That'll be given offside, I suspect.

That Soutaar goal is offside but (unless you’re Celtic or @davek ) who wabts to see a goal like that ruled out? That’s not what VAR is for surely?

Not too close, but Im not sure what the keeper was doing, came for it stopped and seemed to sit down instead of punching the ball.

Var is so far away from what it should have been mate, it’s a joke.

Re-reffing every single call wasn’t what I signed up for.

There is nothing clear and obvious when VAR gets involved now, and the handballs are completely shambolic.

Offsides are getting better because they have gone semi-automated, think I’d sooner have ai officials than the bent ones we’ve got now.

 

[Connor]

No shots so far against this backline is so so poor

Rodgers well and truly out of ideas

….Rangers much improved and easily the better team in that half, surprises me after recent performances. Celtic fortunate to go in 0-0.

….i’d have thought that’s exactly what VAR is for

If it’s the right decision then it’s the right decision, even if it spoils the romance a bit

The attacker used to have the advantage. An arm in an offside position is (imo) a nonsense. I accept that under the current rules, he is offside. My view is that the rules are wrong.

Pub league standard, very alarming for Scottish football

 

[larbert toffee]

Celtic out of ideas, this is one of the worst old firm games I have seen for some time.
Both sides missing a maverick player to spark the game into life.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Poor match. Rangers have had the best of it but that's not saying much.

 

[Mozza1987]

These teams would struggle in League One. So poor

Sadly it does seem to be what VAR is all about, Alan

Not really a fan. Clearly there are fans but how does it survive financially? Really aren't really any huge clubs are there? Is there much call for broadcast rights either?

This is my original comment and I started this thread. This is yonks old but still very much relevant today.
