‘Not enough evidence’ to overturn Miller goal

Must read

Lennon Miller’s second goal for Motherwell against St Mirren in September stood after being reviewed for a possible handball, and Scottish FA head of referees Willie Collum said the VAR officials were “unable to find the evidence to be categorical” about a foul.

Later in the same game, Well’s Dan Casey handled the ball on the goal-line to deny Killian Phillips a goal and was shown a straight red.

Mark O’Hara had the resulting penalty saved in the 2-1 defeat.

“In our opinion, this is the correct call,” said Collum. “It’s a very good piece of teamwork between the assistant referee and the referee.

“There’s nothing there for the VAR to think that the referee has made an error there in terms of showing a red card.”
