VAR will make decisions black and white, we were told.
But plenty of punters - not to mention managers - were left seeing red with the technology after it’s big roll out. Anyone who thought VAR would take the heat off our officials have been proven wrong after just ONE weekend!
Celtic fans were spitting over a disallowed goal and non-penalty award against Hearts while Jambos boss Robbie Neilson bemoaned the time it took to award his side two spot kicks and Motherwell gaffer Steven Hammell couldn’t believe it wasn’t used to check what he felt was a blatant penalty for his side against Aberdeen. Stevie Drennan, Condorrat, said: “After watching Hearts v Celtic I wonder if there’s any point in VAR. Why was Tony Ralston's goal chopped off? Why was the handball no penalty? Why was Abada's 'offside goal' not checked?. It will be just be the same biased referees making decisions hiding in a room.”
