Stephen Robinson slams Hearts VAR penalty escape after 'soul destroying' St Mirren call

Stephen Robinson last night branded VAR soul destroying after another video ref flashpoint at Tynecastle.

The St Mirren boss was fuming at the decision not to ask ref David Munro to take another look at a late handball claim against Hearts defender Kye Rowles. The Jambos survived and hung on to claim a 1-0 win and move six points clear of Aberdeen in the race for third in a bad tempered clash where Robbie Neilson was sent to the stands.

But Robinson was left raging at another controversial handball call. He said: “I’ve been told it was a penalty and it was similar to other penalties that have been given recently. All we want is a bit of clarity. It’s not the referees’ fault. There are all these people sitting watching, but they are not calling the referee over. When you look at some of the penalties given, it’s incredible. I think the ruling is wrong, so it’s not just about my team.
