Martin O’Neill is of the view VAR is “debilitating” for officials on the pitch as he branded the Scottish FA process for appealing against decisions “worthless”.<\/b><\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Celtic lost their bid to have Auston Trusty’s red card against Hibernian overturned.<\/p>\n
A club statement was critical of the ruling and called for an urgent review of VAR use, complaining that “VAR again decided to intervene to ‘re-referee’ an initial decision”.<\/p>\n
Trusty was dismissed after a review of his chop on the arm of Jamie McGrath, while the pair tussled at a corner kick, leaving veteran manager O’Neill perplexed.<\/p>\n
“I did the interview after the game and someone asked me if we were going to appeal it and I thought I’m really not sure about it, the appeals in this day and age are seemingly worthless,” he said.<\/p>\n
“But when I get the info back from the club at what has been said in VAR I thought yeah, absolutely, because the referee has seen the incident, it’s not like he hasn’t seen it.<\/p>\n
“And then you’ve got a very excited man on VAR saying ‘delay, delay, delay’ and they ask him and he says he’s going to have a word with the players.<\/p>\n
“Then he has to trot over to change his mind. It’s ridiculous.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
