Breaking News: Rangers was involved in five of the rulings, and Clement discusses the 13 mistakes that SFA VAR brought about.
After Rangers were involved in FIVE wrong calls, Philippe Clement has responded to the conclusions of the SFA’s independent VAR review panel.
Following the revelation that the panel had ruled 13 decisions from the second round of Premiership fixtures to be incorrect, the SFA issued a statement yesterday. Ross McCausland’s penalty win against Livingston was ruled to be erroneous, Jose Cifuentes shouldn’t have been sent off against Dundee, and John Souttar should not have conceded a penalty against Kilmarnock. The Gers were on both sides of these rulings.
Once more, Alistair Johnston’s handling inside his own area and the SFA’s handling of Celtic vs. Gers on December 30 were the main talking points.
Clement has responded to the report, but he maintains that it should not be discussed further because it is all in the past.
“To be honest, I didn’t see the list because it’s outdated,” he stated. As you are aware, I’ve told you guys numerous times in the past that I live for the now and the future. However, openness is a good thing, and it’s crucial that when mistakes are made, people communicate so that we can all grow from them.
“If I make mistakes, it still applies. Transparency and open communication are crucial for football, and I believe referees and managers should communicate more—even if it’s only twice or three times a season outside of games.
The only conversation going on right now is about gaming, which is also the source of all the stress. Discussions regarding football regulations and past events, possibly from months prior, can be fascinating. should have courteous conversations in a way that allows for everyone to express their opinions and reduces miscommunication. Reach a higher level of football, just like this weekend.
“And I mean genuinely both sides that managers can discuss about an incident that occurred during a game that you don’t know why it happened. The referees have the authority to comment on both manager behavior and game play, and we must explain to our players why judgments are made after the fact. I received a yellow card for kicking away a water bottle during the last game because I was acting a little too erratically. I see why I received a yellow, but managers can also learn if we can have an honest conversation later.”
