The Burton Albion manager says he thought the sending off of Jackson Irvine was "harsh" in their 4-1 defeat at Hull City.
Image source, Nathan Stirk/Getty ImagesIrvine had equalised for the Brewers but was then given a second yellow card in the first-half.
Hull scored three times after the break against the 10-men of Burton.
Quote MessageIt was very encouraging how we played in the first half up to the sending-off. The second one was not a booking, I thought it was harsh. The first booking was petulant and I have told him."

Here are the headlines across East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire this afternoon:

Port Vale's manager Michael Brown has dismissed speculation surrounding Nathan Smith and Hull City.
Image source, Clint Hughes/Getty ImagesRumours surfaced last week that Hull's scouts were in attendance during Vale's loss at Leeds.
But Brown dismissed the rumours as untrue following Vale's 3-2 defeat against Wycombe.
Quote MessageI think whoever wrote the article's probably the only person who knows about it. Agents don't know anything about it, clubs don't know anything about it, player doesn't know anything about it so whoever wrote that one, I wonder where he's got it from."
Michael Brown, Port Vale manager
Teenagers aged 17 or 18 in Hull are being urged to get a vaccine against meningitis.
Health leaders say the jab will protect against four strains of meningococcal disease which cause meningitis and septicaemia, known as strains A, C, W and Y.
The injection - known as the Men ACWY vaccine - was first introduced for new university students in the UK in 2015.
Quote MessageThe MenACWY vaccine is one of the best ways we have to protect people from meningitis and septicaemia. Public Health England has reported a rise in cases across England, so it’s important for young people to make sure they protect themselves, particularly before they start at university."

GMB members are angry that workers from the EU are paid less than British workers - and say they're being overlooked for jobs as a result.
Look North has approached the two companies in question - but we've yet to receive a response

Work's started on a £3.7m project to build two large water pumping stations in East Yorkshire.
The new pumps, on the banks of the Ouse and Humber rivers, are capable of emptying four Olympic-sized swimming pools in just over an hour.
They are designed to stop water rising in villages like Gilberdyke - which was badly affected by the floods of 2007.

Anyone protecting a wanted Scunthorpe man could face arrest, police have warned.
Kyle Ferguson is wanted in connection with "a series of serious offences", say police.
Officers say community policing teams will be out in force on the Westcliffe estate in their search for him - and to reassure local residents.
Quote MessageAnyone helping Ferguson will be dealt with. This is not a joke. My message to anyone helping him is, is this worth your own liberty? Are you really prepared to be arrested in order to help him?"

A breast cancer charity which had shops in Yorkshire and the Humber region is being investigated after its founder paid herself £31,000 in breach of charity law.
Wendy Watson MBE, who launched National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline in 1996, has resigned as a trustee.
Financial irregularities were uncovered by the Charity Commission, which has issued an official warning for "significant breaches of trust".
Lawyers for Mrs Watson and the charity described the payments as "an error".
Mrs Watson, from Derbyshire, founded the charity four years after she became the first woman in the UK to have a pre-emptive mastectomy.
By 2012, it was raising almost £1m per year from charity shops in Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, the Humber region and London.
These are the headlines across our region this lunchtime:
Two boys aged 13 and 16 years-old have been arrested on suspicion of firearms offences.
The 16-year-old has been charged with breach of his bail conditions.
It is following an incident which police say happened at Issacs Hill in Grimsby on 10 August at 19:45 BST.

Image source, susiesunshineRural crime has been estimated to cost the UK £39m, with many farmers feeling "under siege" from thieves, a new report shows.
Transport links also mean thieves can steal machinery and move it into mainland Europe in "a matter of hours", according to insurer NFU Mutual's Rural Crime Report
Although the cost has reduced from £41m in 2015, the NFU report says farmyards are becoming "fortresses".
The survey shows the problem costs more than £2m in Lincolnshire and more than £1m in parts of Yorkshire.

Workers are staging a protest at a construction site on Hull Docks this morning.
The protest organised by GMB is being attended by local and national construction workers.
They say it is to raise awareness of the exploitation of zero-hour contracts and pay gap between UK and EU workers.
We are told the action is causing some traffic congestion along the A1033 this morning. Stay tuned to BBC Radio Humberside for traffic and travel updates.
