Foul by Dessers in the build up?

Where’s VAR when you need it?


----------------------------------------------------------------------
That rule is total nonsense imo. It's a foul from the final bit of play then fine but the build up to scoring goals literally starts the second it kicks off. If the officials don't call the foul in real time then that should be it

Don’t disagree but that’s not the way it’s being used.

The inconsistent use is what causes the problem. Different interpretations for different games

A foul committed in the middle of the park isn't the build up for a goal and you see it used in those instances all the time.

Was that not what happened with Dessers in the last old firm game? It was definitely a foul but it wasn't committed when the goal was actually scored

Inconsistency, incompetence and unconscious bias, who knows?
In the Celtic match Shankland hand balled in the penalty area and didn’t even get a yellow card for it ( he was already on a yellow) A Hertz player kicked his foot over the head of a Celtic player and it wasn’t even given as a foul. Mmmmh?!

And there’s the late goal that makes it flattering

That’s one example. Also iirc a Rangers “goal” chalked off in the last OF game for a foul back up the park earlier on

It's just a rule that doesn't make sense. If the attacking team foul in the middle of the park, break up the park and then score from a corner it wouldn't be pulled back.

Just need to thump Celtic in their own patch to have a shot at the league now. Highly unlikely.

Correct decision.

Not a great performance from the Gers but a deserved win.

We’re on the same side here. My belief is that up in Scotland it’s like giving naughty kids a new toy.

They can’t play with it as intended and can’t stop fwcking about with it

Goldson uses two hands to block stuff but this is totally a red

Var has introduced a weird system of giving meaningless advantage to teams when they should just call the game as they see it

A ball hitting your hands because you can't control the way you jump to head a ball is quite different to putting your arm out when you are behind the goalkeeper. I didn't think it was a red though

Agreed

Penalty - yes

Red card - absolutely not

It's definitely led to referees getting more decisions wrong in real time, which absolutely should not have been the intent of the system.
