ACCRINGTON Stanley manager John Coleman has expressed his disappointment and frustration after the Football Association threw out David Brown's red card appeal.
The 28-year-old was controversially given his marching orders by referee Graham Laws in the 89th minute of Saturday's 2-0 win over Hereford.
He will miss crunch games against Walsall, Peterborough and Hartlepool.
Coleman said: "I'm very disappointed. I thought it was a very harsh sending off, but obviously the (disciplinary) panel have decided to back the referee.
"I don't think the lad's been sent off in his life so that's disappointing."
