Former Scotland winger Neil McCann agreed.<\/p>\n
“I think the McGinn one is a penalty and the McTominay one isn’t,” the Kilmarnock manager said.<\/p>\n
“The McGinn one, we’ve done it as players. He is understanding that he [El Aynaoui] is coming from the side and he knows he just has to take it across him and take the contact.<\/p>\n
“Granted, it is not a clean-out job, but there’s enough contact on his hip to put him out.”<\/p>\n
McCann and Stephen McGinn, meanwhile, both thought the Uzbek referee should have sent off defender Issa Diop for a last-man challenge on Scotland striker Che Adams.<\/p>\n
“It is absolutely a red card for me,” McCann said. “There’s no covering defender, it’s a clip, so it’s not as if it is a ball that’s travelling.<\/p>\n
“It is not a natural collision or an accidental pull-down. He’s pulled him down. Che Adams got goal side.<\/p>\n
“I can’t believe he wasn’t brought to the [VAR] monitor.<\/p>\n
“Somebody said behind me ‘he’s quite far out’, but we had guys being sent off in the opposition half in the Premiership and I think we all work under the same laws of the game.<\/p>\n
“But that is not far out and Che Adams is completely getting on the ball, otherwise why is the yellow card brandished?”<\/p>\n
McGinn was of the same mind and added: “The way our league became last season, that’s an absolute stonewall red card.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Scotland winger Neil McCann agreed. “I think the McGinn one is a penalty and the McTominay one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":509938,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-509937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
