David Gray’s VAR Verdict: Hibs Boss Weighs in on Celtic Controversy

The debate surrounding VAR’s decision to chalk off Daizen Maeda’s goal in Celtic’s defeat to Hibs continues to rage on. While Brendan Rodgers and many pundits have expressed their dismay at the call, Hibs boss David Gray has offered a differing opinion.

Speaking to Premier Sports after the match, Gray appeared to suggest that VAR made the correct decision, citing the fine margins involved in such calls. “I’m delighted the groundsman’s painted the line in a straight line this one and with the pitch the size it is, because it must be really close,” he said.

Gray’s comments have sparked a lively discussion among fans and pundits, with many questioning whether the VAR decision was indeed correct. While Gray acknowledges that his team benefited from the call, he also emphasizes the importance of luck in football.

“These are the breaks you need as well,” he said. “That’s very fine margins at this level. And then on another day, you get there a fraction earlier and the ball stays in. We can also defend it a lot better in that moment as well.”

Gray’s assessment of the situation is a nuanced one, recognizing that VAR decisions can often be subjective and influenced by a variety of factors. While some may disagree with his interpretation of the incident, his comments highlight the complexities involved in such calls.

The controversy surrounding VAR’s decision has also sparked a wider debate about the technology’s role in Scottish football. With Celtic having been on the receiving end of several VAR calls this season, some have questioned whether the system is working as intended.

As the discussion continues to unfold, one thing is clear: David Gray’s comments have added a fresh perspective to the debate. Whether or not one agrees with his assessment, his willingness to engage with the issue and offer a thoughtful analysis is a welcome addition to the conversation.

In the world of football, where opinions are often strongly held and emotions run high, Gray’s measured approach is a refreshing change. As the VAR debate continues to rage on, his comments serve as a reminder that, even in the most contentious of issues, there is often more to the story than meets the eye.
