Notts County to appeal "joke" red card for Aaron Collins at Portsmouth

Notts County boss John Sheridan has confirmed that the club will be appealing Aaron Collins' red card in their 2-1 win at Portsmouth on Saturday.

The on-loan Wolves striker was dismissed late on when he appeared to collide with Pompey goalkeeper David Forde while charging down a clearance.

Sheridan was furious with the decision and told reporters after the game: "He hasn't touched him. I've seen it on the video.

"Aaron stupidly has made an effort to block the ball, but there's no maliciousness in it.

"You could say both feet are off the ground, but he hasn't touched him.

"It's a bit of a joke to get him sent off and the referee hasn't even seen it.

"I am going to appeal it because I have seen the video. I am hoping we will get off with it."
