Bristol Rovers manager Mark McGhee told BBC Radio Bristol:
McGhee bemoans 'petulant' Kenneth
"We've lost the game but I don't think miserable is quite the right expression to use.
"We had some good individual performances and we've put a tremendous amount of work in to the game.
"Losing the game is the worst thing but then having the two players sent off was bad.
"Garry Kenneth is a better player than that. It was petulant and lazy and, to get himself sent off in that way, was unprofessional."
