GLOVERS' manager Gary Johnson said he was "disturbed" that the FA failed to rescind Paul Huntington's red card.

The Yeovil Town captain was dismissed at the weekend for a tackle on Preston North End's Jamie Proctor. The club chose to challenge referee Oliver Langford's decision, but were unsuccessful and will be without Huntington for three games.

Attempts to sign defensive cover on Tuesday's transfer deadline proved fruitless and the Glovers will have to wait until Wednesday at the earliest to agree a loan, unless they bring in a free agent.

Johnson said: "I am very disturbed that Huntington did not get his red card rescinded because I have seen many tackles that have gone unpunished that were much worse than that.

"There is an unbelievable inconsistency in who is getting red cards, who is not, who is getting off red cards, who is not, who should appeal and who should not. Nobody knows the criteria for a good or bad tackle."
