O'Neil said: My view, David Moyes' view, Fabianski's view is that it was a scandalous decision. Terrible. Horrendous. I don't understand it. I can't think of an explanation, it was one of the worst decisions I've ever witnessed. I wasn't calm enough to receive (an explanation), but he hasn't really got one.
I don't know where they are with it and any explanation doesn't help us. It was a terrible decision and I'll tell you why it's a terrible decision because they only way he can impact the keeper is if he's impacting how he can move, which he isn't, and if he impacts his vision, which he isn't.
If you look at the side view, Fabianski can clearly see the ball over Tawanda's head. It's a terrible decision. He's a fully qualified professional referee stood in front of a screen and he should be able to make his own decision. The whole world thinks it's a terrible decision, yet a highly qualified referee is stood in front of a screen, with slow-motion replays, and manages to get it wrong."
He also said: When we're as short as we are and we're having to fight and dig as much as we are, to suffer that decision at that stage of the game was tough for the players to take. They're unbelievably frustrated with the officiating.
We had discussions earlier in the season about them wanting to show that they don't feel like they're respected by the officials and that has resurfaced today. It's hard for me to convince them otherwise when you look at the decisions which have gone against us.
But what we've got to do now is refocus, we'll go again at Nottingham Forest, and it's a big blow for us to catch the teams above us, but the team are giving everything and that's where we are at the moment. We did all we could today and because of three crazy incidents it wasn't enough."
