VAR watch.

VAR and associated questions.....feel free to add any...

If there are a number of games all being played at the same time.....and 1 VAR official and ! assistant appointed per game.....and Clarence House? is the central hub for all things VAR.....does that mean there could be quite a number of MIB in the same control room at the same time?.....and if so, what is the likelihood of all these MIB being able to confer on any potentially contentious VAR calls before an outcome is reached?

Is it also the case that those doing the match commentary will be audible to the VAR officials in the VAR control room in real time?.....which if true, could no doubt bring in to question the impartiality of whatever contentious VAR decision(s) is about to be decided upon and could therefore set the narrative?

There's lots of unknowns that need to be addressed and answered as a matter of urgency imo...

The officials should be 🎤 up. In game transparency / explanations of how the decisions are arrived at is the only way.
 
Bobby Madhun comes out and states Celtic should have had penalty.
No shit sherlock.
Due to my paranoia being in overdrive, I see this as a bad thing.
Brother Bobby has gone to England and become a better referee (🤣🤣)
He will return to Scotland as the man who can run VAR and fix the "teething problems"
And he's got to be impartial!! He would have given Celtic the penalty!! (Bullshit) He said it himself.
And that will be the headline in the media as he makes his galant return to Scotland on his white horse to save the day!!
And when this happens, and we are continually fucked over by "teething problems" we will get.....

"But Madden is impartial, he would have given a penalty that one time, remember?"
 
It would be worthwhile imo to set up a Q and A with the Celtic SLO, John Paul Taylor featuring all that we want to know about VAR, how it’s run, what process is being follow followed, who exactly are those involved and what is their role/involvement in the process, who decides what, where and when, etc, etc.

We need to demand transparency of the SFA, and the Celtic SLO should be able to ask and have answered these type of questions…

The thing is, the refs have been miked up for many years now. But their conversations remain secret. For the last 20+ years at rugby internationals you could hire a radio device that was tuned into the refs mike so you could follow the entire match. They often broadcast the ref's explanations on the tv but refuse to do this for football.

Also, they show the TMO (VAR) replays on the big screen in the ground so the 3 refs and the TMO can all watch together (along with the fans, players, coaches, tv audience, etc) And you hear all of the refs chatting through their decision. This is much clearer to evrryone but for some unknown reaso the football lawmakers refuse to allow this.
