More reaction from yesterday's game at Edgar Street

The debate over whether Hereford's striker Steve Guinan should have received a straight red card continues.

Paul Ince, the MK Dons manager, is reported to have told Guinan that he thought the referee had got it wrong, whereas his deputy Ray Mathias, as reported earlier, thought differently.

"After I had a shower I came to the directors box and Paul Ince came down and put his arm around me. He said it was never a sending off - it was a yellow card at best," Guinan told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"I think everyone knows it was a yellow card except the man that counts who is the referee but the decision has been made and nothing can be done about it."

Here's what some of the press said. The Sunday Mirror described it as a 'shocking challenge'. Wales on Sunday reported that Guinan 'succeeded only in scything down Lloyd Dyer from behind'.

Locally Richard Prime from the Hereford Times described the events as such:

The Bulls striker lost the ball in midfield and raced back to try to win the ball back but only succeeded in bringing down Lloyd Dyer with a horrid challenge from behind.

He then watched in horror and disbelief as the red mist was followed by the red card of referee Paul Melin.

Former Bulls keeper Matt Baker, now working for the MK Dons website, described the decision as 'scandalous' but Guinan was certainly pushing his luck in committing a foul like that directly in front of an official who had already produced six red cards in seven matches this season.

Meanwhile Hereford United manager Graham Turner gave his view on the game and the sending off.

"It was nothing more than a trip and most people were staggered when the referee produced the red card," said Turner as reported by the Daily Mail.

"I thought we started the game very well when we had one or two chances, but you need to score in a good spell," said Turner as reported by the Sunday Mirror.

"In the second-half with ten men we looked disciplined and the result hasn't done the lads justice."
