Right, I’m going to go out on a limb and say this guy will not be invited back onto Sportsound anytime soon.
As VAR hits the headlines once more, the microscope of the media descends once more and as we look at the decisions over the weekend, Jim McInally was clearly fed up with the new technology as he made this claim on live radio.
Speaking on BBC Sportsound, McInally said, “I pay my money. I’ve got season tickets for for Celtic and I would like to know how many people in Scotland, the paying public, actually want VAR.
“Because, for me, everybody thought it was going to define the game and and get everything right.
“And it’s not just in Scotland.
“I mean if you watch English football as well, it’s not nearly getting it right and as it’s just taking away the spectacle of the game.
“I’ve been to five games on the trot here where every time Celtic score a goal there is a VAR check.
“And it just takes away from the whole show.”
I was also at the St Mirren game at Celtic Park when we won 4-0 and it seemed at the time that the VAR officials were actively looking for reasons to chop off the goals rather than use it for it’s purpose.
To spot clear and obvious errors.
The whole system is a joke and requires an overhaul. That and impartial referees but we all know that’s not going to happen.
