Scott Brown slams 'disrespectful' referee Calum Scott as Ayr United undone by late Partick penalty call

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Livid Scott Brown let rip at ref Calum Scott after the whistler's late show at Firhill.The man in the middle incensed Ayr by blowing for a controversial penalty eight minutes from time.

And he tipped Brown over the edge when ruling out a last minute leveller for the Honest Men in Maryhill.Gaffer Brown hit out at the attitude of the official - who he insists refused to speak to both him and his players over the hotly disputed calls.He raged: "The referee wanted to make it about himself today and he did a really good job of that.

He wouldn't let us talk to him - I went to try and speak to him at the end and got exactly the same treatment."It's good as a player when you can have a little bit of banter with a referee.

Bobby Madden was the best at it during my time - he would push you to the side and say 'shut up!'"But the ref today was disrespectful to every one of our players with the way he went on.
