In Saturday’s goalless draw at Carlisle United, Doncaster Rovers defender Jay McGrath was sent off.
After a deadlock that lasted well into stoppage time, the 21-year-old centre-back was given a yellow card at the end of the first half. Along with Tom Anderson, Harry Clifton, and Luke Molyneux, McGrath became the fourth Rovers player to be sent off in the league this season.
“The referee set the tone really early on with a booking for James Maxwell didn’t he?” said McGrath’s manager Grant McCann, who did not believe McGrath
deserved the first red of his Rovers career.
“The other two bookings for Jay and Luke (Molyneux) are nothing really. Luke was a tad late with his and it was a free-kick. It was harsh. I felt it was going to be one of those games. I could sense the boys were getting frustrated first half and second half we were much better. Is it a (second) yellow for Jay? Possibly. But I know he didn’t touch their man because I could see it. But their lad is experienced, is clever and is rolling around so it is what it is.”
