VAR being run by amateurs, it’s got calamity written all over it.
Last night at Easter Road heralded the start of the new era and it might be a painful experience to begin with because it’s been in place with professional officials at the helm for over a year in the English Premier League and it’s still causing uproar. Ian Maxwell was told it could to be horrendous initially and I fear the warnings to the SFA chief executive might well be bang on. It’s not going to stop arguments and battles. If you think it is, I refer you back to last weekend’s game at Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester City.
A City goal was chalked off for the type of offence referee Anthony Taylor had been letting go throughout the game beforehand. He was happy to let it go at the time too, only for the man at Stockley Park in his earpiece to tell him to consult a monitor over Erling Haaland’s tug on Fabinho.
