VAR...what is it good for? Absolutely nothing, according to John Caw as he kicked off the Hotline.
John emailed: “Why bother? After all it’s the same referees who are still going to see what they want to see. Would it not be better to have experienced former players to sit in VAR and give their opinions? These players must be completely neutral. Rather than taking four or five minutes and multiple lines to make a decision the benefit of the doubt should be given to an attacking side. After all, an eighth of an inch is ludicrous.”
On the same topic, Carl McCoy, Paisley, said: “I note that the SPFL are to discuss the introduction of VAR next week with the view of implementing it after the Qatar World Cup. Is it right though to introduce it midway through a season? Surely all rules and regulations must be in place at the start of the season to ensure, and I despise this phrase, sporting integrity.”
