Ange Postecoglou has blasted VAR for ending the flow of the game after watching his side endure long delays on decisions in Celtic’s win over Dundee United.
The Hoops boss was left frustrated over a lengthy pause as officials poured over whether or not Alexandro Bernabei handled the ball. A penalty was eventually awarded against Celtic but their manager was left seething on the sidelines over the time it took as he claimed the decision “didn’t even need VAR.”
Celtic went on to win the game 4-2 after producing a late Celtic Park show of character after a Tony Watt equaliser stunned the home fans on 88 minutes. Postecoglou referred to his ‘we never stop’ mantra once again after watching his side blow United away with two quick-fire goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada as they fought back. Speaking to Celtic TV, the Parkhead manager said said: “I think people realise by now, it’s not by chance. It’s something we have drilled into the guys since day one. They’ve embraced it, they refuse to yield, they refuse to give up. There is no lost cause.”
