Ian Maxwell is expecting three months of chaos once VAR is introduced.
Scotland is among the last Champions League nations to introduce video technology with the first matches expected before the World Cup break next month.
Trials have been going on since the start of the season with six cameras in place at grounds with pictures being monitored at a central hub.
UEFA has ignored Scottish referees in four rounds of Champions League fixtures, fans expecting an improvement in decision making with the introduction of VAR could be in for a big shock.
Maxwell told The Sun:
Everyone I speak to at Uefa tells me the first three months are horrendous. You can have your driving instructor sitting beside you for as long as you want but your first time out on the motorway is a whole different ball game.
VAR has been in place at all of Celtic’s Champions League fixtures this season without any horrendous outcomes.
Some decisions may seem harsh or unfair but ultimately they are generally accepted as being correct.
With four seasons experience of using VAR from across Europe there really shouldn’t be a horrendous settling in period for the overdue technology.
Lol getting his excuses in first while VAR is in place and sevco continue to cheat and get away with it.
It will be the usual shite teething problems.
what he is saying is we arent ready because some of the brothers from the ludge are still to finnish the last parts of the degrees the bunch of paw grabbing bastards !!! fact .
Yeah,three months of chaos regarding the plucky newcomers who certainly love penalties and honest mistakes
The Worshipful Master has paved the way for pro sevco honest mistakes to continue.
It will take a number of ludge meetings with the rangerees to get all their ducks in a row.
” … Your First Time Out On The Motorway Is A Whole Different Ball Game.” is a trite and pathetic mixed metaphor which underlines Maxwell’s complete un-mastery of anything! Like the Referees he gives us, he is an incompetent and underwhelming individual, aloof and totally removed from reality of his undertakings.
Another product of the monarchy of a country which did not choose it!
