UEFA exposes the home made VAR preferred by the SFA

1. VAR is why our refs now prefer the spurious free kick/ break down play approach.
   It has taken away 95% of the cheating that was employed before it was introduced.
   All that’s left is the ability to “ choose” what image they use on VAR decisions and the stopping play approach.
   Surely UEFA need to have a look at this or at the very least have it brought to their attention?
   It brings the whole game in Europe into disrepute if we have a rogue state employing its own interpretation of the rules, AKA as cheating.
   The evidence above looks pretty solid to me.

   1. Just as a side note….surely we have a graphics expert Celtic supporter out there who could apply the same tech to these images as is used in countries who have a semblance or morals and ethical behaviour that use VAR.
      These bastards need called out using irrefutable imagery.

      1. This is just me , but until we hear the audio between the VAR poodles and stooges and referees through the stadium loudspeaker , in actual real time LIVE , Scottish football shall remain in the palaeolithic period of the Stone Age ! Wilmaaaaaa…I’m home !

2. The differences in the two systems are apparent.
   Affordability was the stated reasoning. Does anyone know what the difference is in pound notes ?

   1. This was my thought too but then Joe makes the very good point that the system is in use in 3 stadiums in Scotland. It will have also been used in other stadiums here for the qualifiers of other teams.
      This confirms that we can at the very least provide the infrastructure for it which I believe was another factor in it’s implementation.
      But if it is being used by 3 clubs in Scotland I assume it is down to the clubs to make the stadium suitable for it at there own cost so no reason they shouldn’t be pushing it across the league.

   2. We pay MN & PL etc without what seems much return, I wouldn’t mind at all if Celtic paid more than everyone else for a proper VAR system, cis we will benefit from it from both perspectives, our games and THEIR games would both be scrutinised properly….it would be the best money we could spend.

3. Well, the match officials are not rated by FIFA or UEFA,

   so they’ve nothing to lose by supporting the current, ‘inconsistent’ VAR set-up?

   …or, binning VAR altogether?

   You’d think that the strongest club in the SPFL would have a clear policy on VAR,

   and match officiating improvements, generally?

4. Sevco will know all about ‘unfair’ (really fair) officiating tomorrow night for sure !
