Brassed-off St Mirren chiefs took a swipe at VAR and revealed the SFA referee department agree the video assistants missed a potential handball penalty in Tuesday night’s draw at Ross County.
The Paisley club took their protests to Hampden in the wake of the controversy after Staggies defender Ryan Leak was seen to clearly handle a cross into the box in the first half.
Referee Chris Graham failed to spot the infringement but to the Buddies horror a VAR review also failed to point the whistler to an on-field review.
It later emerged the video assistants had only checked for a shirt pull in the incident and not handball. St Mirren took their case to Hampden and a statement read: “St Mirren can confirm it has spoken to the Scottish Football Association’s Referee Department regarding the decision not to check for a penalty after a handball in Tuesday night’s draw with Ross County. “The club believes VAR made an error by not recommending an On-Field Review following a handball by a Ross County defender in the first-half.
