Furious Dick Campbell blasted referee Calum Scott for the double whammy penalty decision that denied Arbroath a point at Hamilton Accies - and cost Thomas O'Brien his wages next week.
Lichties skipper O'Brien saw red in the 56th minute for stopping Dario Zanatta's strike with his arm as it flew towards goal.
But Campbell insisted the penalty - which Steve Lawson converted - should never have been given and branded the decision the softest he's ever seen.
