I'd have given it...clumsy tackle from the wrong side.

He also might have controlled it with his hand...but tbh both points were so marginal I don't think we can have seriously complain.

I think Boyd was just onside for his goal. He may have controlled the ball with his hand before shooting but the TV highlights are not clear. The penalty was exceedingly soft and only 2 Killie players made half hearted claims and our lads were incensed. Nine times out of ten it would not be given.
