BOSS Eddie Howe said he had no sympathy for Jeff Goulding following the striker’s quickfire sending off during Cherries’ dispiriting defeat at Grimsby on Saturday.
The frontman saw red for his part in an off-the-ball incident involving Mariners’ on-loan defender Jude Stirling just seconds after Goulding had come off the bench.
Goulding, who had replaced Brett Pitman in the 70th minute, received his marching orders without having touched the ball after allegedly elbowing Stirling.
His rush of blood left Cherries a man short for the final 20 minutes, with Grimsby substitute Ashley Chambers profiting to grab a dramatic injury-time winner.
And with an appeal unlikely, Goulding – who declined a post-match request to discuss the incident with the Daily Echo – will be hit with an automatic three-match ban.
Howe said: “I thought it was a sending off. It was a strange one because it’s not like Jeff. You don’t know what goes through players’ minds but it happened and we had to deal with it.
“I saw it and thought he was going to get a red card as soon as he had done it. I would always accept tackles. Football is a contact game and tackles are there to be made.
“But you can’t condone off-the-ball incidents at any stage of the game. I was disappointed because it left us with an uphill battle.”
Howe said the matter would be dealt with internally before adding that Goulding knew he had not “covered himself in glory today”.
Goulding’s exit came with the contest delicately poised at 2-2 after Cherries had twice come from behind to level thanks to goals from Lee Bradbury and Liam Feeney.
However, the Mariners made their numerical advantage pay when Leicester City loan striker Chambers popped up to score in the first of four minutes of injury time.
“I was disappointed because I didn’t think we played well at all,” said Howe. “I thought we got what we deserved. Grimsby were the better team, so credit to them.
“Bar our goalkeeper and two centre-halves, I thought we were poor. It’s a difficult place to come, they are fighting for their lives, they put us under a lot of pressure and I didn’t think we dealt with it very well.
“It looked like we might be able to cling on for a point but I don’t think it would have been deserved. We were on the back foot and didn’t really show much quality. That was disappointing because we have played well recently but dipped below our standards.
“We all need to have a look at ourselves and try to bounce back next week. It is very rare that I have been disappointed with a performance and think it has happened only a couple of times this season. This was definitely one of them.”
Howe also had words of praise for Cherries’ army of travelling supporters: “I felt for them because they made a tremendous effort to come here and it wasn’t a spectacular game from our point of view so I can only apologise for that.”

Fair play to EH for keeping us going this long up near the top. We are seriously overachieving and Grimsby showed that on Saturday. I made the long trip thinking we could/should get a result and to be fair to Grimsby the totally outplayed us and probably deserved a more comfortable win. Our embargo and financial ineptness over the past three or four years has culminated in difficult circumstances for Eddie and co and they should be given a Knighthood for how well they've done but, and it is a HUGE but, I've seen people say we deserve to get promoted etc and however much I love this club I dissagree. We have picked up so many points this year when we probably shouldn't of got anything out of the game but over the course of the season I think we will find our natural position which I think will be in the playoffs. I also think that by going up, it could cause further damage to our club. Can we afford better players? Can we then stay in the league and keep the attendances up? I'm worried that we'd get relegated and then face further financial troubles again. We should try to do the right thing comercially before climbing the league. Get our house back in order then build from that. Other clubs do. Grimsby haven't gone into administration or had a transfer embargo because they operate within the means of their income and pay the price in terms of league position and I know Chester felt agreived last year when they did the same and we stayed up by operating outside our income. Football is becoming too immoral and so many people have suffered at our mismanagement so for that reason I would feel comfortable with more league 2 football and the opportunity to right some wrongs commercially before stealing the headlines on the pitch. Well done EH and Co but I feel it is ineveitable that we will sit lower in the league come what may!

I look down these comments and yet again negativity. Yes Goulding was an idiot Saturday, but i would imagine he has punished himself and let Eddie and the club down enough without all the supporters having a go too.
The finances are still very very negative so we need sorting on that.
But most importantly we may be out of the automatic promotion places by the time we play Saturday, that should be the supporters priority now. 3 points is a must, Rotherham are hit and miss and I really dont believe they will go straight up. However if they beat Macclesfield at home tomorrow they'll have our 3rd place.
We need a full house on Saturday and create an atmosphere. Accrington's top scorer Symes is suspended so things more promising for us.
Can the echo run a back page or even half a front page for the club to get bums on seats.
I work around Southampton and wherever you go Saints advertise all over lamp posts and roundabouts etc. What do we do?? Nothing!
Just one point about Saturday and not Goulding. How on earth has nothing been said about the 2nd goal. It's blatant cheating and the laws of the game state he should have been booked too. No comment has been made by Grimsby, the ref or us. Had it been in the premiership it would have been on national news and papers etc.

Grow some positivity and if you can find some video footage to view the incident you can then formulate your OWN opinion, until then your comments are as per usual garbage!

No ''claim'' was made Mr Negative, read my comments correctly! Eddie can have his opinion as he saw the incident therefore I can respect his opinion. I do not respect your opinion as you have not seen it and to make it worse your view is on behalf of a third party! I do not have an opinion on it as I have not seen it! Is this making sense to you yet, it's a way of life Mr, get it?! Is that all . . . . 1983? And you've missed a few games? You clearly dont go to the away game's either, not really bmth till I die are you ;-) Hee hee get out more, pmsl :-)
I can't make out your grammar for the rest of your comments, but all I'll say is yes AFCB can go up this season for sure, and more than anything else they and the true supporters deserve it too!
Blimey get that chip off your shoulder, get out, be positive and good things will happen :-)
