Livingston boss David Martindale blasted referee Kevin Clancy after the Lins slumped to a 1-0 loss away to St Johnstone that saw them fall out of the top six.
It was a game of two penalty decisions at McDiarmid Park with the hosts being awarded one in the third minute that was converted by Callum Hendry for the only goal of the game – and one not given for Livi in the closing stages for a clear handball from St Johnstone defender Dan Cleary.
Martindale disputed the decision to award Saints an early spot-kick after Jack Fitzwater had been adjudged to have used his elbow on Callum Hendry, noting both that Murray Davidson had been offside in the build-up and the actual decision to punish Fitzwater was harsh.
