Liam Fox reckons VAR wrecked Dundee United’s hopes of a moral boosting result against Hearts.
The Tannadice boss was fuming as Ryan Edwards was sent packing after ref Nick Walsh had another look at the defender’s full blooded challenge on Andy Halliday. United were 1-0 up at the time and they couldn’t hold out amid a second half Jambos onslaught as they slumped back to the bottom of the Premiership.
Fox said: “My initial reaction was that it’s a really, really good tackle so that’s disappointing. But I am really proud of my players. Their performance was really, really good. That might sound silly after losing the game 3-1 but they gave me absolutely everything. As a manager, that’s all I can ask for. I have seen it (red card) again and my opinion hasn’t changed. The referee said it was excessive force. I just thought it was a good tackle.
