Didn't Pollitt come off his line & handled ball out of the area, & got sent off in one game, if I remember rightly.

[Townerslovechild]

Ironically yes,think it was Arsenal in the cup.

I was at the game, but can't remember who against.
Arsenal doesn't ring a bell.

He got sent off at Arsenal for handling outside the area, and had also been sent off the previous week at Palace for the same thing.

He got sent off away at Derby the season before that for handling outside the box but replays showed it was on the line and I think it got rescinded if I remember right.

Thought that was Billy Mercer

Game I am thinking about was indeed against Derby County Feb 2003 .
Has said later recinded by the FA.
Quite right also against Arsenal in league cup, Oct 2003 in extra time which stood.
Thanks for info

I was at the Goldstone ground in the early 90's, someone got sent off for the same thing. We were stood dead in line with it and loads of Millers fans went to the front to complain. A copper said to me that it was in the box and the inept Ref got it wrong and now we have to sort it out..........can't remember who it was.

P.S, i was at Arsenal that night as well...............

Could the keeper have been Ian Gray

Ian Gray was early 2000s, not early 90s

I was at that Brighton game but I can't remember the name of the goalie or the lanky centre forward who went in goal. We still didn't concede (if my memory has got that bit right).

Just seen it mate.
Looking at the years 1990 onwards
Kelham O'Hanlon & Billy Mercer

If it was the match in October 1993 then Matt Clarke was the keeper that got sent off. Imre Varadi and Ian Helliwell was up front and Rotherham won 2-0, Pickering and Goodwin scoring. Billy Mercer got sent off against Brighton the season before at Millmoor

That's the one pal. Cheers. We'd just bought a 1yr old Fiesta and gave it a run. Parked in Dover and nipped to Calais, then on the return we visited some friend what lived in Brighton so i went to the match. After we went to the Greyhounds and had a Curry back near the Goldstone.
