York City manager Martin Foyle claimed that mistaken identity had cost leading scorer Richard Brodie a fifth caution of the season against Oxford United and likely suspension.

Brodie was booked after an apparent altercation with Oxford's James Constable, although Foyle later advised the referee that it had in fact been Adam Smith. The match official responded by saying that he would take another look at the decision, which had only been given upon the intervention of the fourth official.

Foyle told BBC Radio York: "The fourth official got the wrong man. It should have been Adam Smith, not Richard Brodie who was booked.

"But we've told the referee. He can look at it before he hands it in his report and he says he will do that, to be fair. And, if that doesn't get rescinded, we may as well give up.

"It was a great advert for Conference football," he added.

"They've only had one shot. And our two strikers got around Mark Creighton and Luke Foster, which we'd been working on.

"And I thought Michael Rankine was unplayable. He looked a league player today."
