Aldershot v Barrow match thread

[Chris Benoit]

I've watched the highlights of the ATFC game, and with regards to Shaun Beeley's sending-off, look at how he comes into the the ATFC player holding the ball (the one stopping the throw-in being taken).

His right boot is up, studs showing and straight into the player's thigh, it's a long way from the ball. Have a look at the replay from 3 mins.

What Beeley did was a disgrace, and Cox needs to give a long hard think and consider if he wants a player capable of doing that ever representing Barrow again.

Get a grip you fool. Players lose their rag all over the country. Why jeopardise our right back position for a heat of the moment action?

[Steeley]

100% red card.

[Steelworks End]

Proceeded to spend several hours in the Royal Staff post match who were very welcoming and a late night after problems at Euston delayed me getting home so should also get a large chunk of train fare back - the day just kept on giving

Do you ever pay the full fare, Si?

[Bigfathoss]

That's ridiculous. he went into an off-the-pitch tussle and stuck his studs straight into the guy's inner thigh> it was a [SwearFilter] disgusting and dirty thing to do. I like Beeley a lot as a player but that was an absolute shocker.

It`s that ridiculous that the club are appealing against it!

You must have your Howarth Glasses on!

So you still maintain that there was no intent to hurt the player? Studs up on an off the pitch incident against a player who was already leaning against the sidings. That's still your take on it yes?
If the club appeals then the club will lose and probably earn Beeley a longer ban.

Looks very much like a straight red to me.
Opposition player very provocative, but Beeley just lost it.
He's like that - very passionate. A good acquisition for Barrow, but gets caught out of position too often to be excellent, and he's not tall enough.

Beeley for me would be the second name on the team sheet after Livesey every week. An outstanding player at this level who has had one rush of blood to the head and probably bitterly regrets it

[DaveP]

If I was to give him the benefit of the doubt it would be on the basis perhaps he tried to "rake" the ball out with his foot and got it horribly wrong?

It was their fella's fault for timewasting anyway. If the National League's commitment to fair play and sportsmanship means anything then we should really have the red card rescinded and be awarded the win on moral grounds.

[behind the goals]

Hughes now on 9 bookings so like Bennett one booking away from 2 game ban

Agreed. They could also have a new motto of
" Timewasting, Isn't it time to stamp it out!!!"

[Jim]

Very good!

FWIW,it's hard to argue against the red card, you can't expect to do things like that and not be punished. However it could hardly be described as vicious or violent, it looks to me as though he hardly touched the player, a gesture of anger and frustration but no real intent to hurt. I wouldn't consider appealing though.

What is really annoying is that the other player should have had a yellow for witholding the ball and preventing a quick throw in. Does the offence of 'ungentlemanly conduct' still exist

[Matty]

We have appealed by all accounts, so a longer ban will be coming.

[Moribund]

Their player did get booked.

Anybody questioning Beeley's ability or his place in the team is clearly deluded, but anybody who thinks it wasn't a red card is definitely only saying that because it's Barrow. If it was the other way round, you'd have been screaming for a red.

[Middleton Nick]

I can't see the point of appealing. There is no defence.
