When Andrew Dallas sees a Celtic jersey pulled against Ross County he decides to keep it to himself, not to inform match referee David Munro.
Watching yesterday’s match at Pittodrie the eagle-eyed VAR was all over a similar incident involving Connor Goldson. Strangely after Stefan Gartenmann let go if his jersey the legs went from the former Shrewsbury star with Walsh having a clear view of the full incident.
After a few words from the son of Hugh Dallas he was over at the monitor, soon pointing to the penalty spot and no doubt earning a cheer or two back at work this morning at Boclair Academy.
Nick Walsh your ref for this one earlier in the season. https://t.co/DiafJFiAUY

Earlier this season Walsh wasn’t so keen to point to the penalty spot when Chris Kane was wrestled to the ground by Tom Lawrence.
On that occasion there was no shirt pull, Lawrence wrapped both arms around Kane to obstruct his run to the ball from a corner. On that occasion there was no prompting by the VAR to review the foul.
With his side’s only domestic rivals on a run of 68 SPFL matches without conceding a penalty, Michael Nicholson was cracking jokes about that stat at last week’s club AGM.

sevco has gone 68 games without one of their players conceding a penalty , 68 games that not one of their players has pulled the shirt of an opponent in the box ,
Shouldn’t be to long now before the bookies catch on to the cheating and no longer includ odds for sevco to get penalty,as there are certainly no penalties given against the new klub from ibrox.
If the chances of sevco or their opponents getting a penalty in a game were the same, on the
“Balance of Probabilities”
the chances of sevco getting 68 for in a row, with none against would be one in a trillion. That is 1/000 000 000 000 000 000.
It would be the equivalent of tossing a coin 68 times and it coming down heads, (or tails), sixty eight times in a row.
Wow!
Nicholson and Co can joke about it at agms, but reality is they don’t anything to stop the cheating. They accept the Beatons, Dallas’s etc. Clubs in Scotland need leaders who will lead
