Former referee Mike Dean was stunned that Scotland have been denied a ‘clear penalty’ following Willi Orban’s problem on Stuart Armstrong.
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean instructed Sky Sports activities Information:
“I used to be a bit stunned if I used to be being trustworthy, there was a little bit of a tangle firstly however it’s a transparent foul, a transparent knee on the again of the calf.
“I assumed the referee was going to provide a foul in actual time, it simply felt prefer it to everybody watching the sport. I used to be much more stunned the VAR did not get entangled.
“I feel the VAR would have gotten concerned, he is most likely checked out it and the referee’s given some sort of rationalization, perhaps a tangle of legs or the attacker’s instigated the contact.
“However no matter manner you take a look at it, it is a clear penalty. They might have checked out it, and the VAR simply agreed with the referee – wrongly in my view, in everybody’s opinion by the sounds of it.
“Scotland defended properly and had possibilities. In the event that they went 1-0 up, I could not see Hungary scoring a objective with how they defended for the remainder of the sport.
“It is simply a kind of issues. I used to be astounded it wasn’t given. The referee’s most likely seen a tangle, but when I used to be an attacker and I get throughout a defender and really feel contact, you count on a penalty to both be given by the referee, the assistant or by VAR.
“The referees are at that match for a motive, they’re the most effective in Europe or in South America in his case. You are there to make the massive calls, guys have made massive calls all competitors; that is the primary one, other than Anthony Taylor’s towards France on Friday, the place we’re speaking in regards to the referee and the VAR.”
