'Plain stupid... no excuse... let himself down there' - how Portsmouth fans reacted to Marcus Harness red card against Accrington

The Blues forward picked up a straight red card for his rash challenge from behind on Accy’s Ross Sykes – just seconds after he failed to win a free-kick.

It was a clear act of petulance from the winger who now faces a three-match ban for the tackle.

And it leaves Pompey in a difficult position, with boss Danny Cowley having only 13 senior outfield players to chose from today.

Thankfully, the Blues didn’t miss him too much as they secured a 4-0 win.

However, there’s plenty of unimpressed Blues fans who feel Harness has let both himself and the team down today.

Here’s a selection of the views shared...

@lukehookings: Why has he done that?

It’s just plain stupid, puts us on the back foot for the rest of the game now.

@mark11s: Harness let his teammates down there.

Such a needless challenge to make in retaliation.

@PompeyHazza9: Stupid decision by Harness. We should of had a free kick but what Harness did was reckless and stupid.

@peadubya66: No excuse for that stupidity.

@Mikey_Robs_91: Harness totally let himself down there, petulant reaction.

@CowleysCows: Too often Harness reacts when he doesn't get a foul & then gets booked for a bad challenges.

Most of his bookings have come thst way, will he ever learn?

@AtlGorillaTalk: We have only 13 healthy players and now one fewer because of a stupid red card.

You have to control your emotions better than that, Harness.
