Dundee manager Tony Docherty expressed his frustration with the penalty decision that went against his team in their match against Celtic. Despite a strong performance by his players, Dundee ended up losing the game due to a penalty awarded to Celtic.
Docherty believed that his team deserved to keep a clean sheet for their hard work and organization on the field. He argued that the penalty given to Celtic was soft and that there was a foul on Mohammed Sylla in the build-up to the goal. Docherty also pointed out that Antonio Portales had touched the ball and was not aware of Kyogo Furuhashi’s presence, questioning the validity of the penalty decision.
Although Docherty briefly spoke to the match official after the game, he felt that the decisions made during the match were unfair to his team. He acknowledged that sometimes luck does not go their way but emphasized the importance of continuing to work hard and show commitment as a team.
Despite the defeat, Docherty remained proud of his players’ performance and believed that they deserved a better outcome. He highlighted the need to stay focused and maintain their level of commitment in order to turn their fortunes around in future matches.
