BARROW AFC have failed in their appeal against Shaun Beeley's red card at Aldershot.

The full-back was dismissed in the 87th minute of the 2-2 draw at the Recreation Ground following an incident involving Shots player Callum Reynolds and now faces a three-game suspension.

Beeley was the first of two Bluebirds to be dismissed in the space of three minutes on Saturday, with referee Constantine Hatzidakis sending off Nick Anderton following soon after as he picked up a second booking.

Beeley had already been booked in the 2-2 draw – where Ross Hannah scored a 95th-minute wonder goal to save AFC a point – but was shown a straight red following an incident involving Shots' Callum Reynolds.

After the ball went out for a Barrow throw-in, Reynolds appeared to try and hide it behind an advertising hoarding, provoking a reaction from Beeley and Shaun Tuton.

Video footage of the incident appeared to show Beeley stamping towards the ball and Reynolds as he runs in.

Barrow submitted an appeal soon after the game based on their player's testimony and video evidence, but it has since been rejected.

He will sit out Wednesday's National League match at Macclesfield, as well as Saturday's encounter with Torquay and the FA Trophy quarter-final with Tranmere Rovers.
