Dermot Gallagher believes Kemar Roofe's goal should have stood, according to former referee Dermot Gallagher, appearing this morning on Sky Sports Ref Watch to review some of the weekend's more contentious refereeing incidents.
He expresses surprise that Celtic was granted a ruling at Ibrox when Cyriel Dessers dispossessed Gustaf Lagerbielke; instead, he believes referee Don Robertson should have made the original call and upheld it.
Stopwatch
Use of a stopwatch during games is an indispensable requirement of coaches, yet too frequent requests of the referee for information about time remaining can quickly become irritating or disorganization can easily arise from too frequent queries about this matter. A good rule of thumb for asking about remaining time would be only once or twice during each game.

Mikel Arteta believes the new directive to curb time-wasting has only served to cause further confusion for players and managers. A stopwatch would help eliminate inconsistencies and ensure throw-in times remain accurate; Arteta points out the case of Takehiro Tomiyasu from Japan who was booked for taking 13 seconds too long at one throw-in during Arsenal's victory over Crystal Palace as an example.

Kemar Roofe thought he had given Rangers the lead against their Old Firm rivals on Sunday, only for it to be disallowed after VAR review. Cyriel Dessers stole possession from Gustaf Lagerbielke deep within Celtic territory before passing it off for Roofe to shoot home from a narrow angle. Unfortunately for Rangers fans however, Roofe could only claim his goal and was disqualified due to an incorrect goal call by VAR review.
Referee Don Robertson initially allowed Roofe's goal to stand, but was asked by Alan Muir to consult the pitchside monitor and eventually decided that Roofe had fouled Lagerbielke during its creation. Kyogo Furuhashi then scored to secure Celtic victory at Ibrox.
Ally McCoist, former Gers manager, believes this decision was incorrect and has voiced his opinion to BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsscene program on which Roofe's goal should have stood and stated Robertson had made the wrong call by changing his mind midway through.

Kemar Roofe thought he had given Rangers the lead against Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon but his goal was disallowed due to offside. Roofe was played into position by Cyriel Dessers after dislodging Gustaf Lagerbielke deep within Celtic territory.
The official then consulted his VAR screen and was informed that Dessers made contact with Hoops' newcomer. Subsequently, he reversed his original decision and awarded a free-kick to the away side.
Former grade one referees and commentators on Sky Sports Referee Watch were left shocked this morning after witnessing an unprecedented decision which sent shockwaves through both parties involved. All experts agreed that the original decision should have stood; explaining how fouls did not provide an advantage in play.
Robic
Kemar Roofe thought he had scored during the 28th minute of Sunday's Old Firm Derby at Ibrox after Cyriel Dessers dispossessed Gustaf Lagerbielke deep within Celtic territory, but referee Don Robertson called over to review and disallowed Roofe's goal after just 30 seconds of review by pitchside monitors - Kyogo later scored his winning goal and Celtic took all three points!
Robic insists the goal should have stood, wearing his black-and-red hat beneath a long coat to stay warm in the mountain air. As he rides past tiny stone villages and ascends hills from which he can glimpse Adriatic blue waters, his furious anger seems disproportionately great.
Robic serves as an assistant coach at Kentucky and is in charge of scouting opponents, such as West Virginia who will face them Thursday night in Louisville. But those close to him say his value goes far beyond numbers on a page.
