The frustrating thing is I do believe him when he says it was accidental and to be honest I think a yellow would have sufficed but he made it easy for the ref to send him off. The ref couldn't get the card oot his pocket quick enough.
There is probably a long list of incidents where our players have been on the receiving end of similar elbows and the offenders have gotten away with it but what can you do. If your elbows are flailing aboot you might get sent off. Barry has a lot of experience and should have known better.
