That’s your Tony Watt red card downgraded to a yellow, then.

Presumably what they showed on Alba with the big "VAR" logo was the footage that Beaton reviewed. In which case, it appeared to be being operated by somebody who'd never used any kind of video player before.

Rugby crowds are historically a bit less likely to come on the pitch and try to murder you, or key your car, or smash your windows later, I suppose.

With the (minimum) six cameras located where they are, there should be at least two cameras with a reasonable view of any incident, so it does seem unlikely. (If that's what has happened, though, we need to get our cameras sorted out pronto, if they can't do their one job.)

Yes.

To be pedantic (not like me I know), the VAR referee didn't award it, he just didn't overturn the one that had already been shown...

It's probably just my age, but I think I'd struggle to consider a league cup quarter final win against anyone to be famous.

That was the 35 yard line... you could only be offside between that and your opponent's goal. In later years it was where the one on one shootouts started, instead of penalty shootouts.

Much as I loathe them for many other reasons, "having a good laugh at other teams despite all the obvious failings of your own" pretty much describes any team's fans, not just the OF.

Diving is by definition cheating, so I'm not sure that would really help.

And then it was 3.

I’m on my holidays. Supposed to be flying home tonight but they’ve just cancelled my flight, so might still be on my holidays tomorrow too.

Some will have been, of course. But I doubt the wee bookshops and suchlike were told. Or the individual branches of Tesco while others are staying open.

All the pubs on the Isle of Man have closed for 24 hours. Certainly some shops and small businesses are doing likewise. https://twitter.com/TheMaltings/status/1568160108600868864 https://twitter.com/jodevizesbooks/status/1568149372734476289 https://twitter.com/andi_russell/status/1568155032041783299 https://www.theindustry.fashion/selfridges-and-liberty-among-stores-to-remain-closed-today-as-a-mark-of-respect-for-the-queen/ etc.

I mean, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do this time around as much as anyone, but in that clip he basically stands still, then hits a pass that everyone missed.

He was on the bench for the Livingston game.

We've had a fair few youth internationalists on loan from England over the years. How many of them do you remember making any impression at all?

Goal! KVV.

Looked as clear as you like from the angle behind the goals to me. Never touched his arm, but can see why the linesman would have thought it did.

Well, I write software for a living, and I'd find it quite complicated. But admittedly I'm not all that good

It actually is fairly complicated, given they have to take into account any slope on the pitch etc. https://www.premierleague.com/news/1488423 The SPFL system requires at least six manned cameras at each ground, fwiw. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11781/12593541/var-scottish-premiership-to-introduce-video-technology-after-crucial-vote

And scored a late equaliser to cancel out a goal from Danny Johnson.

Full time! Didn't see that coming.

Why didn't anyone shoot there?!

+6 minutes...
