Pirates Successful With Red Card Appeal - Ipswich Town News
Bristol Rovers have successfully appealed against centre-half Alfie Kilgour’s red card during Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat to the Blues at Portman Road.
Kilgour, 24, was dismissed in injury time for tripping Town forward Conor Chaplin when he was through on goal with manager Joey Barton insisting afterwards that his defender hadn’t touched League One’s top scorer.
"You see the boy with Alfie Kilgour,” he said. "Alf says he doesn’t touch him and he throws himself to the floor and Alf is dismissed.”
Earlier, Rovers had had Bobby Thomas given his marching orders for two bookable offences with no appeal available against that dismissal.
