McGinn himself was in no doubt that he was fouled by Neil El Aynaoui, but insists Scotland cannot fixate on refereeing calls.<\/p>\n
“We could have been helped at times by the ref with 50-50 challenges,” the Aston Villa man said. “No problem with allowing things to flow but it has to be consistent.<\/p>\n
“Out the corner of my eye, I could see (the Morocco defender) charging in. I got first contact to the ball and he took me out. It’s a penalty kick for me. Sometimes you get them, sometimes you don’t. If it was given on the field, no chance it’s overturned.<\/p>\n
“Morocco have got away with one there. But we need to be better and create chances from open play, not rely on referee’s decisions.”<\/p>\n
On the Diop yellow card, two former Scotland forwards believe it should have been a different colour of card.<\/p>\n
“For me, it is (a red),” Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann said. “Che Adams is goal-side and he’s clearly pulled back. I think with the flight of the ball, he’s going to get onto it and there’s no-one on the cover.”<\/p>\n
James McFadden agreed. “He’s running onto it, straight towards goal. It’s 100% an obvious goalscoring opportunity. If the referee deems it a foul, he has to send him off.”<\/p>\n
However, former Scotland winger Pat Nevin defended Tantashev’s “bizarre” display.<\/p>\n
“You put that referee in a game 10 years ago and he’s perfectly normal,” he said. “I’m all right with that. <\/p>\n
“He made a couple of mistakes but, in reality, I’d rather have him than most of the referees we get these days. We’d have a much more robust game where not every single time somebody nudged somebody and that person crumpled, it’s a foul.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
