Well rue ‘no goal’ blunder

Stephen Robinson said another poor decision by officials robbed his Motherwell side of a point as they again dropped into the play-off slot.

Motherwell had dominated the first half only for Mark O’hara to open the scoring just before the interval.

Marcus Haber doubled Dundee’s lead early in the second half and scored again after Louis Moult had pulled a goal back.

The moment of controversy came in 77 minutes when Ben Heneghan’s header was cleared by Tom Hateley but with the ball had crossed the line only for the officials to wave play on.

Although Chris Cadden pulled a goal back for Motherwell it was too little too late. Robinson said:“it’s extremely tough. I don’t think we have dominated a 45 minutes like that since I came to the club but possession doesn’t win matches and an individual error before half-time cost us.

“We played well and lost the game but lost a point due to a ridiculous decision, again.

“This cannot keep happening, it is too big a game and circumstances to keep getting it wrong.

“Referee Steven Mclean got no help from the other side and it’s a disgrace – they need help. As human beings they make mistakes.

“It doesn’t take away from the individual errors we made in all three goals we gave away. We should have won the game comfortably.”
