Southend United appeal Barry Corr’s red card

Barry Corr was sent off at Hartlepool at the weekend.

PHIL Brown has confirmed the club have appealed to have Barry Corr’s absurd red card from the weekend’s clash with Hartlepool overturned.
The Southend number 10 was adjudged to have kicked out at Pools defender Jack Baldwin, when video footage clearly shows the alleged misdemeanour was simply a tangle of legs with both players’ eyes on the ball.
The referee is believed to have sent Corr off on the advice of his linesman, and if the appeal is not successful, the Irishman will miss tough games with Northampton, Chesterfield and Wycombe.
The decision on whether to uphold the appeal is likely to be made by tomorrow afternoon.
