ANGE POSTECOGLOU’S feelings about VAR are pretty clear and obvious: while the big Australian does not oppose its use outright, he feels a more soft-touch approach from those camped in Clydesdale House should be adopted to avoid the lengthy delays that have curbed his enthusiasm this season. Maybe it’s because it’s summertime in the Celtic manager’s hometown of Melbourne at this time of year, and standing around watching referees poke their fingers in their ears and squint at TV monitors in the traditional west of Scotland deluges isn’t his idea of fun. The Parkhead manager just likes things to move fast.
Imagine an alternate universe where Postecoglou, arriving in Scotland for the first time, wanted to take the family out for a quick bite to eat and plumped for the famous McCollum’s drive-thru. Minimal fuss, clear and obvious menu. Just the ticket. For the kids you can get the resident clown Silly Willie’s world famous Card-Happy Meal – a no-bells but plenty-of-whistles feast to satisfy the shallowest of hungers.
But question this: would the post-super-size carb hangover be worth it if it wasn’t so quick and easy?
