Kris Commons has backed Matt O’Riley over his call on strange decisions following Celtic’s 2-1 victory over Ross County.
The hoops fell behind on Saturday to a bizarre penalty decision by David Munro, the fourth penalty awarded against Celtic since VAR was introduced to the SPFL.
O’Riley was a yard away from his opponent, the ball struck his hip then arm with Munro’s decision supported by VAR Euan Anderson without the need to check the pitch-side monitor.
That decision infuriated the Celtic support, the fall out would have been much more severe if David Turnbull and Sead Haksabanovic hadn’t turned the game around with goals within 20 minutes of the visitors going in front.
The SFA now have five weeks to sort out their dodgy integration of VAR into the game with Commons telling Daily Mail readers that the officials have got it all wrong:
Were Scottish refs really missing a glut of justifiable handball penalties before the system was introduced? I’m not sure they were, but now you can barely go a round of matches without one being awarded.
On the previous weekend, Celtic were punished for the ball hitting Alexandro Bernabei on his trailing arm. Then we had three VAR handball penalties in Livingston’s midweek win over Aberdeen. And another one on Saturday when Matt O’Riley was penalised to give Ross County the lead at Parkhead.
David Munro took that decision and it was upheld by VAR. But O’Riley was bang-on when he said he didn’t know what else he could have done with his body or the position of his arm.
Since VAR was introduced there hasn’t been a single comment or explanation from the SFA other than confirming that there was a camera issue during Celtic’s 2-1 win over Motherwell in midweek. The confession came 36 hours after the match ended.
There’s on thing coming out of all this they can’t cry themselves professionals
