DEE SEEK SFA REPLY OVER REF DECISION

DUNDEE have contacted the SFA to demand an explanation over why they were denied what appeared to be a stonewall penalty against Falkirk.

The Dark Blues were leading 1-0 on Saturday when their midfielder Ethan Hamilton went down inside the home box following a challenge by Kyrell Wilson just after the half-hour mark.

Hamilton had his foot high but played the ball, with replays showing Wilson - who was on a yellow card - kick his opponent on the inside of his leg before both hit the deck. Hamilton was left with visible stud marks.

Referee Ross Hardie, however, waved away Dundee appeals, above, and adjudged that Hamilton was the player who committed the foul and booked him for reckless play.
