Ex-Referee Roache Clears Iheanacho’s Dundee Winner of Any Foul

Ex-Referee Roache Clears Iheanacho’s Dundee Winner of Any Foul

Former referee Des Roache insists Kelechi Iheanacho’s winning goal against Dundee was perfectly legitimate. Some argued the striker pushed defender Astley in the build-up, and a still image even showed two hands on the back of the centre-back. In a recent interview with a leading Scottish paper, Roache dismissed all claims of a foul. He said the contact was minimal and well within the rules, so VAR had no reason to intervene. Iheanacho’s strike keeps Celtic firmly in the title chase and ends the debate over the decisive moment.

Roache's reasoning looks solid, though I still feel that goal's tight enough to spark debate.

Even with a clear snapshot showing two hands on Astley, Roache insists the strike was entirely legitimate.

I'm not convinced the contact was fair; physical play like that often alters balance more than officials admit.

Clubs should study every replay angle before questioning referees to prevent premature criticism in future match discussions.
