UEFA have been called on to release audio recordings between match officials after a hugely controversial decision saw Scotland disallowed a potentially game-changing goal in their Euro qualifier against Spain.’s Alba Party pointed to a precedent set by the referee body PGMOL after similar controversy saw a Liverpool goal incorrectly disallowed in a Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the month.
Confusion reigned as referees said the goal was disallowed because of a foul by Jack Hendry on Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon, before later pivoting to say that it was because Hendry had been offside.Chris McEleny, the Alba Party’s general secretary, said: “This was a match of huge importance to hundreds of thousands of people in Scotland. For the game to have been settled in this manner leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many in Scotland.
Scotland needed one point to secure qualification to the Euros. But two late goals from Spain saw them leave defeated. “At the time we think it is a goal. You know when the referee gets told to look at it he is probably going to chalk it off. They have made the call, there is no point me going on about it.
