Scottish football has finally caught up with the modern world by rolling out VAR but the ancient conspiracy theories are still in place. Celtic might have won at Tynecastle but fans are still raging about some of the calls.
Brian McColligan , via email, said: “Now I know what VAR stands for – Video Assisting Rangers. One game in, Rangers one decision for, none against, but Celtic no decisions for, five against.” Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: “The handball was a stonewall penalty. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t given till you see a stat that Celtic have not had a penalty in any competition since April, which tells you a lot. And Rangers fans think we get all the decisions.”
Paul McCormack, Coatbridge , said: “Despite all the training, all the expense and all the fanfare, the only person on the planet who didn’t think Celtic should have had a penalty on Saturday was the aforementioned highly trained Grade one official. Individuals are still making grade one howlers, even with the extra help.”
