TOMMY Rooney was sent off following a clash with Rochdale's Kevin Gibbins after the final whistle at Moss Rose yesterday (Tuesday).

Earlier Andy Smart had a goal disallowed and Steve Payne saw a header cleared off the line.

Birmingham City midfielder Sean Findlay, on trial at Moss Rose, came off the bench to replace Mark Boyd.

Macc: Deacy, Payne, Smart, Jones (Brackenridge), Cropper, Teague, Whitaker, Morgan, Rooney, Boyd (Findlay), M.Bailey (R.Bailey). Subs: Matranga, Brightwell.
