Former referee Stuart Dougal has told critics of Graeme Shinnie's red card against Ross County to "move with the times" while Aberdeen launched an appeal.
The Dons claimed their sixth win on the bounce against Malky Mackay's relegation-threatened side as they continued their surge towards third in the Scottish Premiership, but the victory was marred by captain Shinnie's red card late in the game. Shinnie sent off for a challenge on Jack Baldwin after VAR Greg Aitken advised referee Euan Anderson to go to the monitor before the man in the middle deemed there was excessive force in the challenge.
Aberdeen boss Barry Robson fumed after full-time whistle as he insisted that Shinnie should not have seen red with the his player winning the ball and the club will now take the dispute to the SFA and appeal the call. However, Dougal BBC's 'The VARdict' that that didn't offer enough of a defence for the Aberdeen star to avoid his second sending off in as many games.
