Goldson back on the wagon as ‘honest mistake’ denies Aberdeen penalty

After John Beaton safely awarded Kilmarnock a penalty at Ibrox on December 2 the wheels are back on with Connor Goldson still immune from the penalty decisions that go against every defender in the country.

This time last season there was an almost weekly appearance of Goldson’s Law as all sorts of excuses were trotted out for Scotland’s top referees, assisted by VAR refusing to award a penalty against Micky Beale’s side.

Goldson was badly caught out for Aberdeen’s equaliser scored by Bojan Miovsky in the 45^th minute but things could have been much worse for the former Shrewsbury starlet when he was caught out once again.

If I was the Aberdeen owner/chairman I’d be releasing a statement and demanding they release the audio.

Aberdeen’s Dante Polvara used his shoulder to knock the ball forwards in the goalmouth, typically Goldson had his right arm raised which just happened to stop the path of the ball, a scramble then followed with Goldon falling to the ground using his arm again to deflect in to Jack Butland.

Don Robertson had a clear view of the incident but knew the consequences of a late equaliser at Ibrox, on VAR duty Greg Aitken is as well briefed as his colleague Andrew Dallas.

Beaton’s penalty award for Kilmarnock ended a 74 match, 23 month run without a penalty being awarded against the 2012 Tribute Act.
