Falkirk assistant-manager Brian Rice claims the decision of referee
Eddie Smith not to award his side a first-half penalty cost his side.
Darryl Duffy was floored in the area by David McCracken minutes after firing
the Bairns into an early lead - but the official waved play on.
Rice said: "Dundee United deserved to win - the better team won.
"But saying that we got the first goal and a crucial decision changed the
whole course of the game."
