Rhys McCabe slammed the officials as Airdrie fell to a sixth straight defeat in the Championship
Airdrie boss Rhys McCabe claimed even the assistant referee thought his side should have had a penalty in their defeat to Dunfermline - after referee Colin Steven denied the Diamonds a second half spot-kick.
As it was, Lewis McCann's 61st minute strike - which was also controversial as Airdrie felt Rhys Armstrong had been fouled in the build-up - was enough to see the Pars take all three points. “So all we ask and certainly what I asked at the side was, why not go and consult each other, come to the right verdict, which looking back, it's a penalty. I think anywhere else on the pitch, he gives a foul, a clear shove or clear tackle from behind.
"We were the team who started to control the ball and create opportunities. We could do a little better, of course, in the final third but having a strong penalty would have changed the dynamics of the game.
