Falkirk denied stonewall penalty against Celtic

In the Falkirk v Celtic game on Tuesday 11 December 2007, Falkirk get denied a stonewall penalty. From the BBC report.
But the Bairns boss wondered what might have been had referee Dougie McDonald ruled Ryan Conroy had handled a Gerard Aafjes header on the line."I need to see it on the television," Hughes said. "But from what I have been told it was a stonewall handball and that really changes the game."

The game was delicately balanced at 1-0 when Aafjes header appeared to strike Conroy's right arm on the line preventing a certain Falkirk equaliser.
