The Daily Record has claimed that the camera operative responsible for the problem as Fir Park on Wednesday ‘has been spoken to by bosses over the incident’.
This claim sheds further light onto the mysterious goings on at the Motherwell v Celtic match and the 36 hour delay for a comment that couldn’t even explain that the offside law is applied when a pass is made, not when it is received.
Discovering that there are camera operatives will come as something of a surprise to most fans who were under the impression that the cameras automatically track the movement of the ball, that there is no physical or human element involved.
If ‘the operative has been spoken to why didn’t VAR David Dickinson pick up on the issue before the critical incident? The camera seemed to be working perfectly well when a check was made on Daizen Maeda’s goal later in the match.
Giving their version of events, the Daily Record claims:
The SFA released a statement on Friday morning confirming that the closest 18-yard line camera did not capture an appropriate view of the second half incident.
Record Sport understands the QTV camera operator who failed to record the key moment has been spoken to by bosses over the incident but that reports that the lens had been trained on the dug out instead of the 18 yard line are apparently wide of the mark.
Despite the image seen by the public, SFA bosses insist the right call WAS made on the offside incident as the Hawk-Eye technology is designed to give accurate offside decisions from either of the two 18-yard line camera positions.
Should Celtic publish the reply from the SFA over the Jota VAR decision?
No, this has to be kept confidential
Yes, supporters deserve an explanation
Ange Postecoglou touched on the issues yesterday, expressing his frustration that ‘teething problems’ were being used to cover what appears to be a combination of incompetence and panic.
Dickinson will referee today’s match between Kilmarnock and Hibs, David Munro will be in charge of Celtic v Ross County with Ewan Anderson the VAR officiall.

So now the LL are leaking that the camera was not trained on the dug outs
So that now raises the question of what was it trained on
Why hasn’t the head of refereeing not been on tv or radio with the true story of what has gone on .
Or is it just when Kyogo score winning goals that he appears
“but that reports that the lens had been trained on the dug out instead of the 18 yard line are apparently wide of the mark.”
Whit? So who lied? The SFA or QTV?
When people keep changing their story and evade showing the evidence, it is normally a clear indicator that they have something to hide.
I think we should all contact the SFA and the Celtic fans liaison officer, and demand answers.
Celtic should also be contacting their lawyers and demand to see all the footage and get statements from those involved.
Aye, but it needs leadership from the club too Rab. So far only Ange has spoken out. When you hear Kris Boyd questioning decisions against us (which I still find hard to believe) and the club hierarchy remain silent, you have to wonder what’s going on.
Corrupt always have been always will be
What’s going on it’s makes paranoid supporters right to be paranoid the decision against Celtic_fc_1888 have.leave questions over integrity of certain officials with var it shows integrity of S F A Celtic_fc_1888 have always been subjected to SFA mis management or based decision on and off the park Celtic_FC_1888 must have a documents that a good QC can show this vendetta against Celtic_FC_1888 through the years the have suffer cause the the biased to help two clubs rfc liquidated and rifc better known new co its a a history thing Scotland shame and establishments from law to big business still exists
