VAR seen this, didn’t give it- SFA in the spotlight over double standards

Image for VAR seen this, didn’t give it- SFA in the spotlight over double standards

Over the course of seven days the double standards of the SFA have been exposed.

Using the same Laws of the Game Andrew Dallas and Alan Muir came to two completely different conclusions over fairly similar shirt pulling. One decision went in favour of a club that has gone 66 SPFL matches without conceding a penalty, the other against a club that has been champions in 11 of the last 12 seasons, Scotland’s dominant force.

Last week at Ibrox Muir combed through the footage to spot a hand pulling the shirt of Conor Goldson, bizarrely the defender fell forwards. Muir chose to ignore the body check by John Lundstram two seconds before the shirt pull.

Yesterday at Dingwall Sky Sports highlighted through a replay Will Nightingale having a full hand on the shirt of Oh Heon-gyu as they jumped to head the ball.

Unlike Muir, Dallas decided to keep quiet on the shirt pull and penalty decision, it seems like Hugh’s laddie had a really bad day at the office yesterday.

    Why does our so called board not cause embarrassing eruptions to these so called professionals about these going Ons the other lot seem to be running Scottish football, if we don’t open our mouths now this will keep happening,I thought a board was to run a club but also see fair play towards us.

  • Terry Thomas says:

    Surely there is a process to make a complaint with VAR, but as usual the SFA are not interested and there is no where else we can turn to. UEFA won’t listen. I think it’s down to the club’s to put pressure on the SFA I mean serious pressure that will affect them cause writing letters and meetings don’t work. There must be some way of protest that will affect the SFA any ideas?

    Lol at the BENNYS in our support still showing up at games they know are rigged.
    Do me a favour be brave and don’t edit out the BENNYS part in this post,it makes it look that your in denial of how DENSE our support can be at times,and yet yourself and others on here go on about sevco supporters taken and being fed DELUDEMOL.

  • Bob (original) says:

    How blatant does the cheating have to get before the Board

    COMMUNICATES with the increasingly frustrated, annoyed, disillusioned

    supporters – nevermind complain to the SFA?

    It really does make you wonder what the motivation is for the Board NOT

    to complain about blatant cheating…?

    The Board is quick to call out supporters’ behaviour it dislikes:

    the supporters should be calling out the Board’s behaviour we dislike.

    It just stinks: including our Board. 🙁

    Was that Kris Boyd commentating on the Celtic match on Sky? Whoever it was giggled like a schoolgirl when Scales’ goal was disallowed.

    Editor: Boydy provides the banter, Coisty without the brains.

  • Scud Missile says:

    The board being very selective in what they want to call out here,the GB for their shenanigans which do no damage to team on the pitch of play which doesn’t impact the outcome of the game.
    But here we have the refs and var officials PISSING all over us and other clubs in the league apart from sevco themselves who only seem to benefit from the decisions these ARSEHOLES are making.
    Lol honest mistakes,if we made these honest mistakes at work on a Tuesday/Wednesday and a Saturday/Sunday we would be looking at getting our P45, but with the SFA they reward mistakes and failures by putting these so called officials further up the food chain by giving them semi-final and finals to take charge of.
    The only other profession I know you get rewarded for FAILURE is politics,and look how CORRUPT that industry is.
