@celtic_jaime She's a better magician than Paul Daniels. She can make flowers float. Another one from the AI collection. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@aitkengraeme @Ja76698James @TEnglishSport It's AI. That's only the 4,678th time Celtic fans have posted it now.

@JoshTaylorBoxer @martin_domin @BOX_COACH @ClonesCyclone @McGuigans_Gym @BenDavison_ @AmberKeano_x I see. I was looking at it from the outside, obviously only looking at it from the boxing side. Brilliant career...👍

[Allan bryce @Allanb67]

@DavidBryson1985 @alanrew2 It's not that difficult TBF. They seem to have some sort of beef with us. 🤔🤣

[Allan bryce @Allanb67]

Probably the best thing that could happen to Scottish football TBF....

BREAKING: Scottish referees hint they could go on STRIKE over 'abuse, intimidation, threats and pitch invasions'

VAR

I enthusiastically welcomed it. Was sold on the higher percentage of right decisions so we could all go home knowing football justice had been done and we could concentrate on which player was crap instead.

But I was wrong. Woefully and completely wrong.

Waiting 5 minutes for a decision to be made alone means the system isn't fit for purpose. Why? Because I sat with TV producers who said everything would be wrapped up in 10-30 seconds. It has literally taken the spontaneous joy from the most important part of the game. A goal.

Then, one thing completely blindsided me and many others.

Subjectivity.

I thought there would be science and a nailed on guarantee of a successfully and universally accepted decision. How wrong we were. Instead, arbitrary lines are drawn that simply can't with any certainty say whether a player is offside or not. So a human in a portacabin, 200 miles away only does what the referee can do, make a best guess.

Likewise handballs, dives, any penalty decision to be honest. A subjective decision decided out of stadium allowing an increasingly small and poor refereeing pool a get out of jail free card. Instead of them making a shit decision and owning it, they just pass it on 200 miles away so 3 men in a portacabin can make a shit decision instead. Lunacy.

For the love of the game, let's go back to investing in getting more referees, respecting them so that they join the trade and don't feel constantly abused. In short, treat them like rugby referees. Ultimate respect.

Then, fuck VAR off, it's ruined the game, made it petty and chaotic, and taken that one ingredient that you simply can't replace, instantaneous joy.

As a player and fan I accepted a referee making a bad decision in a game in the same way I accepted fucking up a shot or pass. We're all human.

Let's get back to that, humans doing their best, everyone walks away from the ground accepting that and less unrealistic pressure put on officials to be perfect when perfection doesn't exist in any walk of life.

VAR stinks. A system designed to help is a massive hindrance and it's about time pundits, fans, players, referees, clubs put pressure on authorities to get rid of it. We only need goal line tech, the rest can and should be refer refereed by humans making their best judgement. A best judgement that was over 98% right( audited fact pre VAR).

Enough is enough, fuck it off.

@daft_laddie Nice.....

[Allan bryce @Allanb67]

@HOMESofFOOTBALL It looks great, but wouldn't be allowed to happen. The diddy teams wouldn't get the same treatment as the arse cheeks.

[Allan bryce @Allanb67]

@Del1589 @andalg1 Exactly Del. No point in debating with them as they just don't have the ability to see it any other way. Stay clear.

[Allan bryce @Allanb67]

@camer0n_mcd I thoroughly agree. And until we get people that can operate it properly I would bin it. I can't stand the way Jason Cundy constantly downs the game in Scotland, but he was spot on during the week on talk sport. One camera angle isn't anywhere near enough.

[Allan bryce @Allanb67]

@celtic_thoughts @SPFLWatch Remember you got a penalty against Motherwell with 5 seconds to go. The game wasn't over at the time of the pitch invasion. Hypothetically, Hearts could have got a penalty with 5 seconds to go. I very much doubt that would have been the case though.
