The Video Assistant Referee or VAR has been trialed at the recent Confederations Cup and with much success.

The technology isn’t for every little gripe on the field, it is for the major incidents and the technology whilst being a little time consuming got the incidents right in the end.

Speaking about its eventual use in the FIFA World Cup President Gianni Infantino said:

“Thanks to the VAR we have achieved a great thing which is that big mistakes are corrected and so the tournament sees more justice on the pitch. It’s a test so we still need to work on some details – on the communication and on the speed of decisions,” he said.

“When it comes to decisions which leave room for interpretation there will always be discussions but big mistakes will be corrected which is a great achievement. We have put it finally in place and we are very happy with that.”

“Without VAR, we would have had a different tournament and it would have been a little less fair. Thanks to VAR, we have achieved a great thing. Those big mistakes will not happen any longer. It will always be the referee who decides and there will always be discussions, but big mistakes will be corrected and that is a great achievement after it was asked for so many years.”

So why not try it in the home of honest mistakes, Scotland.

If there is one team on earth plagued by them then it must be our own Famous Glasgow Celtic.

Famous for being robbed far too many times, so why not use the Hoops as a guinea pig.

So I pose the question:
