John Carver has expressed his belief that Fabricio Coloccini's red card in Newcastle United's 3-0 defeat to Everton was a harsh one.
The Argentina defender was given his marching orders for a foul on Aaron Lennon at Goodison Park, and the Newcastle boss was unhappy with the decision.
He told reporters: "I've looked at it four or five times from different angles and it's not conclusive but that might just be the footage we have.
"When it happened, from the reaction of the Everton players I thought it must have been a red card but, when I came in at full time and had a look at it, it was difficult to decide.
"I'll look at it again. If it's worthy of a sending-off, I'll accept it. If it's not, then we'll appeal but, in all honesty, I tried to look at it and I still wasn't convinced. If it was worthy of a red card then he deserves a three-match ban but, if it wasn't, then we'll have a look at it."
The defeat leaves the Magpies in 11th in the Premier League.
