The FoH, made up of Hearts supporters, are the majority shareholders in the club.
In his statement on behalf of the foundation, Mallon congratulated Hearts and manager Derek McInnes “on their outstanding achievements in this momentous season”.
And he said: “We have, however, been extremely concerned by a number of refereeing and VAR decisions across the last two rounds of fixtures, which have had a significant impact on outcomes for Hearts and others.
“That this has occurred at such a crucial stage of the season is particularly disappointing. We understand that the club shares these concerns and has made representations to the football authorities seeking clarification on recent decisions.”
In Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Motherwell, Hearts had two penalty claims turned down, the second one even after referee Steven McLean had gone to the monitor for review. Hearts manager Derek McInnes raised the incident with head of refereeing Willie Collum and was “satisfied” Collum “was in agreement” with the Tynecastle club.
In Sunday’s 3-1 home win for Celtic over Rangers, the hosts’ Alistair Johnston was booked for a first-half challenge on Mikey Moore, with some pundits suggesting it should have been a red card. Rangers head coach Danny Rohl indicated this week the club would be raising that and Celtic’s first goal with the authorities, with Rohl citing a similar incident in Rangers’ December win over Motherwell in which the Ibrox side had a goal disallowed for offside.
Mallon added: “At a time when Scottish football is subject to heightened scrutiny, both nationally and internationally, it is important that confidence in officiating standards is maintained.
“We therefore call on those responsible for the officiating of Saturday’s match [at Celtic Park] to ensure that the highest standards of decision-making are applied, so that the game is decided by the players on the pitch and the team is given the fair opportunity it has earned.”
