St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson expressed doubts over the accuracy of VAR after seeing two more goals disallowed for offside.
But the Northern Irishman admitted his side had ultimately come up short in a 3-0 defeat by Hibernian.
Saints had seen two goals disallowed for contentious interpretations of the offside law in their three previous William Hill Premiership matches, as well as losing two players to red cards following reviews.
This time the decisions were made by “factual” calls by video assistant Andrew Dallas but they were no less frustrating for the home side.
Marginal calls denied Marcus Fraser an early headed opener – after he was ruled to have been just in front of the cross from Keanu Baccus – and prevented Dan Nlundulu claiming an impressive equaliser inside 60 seconds of the second half.
Robinson said: “We equalise, we go in front, it changes the game completely, so whether they’re onside or not you hope VAR’s got it right. Which would be a surprise to be fair.
“I haven’t seen anything back. I got told there was two sets of lines drawn for the first goal. One that looked like the ball hadn’t been played forward, which means he’s onside.
“Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know. But if it is, I find it incredible. They made that judgement call that it’s offside.”
Robinson added: “But I can only control the things that we can control.
“I thought Hibs deserved to win because they kept delivering balls in the box, they kept winning second balls, which allowed them to express themselves. I didn’t think we did.
“I didn’t think we won enough second balls, not enough deliveries into the box at times.”
St Mirren were ultimately well beaten thanks to goals from Josh Mulligan, Chris Cadden and Miguel Chaiwa to leave them in 10th place after taking just a point from five league games.
Hibernian moved back up to third in the table with their first win over St Mirren in eight meetings.
Head coach David Gray said: “This is always a real test. It’s the one team that as a manager I hadn’t beaten domestically.
“Last season they were always really tight games and this season the first league game was really tight.
“And I fully expected it to be the same again. And it would have been had it not just been for big moments at big times.
“Football is very fine margins. So if you think about the last few weeks, I’ve been saying how fine margins have maybe not quite gone for us.
“So huge moments went for us. I think the players have deserved that for what they’ve put in, and then the level of performance I thought was very high.”
