Darren Jones expected to miss Hereford Match

As previously reported on BN former Hereford United central defender Darren Jones was sent off yesterday at the Rec as Aldershot were defeated by Bury 3-1.

In a game full of controversy Marvin Morgan also received his marching orders as did Shots manager Kevin Dillon.

Both Jones (pictured at Morecambe last season) and Morgan are expected to miss Tuesday evening's game at Edgar Street unless the Shots win any appeal they might lodge.

According to the official Aldershot website on 22 minutes 'Jones was deemed guilty of an infringement on Ryan Lowe inside the penalty box that saw referee Whitestone award a penalty and dismiss the former Hereford defender. Heartache for Jones who will miss the match against his former club on Tuesday evening. Aldershot players incensed with the original decision remonstrated with the referee and Morgan was duly cautioned.'

Manager Dillon, who was said to be unhappy with several of the referee's decisions, had a word with him at the end of the first half.

Midway through the second half 'Morgan was deemed to have challenged Damian Mozika with an over the top challenge that saw referee Whitestone issue a straight red card. Mozika returned to the pitch after treatment after initially appearing to be in considerable distress.'

Then after a challenge from Mozika on a Shots player, Dillon was sent to the stands.

After the game Dillon gave his reaction to BBC Sport.

"I'm absolutely disgusted by what's happened. I'm a little bit concerned about the way things have gone with the referee

"I got sent off for argueing.

"We are going to appeal against the two sending-offs."

Aldershot are 11th in the League.
