Falkirk keeper Robbie Mutch "cut up" about being sent off against Forfar says co boss Lee Miller

Falkirk were bossing the home League One encounter and led 1-0 through Anton Dowds' first half strike before the game turned when the visitors won a second half penalty - which Jordan Allan scored - after Mutch had struck Allan on the back of the head in the penalty area following an altercation.

Miller told Herald Sport: ​"Robbie's got the ball and I've kind of looked away so I've not seen what's happened. I've head he's hit him on the back of the head or whatever.

"He shouldn't be sucked into these things. He'll know himself.

"You never raise your hands (on the pitch). Everybody makes mistakes. He'll know that himself, he's cut up in there because he knows he's made a mistake.

"But we all make mistakes, we're all human.

"Robbie has done incredibly for us. There are times in games he's been different class and one mistake cost us a little.

"Robbie will learn from that and he'll move on.

"H's an unbelievable goalkeeper and he's done unbelievably well for us.

"He's been a credit, he's kept us in games and done well for us since he's been here.

"But I think you look at the bigger picture, you look at the chances we created in the first half, we never took that into the second half.

"We weren't the same team. We switched off a few times second half which wasn't like us, that was the disappointing part."

Mutch's straight red card will see him banned for two games - starting with East Fife at home next Saturday.

So substitute keeper PJ Morrison, on for the last 25 minutes against Forfar, will get his chance to shine.

Miller said: "We're lucky enough to have PJ from Motherwell, exceptional goalie as well.

"It's one of those things. It's funny how football works how you get in.

"It's a chance for him to shine and show us what he can do."
