Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin expressed his disagreement with the VAR decision that disallowed a goal in their recent match against Hibernian. He emphasized that there was no clear and conclusive evidence of a handball by striker Sam Dalby, which led to the goal being ruled out. Goodwin highlighted the importance of adherence to the 'clear and obvious' error rule in VAR usage. Following a meeting with Scottish FA's Willie Collum, Goodwin reiterated that the decision to disallow the goal was not in line with the rules, insisting they believed the goal should have counted.
I said after the game if somebody showed me an angle that proved my statement after the game was wrong then I would apologise, but I stand by everything that I said.
There isn't a conclusive angle that shows there was any handball and therefore we believe the goal should have stood and it should have put us 2-1 up in a very important game.
The VAR can only intervene with an on-field decision if they have got significant footage that shows there was a clear and obvious error and I think from the audio - and from the video angles that we have seen - there is no suggestion of a hand ball within the Sam Dalby goal.
To disallow a goal the way it was disallowed on Wednesday night with no real conclusive evidence is not within the rules - it is as simple as that.
