After losing to Celtic 2-0 on Wednesday night, Dundee sent further video to the SFA, voicing their displeasure with two crucial officiating calls.
The team thinks that the game’s outcome might have been greatly impacted by these incidences, which were not addressed during the game.
One of Dundee’s main points of disagreement is the sequence that resulted in Celtic’s penalty, which Arne Engels converted.
In the lead-up to the penalty call, Dundee argues that a foul on their player Mo Sylla—allegedly committed by Engels—was overlooked. Dundee contends that the play that resulted in Celtic’s penalty kick was started by this incident, which they think involved Sylla being tugged by his shirt.
According to The Courier, Dundee’s CCTV shows an additional angle showing Sylla’s shirt being pulled. We have the film form the event here:
You can understand Dundee’s frustration after seeing the incident replayed on Celtic TV. The referee appears to have a clear view of the alleged foul and does not believe it to be Engels’. Sylla’s response appears to be exaggerated, and it passes with ease.
VAR most likely considered the referee’s perspective, heard his thoughts in real time, and concluded that there was no glaring mistake.
