Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp was furious with defender Dejan Stefanovic,
who was sent off in stoppage time of the 1-0 defeat at Bolton.
Stefanovic appeared to body check referee Phil Dowd, but the official confirmed
he had given the red card for foul and abusive language.
Redknapp said: "I could do without that as I have no squad as it is. I have
got injuries and suspensions galore.
"To get a player sent off in the last minute of the game for swearing at the
referee is absolute nonsense.
"People shouldn't get paid if they are not playing. Why should you pay their
wages for sitting on the bench?
"I judge every red card on their merits and I certainly won't stand for
someone swearing at the referee."
