    Killie into Europe next season. Let's hope we don't get the mighty Connah's Quay Nomads, who turfed us ahrt last time.

    Will you be able to stop Celtic getting the point to win the title for the 85th time?

    I'll give credit to both fans of Celtic and Rangers, to virtually sell out each home game for usually inevitable wins is incredible.
    The passion they, and all other fans in Scotland have, is much greater than in England.
    I have been to around 25 grounds up there and can vouch for how partisan it is.

    Sounds as though Novax might have been concussed.
    If so, the medics who advise him should be asked whether they cleared him to play that match he just lost in under an hour.

    The Premier League to vote on scrapping VAR next month. It should be 20-0 in favour of binning it. A no brainer.

    Agreed. The Wolves proposal is spot on.
    VAR takes away one of the greatest things about watching football - being able to instantly enjoy celebrating a goal.
    Granted fans always used to look to the linesman for a few seconds.
    But waiting around for three or four minutes is utterly ridiculous.

    Of course the Premier League organisation and the referees want to keep it. Because it puts them and their jobsworth pals in charge.
    Brilliant goals being disallowed by some pasty faced nerd in front of a computer because the tip of someone's elbow might have been offside.
    F**king risible.

    VAR is the ultimate expression of nit-picking officiousness being put before the good of the greatest sport ever invented.
    All the suits with vested interests should be ashamed of themselves.

    VAR is not fit for purpose. It stills requires humans to make a decision and humans can be wrong. I think they should drop it like a red hot stone. I am so pleased that we don't have it.

    Part of the joy of football is “the referee is a w anker”

    Careful mate, that is far too optimistic.

    As long as the owner he's talking about doesn't do a Kevin Cash.
