VAR turns a blind eye to Connor Goldson six yard line push against Ross County

With virtually no mainstream coverage given to James Tavernier’s handball at Aberdeen that saw the ball knocked onto the post one incident at Dingwall last night will be buried before the Christmas wrappings.

Leading by 1-0 is always a delicate scoreline, four minutes into the second half a dangerous high ball was launched across the visitors six yard line, similar to Tavernier at Aberdeen and James Sands at home to Hibs.

Connor Goldson recognised the danger, he had his arm around his opponent as the ball passed, fearing a quick turn the former Brighton defender made certain by pushing the Ross County player to the ground.

Referee Don Robertson decided not to view it and was backed up by VAR David Munro.

Last month Munro couldn’t point to the penalty spot quickly enough when a Ross County player kicked the ball against Matt O’Riley with the ball bouncing from his thigh to arm.
