Malky Mackay, the manager of Ross County, hopes that real discussions concerning the use of VAR in Scottish football take place this summer, but he is concerned that they may be too late for his team.
When Calum Butcher tackled Connor Randall at Fir Park on Saturday moments before George Harmon was about to shoot, referee Euan Anderson promptly blew the whistle, frustrating Mackay's team.
And 10 minutes into stoppage time, in-form Motherwell striker Kevin van Veen scored the sole goal thanks to Keith Watson's handball penalty, which maintained County in the sure-fire bottom two of the Premiership.
The situation "seems to have lost common sense," he remarked.
"We had someone skim a pinkie against us at Dundee United; it was outrageous. We had one against us when we played Celtic that skimmed a shoulder, but nobody made a claim.Due to an appeal in the Champions League that wasn't even considered, the standard has been raised in Europe.
"But here, they consistently reverse course after the referee checks the monitor. Nobody is claiming to have witnessed the change while it is being made.There ought to be internal discussions between the referees, the supervisors, and the SFA, in my opinion. Every week, people talk about the reputations of the referees.
Prior to the penalty, County was creeping out of the danger zone, but they have an opportunity to benefit from Dundee United and Kilmarnock's matchup on Wednesday, while County hosts St. Johnstone.
Motherwell, who will meet County at Rugby Park the following Sunday, may play a significant role in determining who is eliminated.
Since the split, the Steelmen have already defeated Kilmarnock, and manager Stuart Kettlewell is pleased to see his team uphold their standards.
"I would never want someone to say about me or the club that we have let up and are now trying to swan around a football ground and think we are entitled to something in this game.
