BLASTING RESPONSE “It’s a bad decision” : BBC man puts SFA Chief Executive Ian Maxwell straight on how VAR has let Celtic down

Video Assistant Referee (VAR) is a contentious and divisive topic in Scottish football, causing frustration not only among Celtic supporters but also within the Celtic team itself. Since his return to Parkhead, manager Brendan Rodgers has been on the receiving end of multiple unfair VAR decisions that have had a significant impact on match outcomes. The inconsistencies and inaccuracies of VAR have been a source of constant debate and controversy in Scottish football, with SFA Chief Executive Ian Maxwell facing scrutiny for the mistakes made by officials using this technology.

During a recent interview with the BBC, Ian Maxwell found himself at the center of criticism from former players and pundits, including Rory Loy, who pointed out a specific incident during the Hibs vs Celtic match where VAR failed to correct an erroneous call. Loy argued that human error has become increasingly prevalent in crucial moments this season, leading to questionable decisions by VAR that have affected the flow and outcome of matches.

The Hibs vs Celtic controversy was just one example of the many instances where VAR has fallen short when it comes to making accurate judgments in favor of Celtic. Unclear penalty calls being overturned, goals being disallowed due to dubious decisions, and crucial match-defining moments being misinterpreted by VAR have all contributed to the skepticism and disillusionment surrounding the technology.

Despite its implementation with the intention of improving the accuracy and fairness of game-changing decisions, VAR has repeatedly failed to meet the expectations of Celtic supporters and fans. The inconsistency and unreliability of VAR in Scottish football have only served to fuel the ongoing debate about its effectiveness and impact on the integrity of the game. Until significant improvements are made, Celtic supporters will continue to question and criticize the role of VAR in shaping the outcomes of matches in their club’s favor.
