About the Blog

Hello and welcome to 'VAR Check in Progress'! I am a third-year undergraduate student at the University of Strathclyde and as part of my Marketing degree I have been tasked to create a blog on a topic of my choice. Being an avid lover of football all my life it felt only right for the it to be centred around the beautiful game; so here we go! 🤝

As you will be able to gather from the genius title, this blog will delve into the major talking points and controversies that have come with the creation of VAR (Video Assistant Referee). By looking back at key elite level matches in the past where VAR has been in operation and put in man of the match performances, if you will, the blog will establish the key pros and cons of VAR.

Then after reminiscing on these monumental moments in 'modernised' football, an opinion from myself will be given (in my final post) on what the impact of VAR will have on football and whether having it within the game will ultimately improve or destroy it for the millions of players and fans across the globe.

VAR in Scottish Football?

This blog post concerns a topic very close to my heart and one that has been part of my life since I can remember; Scottish football. I have, along with my old man, supported Kilmarnock FC and been a season ticket holder since I was a wee guy! (4 years old). I have travelled across the country and have experienced every emotion under the sun (and snow) supporting Kilmarnock. From beating Celtic in the final of the 2012 league cup, qualifying for Europe under Steve Clarke and heartbreakingly, only last season, being relegated to the dreaded championship (2nd tier of Scottish football). So, as you can probably guess, I will be giving my humble opinion on the effects that VAR will have on Scottish football and whether or not it will improve the beautiful game over here - as it seems only inevitable that it will be introduced in the coming years. The reason Scottish football has not introduced VAR already is that the Scottish FA simply couldn't afford it. I feel this came as a blessing...

The Pros of VAR

Hello and welcome back to the 'VAR Check in Progress' blog. This post, as promised, is all about the pros of VAR. The Premier League were on the phone asking me to focus on the positives as there was talks it was getting scrapped after the last post; so here it goes. The standout positive from VAR is the elimination of human error and thereby the allowance for better decision making to be made in matches. Pre-VAR, the monumental pressure of making the correct decisions in a game relied solely on the officiating personnel and ultimately the referee. With the introduction of VAR, it relives the referee of this pressure  to an extent. It allows them to take a minute (or 5) to look at the footage and make a more informed decision. Before, the referee had a split second to do this, and they had to rely solely on their own judgement. In the past, during a game, there was no possible way for the referee to realise they had made made a mistake until they saw their face plastered acros...

The Cons of VAR

  In this deep dive into VAR and all of its impacts, I'm first going to go straight in studs-up at the major negatives I feel it brings to football. I hate to refer back to the 'good old days', like your gran saying she used to go to the shops with a couple pound and come back with the weeks shopping. However, it seems justified in order to understand, truly, how much VAR has changed the game. I think I don't speak alone here when I say that the idea of VAR is currently still better than how it is being executed. The idea is to eliminate the human errors of a referee and the other officiating staff. So that, ultimately, the match can run fairly and smoothly and for the outcome to be decided based on the merit of the respective teams rather than an unjust decision made by the referee. To an extent this is the case (which the next blog will cover) but there are still some major flaws present that are harming the game. The one that sticks out for me is how stop-start it ca...
