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
