John Brown- the worst decision I’ve ever seen
Peter Pawlett tumbled under pressure from Lewis Toshney with former Celt Niall McGinn converting the penalty that relegates Dundee from the SPL.
“That decision has taken us down and it is a disgrace, the worst I have ever seen,” the Dundee boss stated. “The ref can go to his work on Monday and sleep well tonight but this is our livelihood and it has been taken out of our hands by a shocking decision.
“Lewis stood his ground and Pawlett just dived in two-footed, if anything it is a booking for him rather than a penalty kick.
“I also thought we had a stonewall penalty in the first half. So if you see the highlights you will see one that was a penalty and one that was not.
“It was 100 per cent not a penalty and it has taken us down. I have not really criticised their player yet, but to take a dive he should be ashamed of himself.
“But there you go. How many cheats are there in the game? That is where you think video technology, for 30 seconds in key moments in games, would work.
“When you consider a player can go down for minutes faking injury, and they can’t bring that in. It is a disgrace.
“That has taken us down. I am disappointed for all the fans. Aberdeen didn’t look as if they were going to threaten us. You expect officials to do their job and it makes a mockery of it.”
It’s unclear whether Kenny Clark and Stuart Dougal will be on media duty today to criticise Brown whose side played the last 30 minutes against ten men after Aberdeen’s Rory Fallon was sent off.
