MALKY MACKAY reckons Scottish VAR techies are acting like robots.
The Ross County boss is hoping for a more human touch in the final weeks fo the season with his side in the thick of the fight for safety in the Premiership.
Mackay’s men were hit with another controversial VAR call in their 3-1 win at Dundee United when the cameras picked up a marginal handball by Staggies man Josh Sims.
The spot-kick didn’t deny County a win but Mackay said: “ You can’t jump without moving your arms.
“I spoke to SFA ref chief Crawford Allan earlier in the season concerning the Alex Iacovitti penalty against Celtic and they were saying, rightly, it’s the rule that’s causing the issue. I think the bar in Scotland for common sense is way lower than in England right now.
“There is common sense with other rules. For example, there is a rule that the goalkeeper should only have the ball in his hands for seven seconds.
