Motherwell boss Mark McGhee cited the non-award of a penalty for Wednesday's potentially costly 1-0 defeat to Hibernian.
McGhee was adamant that Ross McCormack had been bundled over in the box at the beginning of the season half only for the match official to wave play on.
The result saw the Steelmen fail to topple third-placed Dundee United in the race for a UEFA Cup spot.
"It was a very close game between two closely-matched teams," said McGhee.
"We got the first breakthrough when we had an absolute stonewall penalty.
"I thought that would have won us the game but we didn't get it and they won the game."
