No Sonko appeal

"We won't appeal. We could have but they might then have given him another two games. You have just got to take it on the chin," said coach Kevin Dillon.

"The reaction of the referee was disappointing. It was a penalty, fair enough, but the referee sprinted across. He couldn't wait to get his red card out.

"The game last week with Mark Halsey was completely different. He took his time and spoke to his linesmen and the fourth official.

"But this referee flung his card up when he should have thought about it because there was no intent. Sonko has been punished three times because it was a penalty, he was sent off and now he is missing a game."
