BARROW AFC are set to appeal against Shaun Beeley's red card from Saturday's National League match at Aldershot.

Beeley was the first of two Bluebirds to be dismissed in the space of three minutes when he was sent off by referee Constantine Hatzidakis, with 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 (see highlights below) appears to show Beeley stamping towards the ball and Reynolds as he runs in.

An AFC statement on the appeal said: “Barrow are to appeal the red card for violent conduct shown to Shaun Beeley on Saturday in the 2-2 draw at Aldershot.

“The club will submit what they believe is supporting video evidence and the player's personal testimony.

“The club await the FA's disciplinary panel's deliberations to find out whether he will join Nick Anderton in missing Wednesday's trip to Macclesfield.”

Barrow cannot appeal against Anderton's dismissal, as it was for two yellow cards.

Should both men miss the trip to Macclesfield, it would leave AFC with a shortage of full-backs, although talks are ongoing regarding two new signings, both of whom could fill in if necessary.

Boss Paul Cox has also spoken of the ability of midfield duo Dan Rowe and Akil Wright to slot in at full-back should the deals not go through.
