"The big talking point was the two penalties. It's clear as day. I don't know what more you want him to do - pick the ball up with two hands, are you going to give a penalty then or not?"
"And then we try to talk to the referee and he tries to tell us to focus on the AFC [Champions League]. How can the referee say this? We're talking about now and he says focus on the AFC."
"Throughout the season it's a clear penalty, but now we get to crunch time, they change it. I don't know why."
Ivan Toney expressed frustration over refereeing in Al-Ahli's 1-1 draw with Al-Fayha, particularly regarding two denied penalty appeals for handball. Toney suggested that Al-Nassr, the league leaders, are receiving preferential treatment in the title race. After the match, he criticized the referee's comments about focusing on the AFC Champions League instead of the current game. Toney emphasized that the decisions made during crucial moments of the season seem inconsistent, raising concerns about fairness in officiating as the league approaches its conclusion.
