Just watching motd. The spurs Newcastle game. That penalty decision is madness
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Utter madness. I don’t think VAR itself is the problem, it’s the ridiculous way it’s being used. In principle I think VAR could be very good, but it’s farcical at the moment. Can only imagine the coont we’d make of it if we could afford it up here.

BTW Bruno Fernandes must be a shoo-in for the Golden Boot.

Was he not the top scorer in the europa league?!

Quite an accolade that...

Aberdeen got two penalties and Leicester got 3 yesterday , is there a couple of other meltdowns going on elsewhere too or is it just in the west of Scotland and in Donegal ?

I don't see any meltdowns anywhere.

Are you quite unwell?

Thought the first pen against Motherwell was a wee bit harsh but the 2nd was a pen, every day of the week.

Thought Motherwell should have had 2 as well mind you.

Doubt it'd have had any real affect on the game, Rangers dominated Motherwell.

How the didn't get at least one is baffling.

I’ll tell you another anomaly I’d like to fix by var. the ridiculous keeper an inch off his line getting the pen retaken but walls consistently a few feet over at direct free kick scoring opportunities not punished. The latter feels like a bigger transgression to me?

I’m with Crystal on this one. It’s a coincidence, nothing more. I find it all a bit cringeworthy. It’s common knowledge there will be refs there with team loyalties. But they’re doing a job and I’d guess they call the game as they see it rather than how they’d like to see it. And I like to believe that too. I’m not one for this conspiracy stuff.
Celtic continue to clean up on the trophies front because we do the business on the park. I understand why some fans will look at the ref to assign some blame. I was saying the same things back when Rangers were cleaning up trophies. It’s all part of the fun. I haven’t seen the challenges but I won’t throw any more doubt over them. I’m sure they were justified. We all know the rules make almost any contact in the box a foul, can we blame the ref for this? Not in my book.
I think if refs here used cards more to enforce rules it might help to improve the image of the game. Not at first of course. But as players realise dirty tackles and late challenges draw fouls, they’ll learn to use sense and cut out errors to avoid cards.
Nothing wrong with a couple of pens in a physical game in my book, provided the ref has been consistent to both teams as far as decisions go. Don’t think VAR is the answer to anything football related tbh.
