To the Livingston FC Community:

I wanted to express how frustrated I am, like all of you, on the well documented handball decision that we weren’t awarded a penalty for at Ibrox on Saturday.

It was a huge moment in the match, particularly having just levelled things moments before, and we firmly believe we should have been awarded a penalty and with it, a very good chance to take the lead.

We held lengthy conversations with the SFA this week, and the incident has officially been recognised as a mistake. We should have received a penalty.  While the easy road would be to dwell in the anger and frustration, we must now put this behind us and move forward. Believe me, this is a challenge for myself as well. But how we react to the incident on Sunday – fully supporting our team against Aberdeen – is far more significant to the health and success of this Club.

I want to thank our players, our staff, and our incredible supporters – especially those who made the trip to Glasgow on Saturday – for their unwavering support of the Club.  Please know that I will always work to support and defend this Livingston FC community, and am confident and optimistic for an incredibly bright future ahead, despite setbacks such as what happened on Saturday. We will persevere. We will succeed.

We greatly appreciate our supporters and your backing week-on-week, and look forward to seeing you all here again on Sunday. Let’s turn our anger into incredible roaring support for our team this weekend.

With gratitude,

Calvin Ford
Chairman
Livingston FC
