It was a penalty, no doubt of that. That was my view on viewing live and re-iterated when seeing the replay.
However, TV gave us a very good view of the incident and I think the ref had a different view from a different angle and at ground level with other players around and I can see why he may not have been 100% certain. It is one of these frustrating incidents as you know if it was rangers or celtic it would have been awarded without hesitation

The ref bottled it.

Slatterly should have been sent off for a second yellow as well. Booked, then emptied another hibs player straight away.
Carroll also raised his hands to Boyle in a similar manner to which Boyle was booked for in Europe. Motherwell should never have finished with 11 men on the pitch.

I assumed the red card suggestion would've been Van Veen. His was a red and not a yellow IMO.

Shocker of a decision. Clear goal scoring opportunity and zero attempt to play the play-straight red all day long. Magennis falling to the side and getting a toe on the ball has given the ref an out I think, if he fell face forwards and made no contact with the ball I don’t think the ref could have not given it. He’s defo bottled the decision though.

I dont usually condone this but I was glad the players surrounded the ref at half time. We get booted off the park most weeks and need to make sure we're in the refs ear. Boyle in particular must be the most fouled player in the league.

that's a foul anywhere else on the pitch, outrageous the referee didn't consider that a foul
David Munro, cheat or just incompetent

Whichever angle you look at it, it's a shocker.
Ref is either a coward or a cheat. He can't have it any other way. I strongly suspect the former. Hibs penalty, Motherwell player sent off. Ref couldn't stand the pressure of giving that. Needs to be barred from top flight games.

Definitely a clean penalty and a card, yellow or red depending on ref perception of "promising situation".

This wasn't a difficult call for the ref to make. Not his best day at the office.

We all saw it, and he prob realised it himself pretty quickly.
Ref under pressure in a half empty Motherwell stadium??! You're having a laugh!!

I don’t think he was cheating, though - if he was we’d have seen Newell booked and the penalty we did get, waved away.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

I preferred it when they flagged and the referee had to overrule them if they disagreed - none of this secret squirrel stuff!

I think the ball went out of play and in that case the ref could have gone over to the Linesman and asked for his view if he was unsure.

It was live on Sky ! Much, much easier to not give a decision than to do so.

The card not given that bothered me more was for Donnelly in the last seconds. Clear foul in the corner, he’d had a couple previous to it, it the ref blew for full time.
I had a tenner at 50/1 on Hibs win, over 3 Hibs corners, Boyle to score, Porteous booked, Donnelly booked.
When the ref blew I thought it was for the foul! I’ll take the 3 points, but a bonus £500 would’ve been good!!

Awful decision. And I’m pretty surprised (even knowing what they’re like) to learn that this didn’t get any showing or mention on sportscene!!
