Fuming Tony Docherty reckons referee Grant Irvine blundered against his Dundee team because Mo Sylla should never have been red card as they collapsed late on against Kilmarnock.
Docherty didn’t think his midfielder should have got a second yellow card for a first half challenge on Matty Kennedy that left the Killie player needing stitches The second booking meant VAR couldn’t intervene and Docherty has insisted that is the second big call Irvine has made against his team. Head of referees Willie Collum called the Dundee manager last month to say Irvine was wrong not to award them a penalty at Ross County.
“Matty comes from there, and I've had a conversation with Matty as well, and he agrees. There was no intent, no recklessness and it should not result in a red card, which massively affected the game.” The Dundee boss added: “I’ve got to say that the game was massively affected by a decision by the referee again. The referee that we had previous weeks that again had made a decision, a wrong decision up at Ross County which was concurred by the supervisor.
