VAR was in the headlines again this week after Scott McTominay had an effort disallowed against Spain.
I have a slightly embarrassing admission to make - for several years now I've been an advocate of VAR in ScottishThe idea of using video technology to assist referees in their decision-making always felt like it should be an idea that would work. Yes, there's been opposition to bringing it in - but let's face it, there's always resistance to change in this thrawn, conservative with a small c nation of ours.
Eventually, though, you have to look at the body of evidence and face the truth. VAR's adoption simply isn't working and has ultimately been detrimental to the game. Fans are often left in stadiums scratching their heads and wondering what's going on, often for minutes at a time. Players don't celebrate in the moment as they used to, looking first at the referee for a thumbs up that each goal review is finished without finding fault.
Of course, it's all very well to have changed my mind but what can be done? Pandora's box is, after all, very much open. Of the 30 major European Leagues, only Sweden remains a defiant VAR holdout. If Scotland was to reject its further use in the SPFL, we'd still have to deal with it in European games andfixtures. The answer is bigger than our little country's top flight.
