"MICKY Mellon insists Hibernian’s second goal at Hampden was so far offside that it should not even factor into the debate on whether Video Assistant Referees should be introduced in Scottish football.
The Dundee United boss is still fuming that Christian Doidge was allowed to put Jack Ross’ team 2-0 up in Saturday’s Scottish Cup semi-final.
The Welshman was clearly two yards ahead of the Tangerines backline as he ran on to Martin Boyle’s pass to score.
The decision by referee Bobby
Madden and his assistants to award the goal has sparked fresh calls for VAR to be introduced in the Scottish game.
But Mellon insists the officials should have spotted Doidge was well offside without the aid of a replay.
“I think that decision was so bad you didn’t need VAR,” he said. “That’s a linesman’s decision – Doidge is more than a body offside.
“It’s a big, big game, but that didn’t even need VAR. That would have wasted VAR’s time.
“VAR is for borderline, finger-nail stuff. That was a poor decision in a big game that gave us an awful lot to do to try to come back.”
Mellon admits he was left “devastated” as the final whistle killed of hopes of ending his first year at Tannadice with a trophy.
And he knows he needs to give his players time to come to terms with the disappointment too.
“You can’t flick it off and on like a switch,” he said ahead of Wednesday’s Premiership clash with Motherwell. “You need to give them time to recover.”"
**** off you girning Jute prick. "Decisions even themselves out" apparently (aye, right), so just tell that lead-swinging idle shagbag that his big girlie bitch-slap at the ball during our first encounter with your dregs, that he cost you dearly last weekend.
Wanchors.
Nae like you to disagree with the jutes.
He was only a yard an a half offside.
Where he was, of course correct, is that this incident should not be used to introduce that abortion of a system that they have down south.

Oh dear.
What a pity.
Never mind.

To be fair, if the officials had correctly disallowed that goal, as they should, then the pikey jute minks would have only have been knocked out of the cup by one goal instead of the 2 goal margin. In such a scenario, come next May, they could have arranged a celebratory anniversary dinner for only losing by one goal again. It would appear the pjms do love celebrating their defeats. I don't think they have been able to complete the clean sweep yet of losing all the tournaments they have entered by one goal - usually get nowhere near second in a league - but what a triumph it would be for them
