Motherwell are seeking an explanation for a rejected penalty claim at Ibrox but manager Jens Berthel Askou is keen to move on from the incident.<\/p>\n
Referee David Dickinson waved play on when Lukas Fadinger went down under a challenge from Emmanuel Fernandez in the closing moments of their 1-0 defeat to Rangers and the action resumed quickly.<\/p>\n
Askou was convinced Motherwell should have had a spot-kick and has not changed his opinion, while chief executive Brian Caldwell has contacted the Scottish Football Association referees department.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t spoken much to Brian since but I think it’s probably a question of not having the angles that supports what you can clearly see in some of the angles that we have from our photographers,” the Dane said.<\/p>\n
“But I can see that the situation, even on the pitch from all sorts of angles wherever you look at it, speaks for itself.<\/p>\n
“The communication between them and Brian I think it’s a good, open, fair, honest discussion.<\/p>\n
“Eventually maybe they will comment like they do sometimes on some of these things, and I will leave that up to them.<\/p>\n
“For us it’s closed, there’s nothing we can do about it. We feel it was a wrong decision and we stand by that.<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t really make sense to spend a lot of energy on getting all sorts of explanations after the game for me. My most important thing is to make sure that we move on.<\/p>\n
“In football and in life, sometimes the things you cannot control, they go your way, sometimes they don’t. You have to accept it and move on. It was a hard one, of course, but we don’t have time to dwell on it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Motherwell are seeking an explanation for a rejected penalty claim at Ibrox but manager Jens Berthel Askou is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376027,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-376026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
