So Near Yet So VAR

with Bobby Madden

Twenty years with a whistle. 1,000+ matches. Countless VAR arguments.

You’ve heard the media spin, you've heard the fan theories, and you've seen the weekend chaos. Now, it's time for the definitive professional verdict.

I’m launching my brand new weekly podcast: So Near Yet So VAR.

No corporate SFA filters. No dodging the hard questions. Every single week, I’m giving you a direct, honest breakdown of the biggest refereeing and VAR decisions across Scottish football and Europe—inside 15 minutes.

Don't just shout at the television. Know the laws of the game.

Episodes drop Monday mornings.
