Aldershot defender Ricky Newman has insisted he was wrongly set off in Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Luton.

Newman, 38, was given a straight red card for a challenge on Rossi Jarvis when the score was 1-1.

He told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "I've cleared it and the player has run on to me. The ref says I have put my foot down and I have stamped on him.

"I haven't, there was no intent. I have gone in hard but fair. The decision has changed the game."

Newman now faces a three match suspension.
