Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has told SFA chiefs they must speed up VAR or face ruining the beautiful game for punters.
The Parkhead boss was emotive after his team's thrilling 4-2 win over Dundee United as Kyogo and Liel Abada netted in added time to secure all three points and open up a seven-point gap atop the Scottish Premiership table. But the high drama wasn't kept in reserve for the pulsating final exchanges after Dylan Levitt appeared to have earned the visitors a shock draw. The decision to award United a first half penalty for a handball on Alexandro Bernabei was met with incredulity from supporters - and a section of pundits - who vented against the decision for referee David Dickinson to point to the spot after consulting with VAR.
And Postecoglou pulled no punches as he had his say on the technology with a loaded reminder which referenced Celtic 's non-call against Hearts a fortnight ago. Speaking on BBC Sportsound, the 57-year-old said: "I just think the way it looks, apart from if we're playing Hearts away, it hits your hand in the box it's a penalty. I don't even know why they bother with natural, unnatural, Berna wasn't even looking at the ball, how is he to know his arm is in an unnatural position? It basically means if the ball hits your hand in the box it's a penalty. If that's the way they want to define it.
