Dover chairman Jim Parmenter says the club will use video evidence in their appeal against Stefan Payne's first half sending off in the 3-2 home Vanarama National League defeat against Bromley.

Payne was dismissed around the half-hour mark after tangling with Bromley midfielder Lee Minshull and received a straight red card, but Mr Parmenter confirmed after the game that Dover will take the matter further.

He said: "I have seen the incident in slow-motion, and we are convinced it wasn't a red card, we just hope that the Football Association take the same view."

"There is contact because both players go down together, and collapse on each other, but apparently the sending-off was for Stefan kicking out at their player, and there's no sign of that on the video."

Boss Chris Kinnear, told an appeal was possible, said: "I haven't spoken to the chairman, or talked to Stefan. He will obviously plead his case and we'll go from there."

"To me it (the red card) was neither here of there. I couldn't see it, but I'll have a look at the DVD.

"Everyone is saying we should have had a penalty when Shaun Raggett was totally taken out with only a minute to go, but again I haven't seen it close.

"We didn't get a lot of decisions in the game, and that is the way things go, but you could hear in the reaction of the fans at the end, they knew the lads had worked hard, and deserved something from it."

He added: "The result was disappointing. Up until Stef got sent off we were in control, and they hadn't really had a shot.

"We were getting at them, causing them lots of problems, looked quite comfortable, and I am sure we would have gone on and won.

"We had chances after getting back to 2-2, but the disappointing thing is we let in all three goals from dead-ball situations.

"We haven't done that a lot, but it's all part of the learning process. I don't know whose fault it was, but we have got to be braver in there."
