With just 10 men, the South Korean was sent off for a risky challenge, and Celtic was also penalised for a questionable penalty call, which all but destroyed Rodgers’ hopes of winning at Tynecastle.
It’s hard to predict what Celtic will do next, but it’s safe to say that, given its current usage, VAR appears to be more harm than help.
While commentators and fans had their opinions regarding the decisions made throughout the game, talkSPORT host Alan Brazil went a step further.
Co-presenter Ally McCoist was taken aback by a joke that Brazil made about Tynecastle referee Don Robertson during Sunday’s game talk.
The discussion on this morning’s talkSPORT programme went as follows:
McCoist: “Take a look at last Saturday, when Celtic defeated Rangers at Tynecastle and Rangers lost to Motherwell at home.
“There will undoubtedly be turns and twists,” I believe.
Brazil: “The referee, huh, is man of the match?”
McCoist: “Aww, Alan, hold just a second! Come on, please!
Although Brazil was obviously making a lighthearted jab at the referee, many Celtic supporters would be able to relate to this remark.
VAR was added to the Scottish game in an attempt to cut down on errors, but it appears that more issues have arisen since its implementation.
And it’s not just the Celtic people that find it objectionable. Rangers, Aberdeen, Motherwell, and other SPFL teams have expressed their worries in recent months, and the SFA has to pay attention.
Since the game is being harmed by the product they are producing, member clubs and fans are not pleased.
