other Jerry Yates the former Tory MP.
Does deleting a tweet mean you never said that in the first place? ??? Cos that’s what they’ve done!
More to the point-so interesting theranger footy klub get pens continuously, so much it interferes with top
Goal scoring markets!!
Celtic get a pen and it was a penalty but wowzers-controversial…what a load of old shite-thank Fk Celtic are streets ahead of sevco on and off the pitch & too good for the refs..!!
