Dunfermline anger at Sone Aluko penalty
Steve Conroy- refereeing his first Rangers game in over a year- pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation with Nikita Jelavic converting to put Rangers two goals in front.
Joe Cardle pulled a goal back for the visitors two minutes later but with the game ending 2-1 Conroy’s honest mistake was the difference between the teams.
“It’s never a penalty in a month of Sundays,” McIntyre told state broadcaster Radio Scotland. “The referee’s in a great position. It’s just not a penalty. There’s no contact at all.
“It’s a disgrace of a decision, there’s no contact at all, there’s three players round him and it’s a dive. It’s as simple as that.
“He (Aluko) is obviously trying to get his team into a lead. I’m not going to blame Aluko, the bottom line is the referee’s there to spot these things and he’s got to do his job and he didn’t do it today.
“For the second goal, the ref has had a nightmare. I’ve just watched it on video and it was never a penalty. It was a really, really poor decision.
“I don’t want to make too much of the referee but there were a couple of poor decisions.”
