SFA blasted for VAR silence as ex ref accuses Hampden chiefs of treating fans with contempt over 'inexplicable decisions'

A former top flight referee has accused the Scottish FA of treating the football public across the country with "contempt".

Steve Conroy has hit out at the governing body over the handling of VAR since it was introduced in the Scottish Premiership at the end of October last year. The use of the new technology has not stop controversy reigning across the sport since it went live. VAR controversy from the weekend continues to rumble on despite Scotland welcoming Cyprus and Spain to Hampden respectively over the course of the next week.

Premiership bottom side Dundee United has called for a summit on VAR following their game against St Mirren on Saturday at Tannadice. Boss Jim Goodwin raged at Curtis Main for what he described as a dive, while Hibs CEO Ben Kensell confronted SFA chiefs at Parkhead about the level of refereeing against Celtic. The BBC reported on Tuesday the SFA were looking to bring in VAR specialists in order to fix the problem.
