Hamilton boss Brian Rice has revealed he has spoken to the SFA head of refereeing Crawford Allan for "man-to-man" talks after his sensational blast.
The Accies gaffer raged after his side crashed out of the Scottish Cup after a call to award a penalty which was scored by St Mirren star Jamie McGrath for the third and final goal.
The incensed boss took aim at Crawford Allan after the final whistle insisting he had been "f*****g shoved to the side because we're only Hamilton."
The New Douglas Park boss, whose side are bottom of the Premiership, said a conversation with Allan had taken place and he won't be picking up the phone to him again.
Rice said: "I spoke to Crawford. I brought his name up last week and I thought it was only fair that I phoned him. He phoned me back which was very good of him.
"We had a man-to-man conversation. It went very well. We agreed on certain things and we disagreed with certain things, which is great.
"But rest assured, I will never be phoning Crawford Allan again, that's me done. I am finished.
"I said exactly what I think, I got the replies I probably knew I would get and now I know I don't need to phone Crawford Allan again. I can phone him but I will choose not to now.
"What I said last week needed (to be) said from me. You can't be Mr Nice Guy all the time.
"The fire is burning in there and sometimes everyone else has got to see that.
"I was standing up for my club and letting everyone know the fire is burning. I stand by what I said 100 per cent.
"Could I have put it across differently? Of course I could but it was how I felt, it was honesty but we have moved on and the most important thing is tomorrow."
