| Comments | Match Report Report from the Press & Journal. Clyde 3 Ross County 1 Ross County's Second Division promotion push took a blow on Saturday following a dismal display from referee Cammy Melville in the meeting with Clyde at Broadwood. The match official awarded a brace of harsh penalties against the Highlanders either side of half-time--to gift the hosts the lead--then dismissed County's Craig Tully to cripple the visitors' hopes of a fightback as they went down 3-1. County boss Neale cooper said: "If they were two intentional hand balls then surely the ref should have given yellow cards. At the first there was no one near Craig Tully and although I couldn't see it, he told me it hit him on his chest. "At the second Davie Ross was not even facing play. Even they couldn't believe it." The visitors had made the brighter start to the match and moved ahead in the 24th minute when Mark Duthie sent Gary Wood clear for the striker to finish with his left foot. But two controversial penalties from Brian Carrigan and a third from Mark McLaughlin saw the three points remain at home. |
