Charnock red card to stand
Torquay United defender Kieran Charnock has lost his appeal against the red card he was handed in last week's 1-1 draw at Shrewsbury Town.
Charnock will have to serve a three-match suspension, after the Football Association ruled that he was right to be dismissed by referee Graham Scott.
He will now miss the League Two games against Rotherham United and Port Vale as well as next Saturday's FA Cup tie at Stockport County.
The Gulls were quick to launch an appeal against the decision and were originally due to hear the outcome on Wednesday.
Since then the outcome was twice delayed by 24 hours.
Gulls boss Paul Buckle had said after the match: "I've had an opportunity to look at the challenge. It was a perfectly fair challenge, it was one-footed and wasn't high."
