‘Andrew Dallas needs removed from every Aberdeen game’ ‘Wrong end of the pitch’ ‘Pattern of assistance continues…’ Dallas doubles down on Dons

After he passed his rehearsal at Pittodrie three weeks ago with flying colours Andrew Dallas was trusted with VAR duties at Hampden yesterday.

With Dave Cormack and Alan Burrows staying silent on the Connor Goldson penalty incident they effectively invited yesterday’s decisions as 19,000 Aberdeen fans travelled to Hampden hoping that their team had a fair crack at winning their first trophy in nine years, their first Hampden trophy in 33 years. They never stood a chance.

Stefan Gartenmann was involved in incidents in both matches, at Pittodrie he pulled Goldson’s jersey inside the penalty box, at Hampden Todd Cantwell pulled on his jersey for a few seconds.

Dallas saw the two similar incidents differently, at the start of November there were three pulls on Celtic shirts in the penalty box at Ross County, Dallas didn’t refer referee David Munro to the pitchside monitor to review either of them.

As they made their way back from Hampden Aberdeen fans expressed their anger about the decisions and the repeat appointment of Dallas.

It is highly unlikely that Cormack or Burrows will rock the boat by presenting evidence and asking questions.

Frustrated Dons fans will know how Celtic supporters feel, when Michael Nicholson and Peter Lawwell were asked about refereeing issues and the SFA they cracked jokes in reply

After yesterday’s performance Dallas is favourite for the VAR role in the December 30 Glasgow Derby, the other contenders know the standard required.
