Dundee fan voice: 'Hard done by on offside call, but didn't do nearly enough to win'
I should be writing about two sensational volleys from Antonio Portales. Instead I'm forced to vent about VAR. Saturday started so promisingly when it looked like Portales had scored a second worldie of a volley just before half-time. However, in Scottish football we can't have nice things, so the goal was ruled out for a bizarre offside call. Clark Robertson, for me, did not interfere with play and his sin was merely existing in an offside position. Dominic Thompson goes to clear the ball regardless of what the Dundee defender is up to – and thus Robertson's actions clearly had no impact on Portales' finish. Even if one were to make the argument he moved towards the ball and that's enough for an offside offence to be considered, that would imply that if Robertson had taken a half step 30 degrees to each side instead then it's suddenly alright? Nonsense. It's no wonder all pundits are unanimous on this being an awful decision from VAR, maybe even the worst one seen all season. Had the goal stood, no one would have been calling for it to to be disallowed. On one hand, at 2-0 up the dynamic of the game completely changes if the second goal stands. Dundee have command of the game, a healthy lead at home. On the other hand, Dundee didn't do nearly enough to win the game in the second half, particularly when Motherwell went down to 10 men. So Dundee were viciously hard done by from poor officiating and also performed abysmally in the second half, both things can be true. In the end, Motherwell were worthy winners and Dundee once again found a way to lose a game by surrendering a lead they should never have lost. We should be going to Rugby Park with a weight off our shoulders, but we could potentially slump back to 11th this weekend. The pressure is ramping up as we are within touching distance of Ross County in the relegation play-off. It's three cup finals for Dundee, we simply can't afford anymore stale performances like that second half against Motherwell.
