‘Brain dead’ Charlton Athletic player Ryan Inniss sees red for producing a horrendous lunge against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night.
The 26 year old Addicks defender was sent off just seven minutes after coming on for going in recklessly on George Marsh.
Inniss had been making his return to the side after a spell out with injury but was sent off after 56 minutes after a poor tackle as seen in the video below…

Charlton went on to take the lead shortly after thanks to top scorer Jayden Stockley, however the Dons his back, levelling the scoreline with Zach Robinson getting the goal.
The result means that Charlton sit 15th in the League One standings with 50 points from 41 games played and already have eyes on another season at third tier level.
AFC Wimbledon still have a lot to fight for, positioning in 22nd place and are four points from safety with five games remaining.
āWe started the game really well,ā Jackson told CharltonTV post-match. āIn the first 20 minutes we had total control and we probably should have been a goal or two up, but we allowed them to get back into it. The game then got a bit bitty.
āThere wasnāt a lot in it up until half-time and in the start of second-half, but then we lost Sam Lavelle to an injury, unfortunately. We had to make the change; Inniss comes on, gets himself sent off and then obviously the game has changed and they have got the advantage.
āWe managed to score a brilliant goal in that period and then youāre hoping we can see it. out Weāve got 10 men and Ben Purringtonās knee has gone pretty much, so weāre down to nine.
āIt feels like everything that could have gone against us, went against us, and they still didnāt beat us, so Iām proud of the way my players dug in. Obviously, we came here to win and we didnāt do that, but I think it was a battling point in the end.ā
On Innissā dismissal, the boss said: āItās silly, itās naive, itās reckless, itās a red card. I canāt defend that one. Iām very disappointed with that.
āIt was an enforced change with Lavelle,ā he added. āYou go like for like and you still think, āRight, nothing changes. Weāll be in the ascendancy, weāve got Inniss on the pitch now who is a big threat from set-piecesā.
āSo, I felt like we were going to go on and win the game, but that changed the complexion of it. We had to lose a midfielder and bring another centre-back on. Obviously, itās going to mean that youāre going to concede territory and, consequently, youāre going to concede pressure.
āTheyāre going to be able to get crosses into the box easier than they would have been able to and ultimately thatās where theyāve got their goal from in the end.ā
š¬ “We have to take the point.”
Johnnie Jackson speaks to CharltonTV following tonight’s draw at @AFCWimbledon.

Mark Bowen was happy with how his players responded to his half time team talk as they fought hard for a deserved point.
āWeāve got to try and keep this club in this league,” he said. “Weāve got to get wins; weāve got to get points. In the first half I personally thought we were poor. We started slowly, we were passive, and a few choice words were said at half time.
“The key thing was that we went out in the second-half and everything we said to them, they took on board. There was an urgency in our play, we were on the front foot, we were in their faces, we were putting them under pressure and creating chances. Thatās the way we’ve got to go forward if we want to get out of this mess that weāve got into.
āTheyāve had one cross; one header and theyāve scored a goal ā thatās the way things go sometimes when youāre in this situation. We bounced back well and got the goal that we deserved. From then on, I was thinking we were going to win it.ā

@yipeekiyay88: Was he wearing adidas concretes great close control leading to the tackle š
@charltonfcboy: I don’t even know what he was thinking, he didn’t even need to try to get the ball he should of just went back into his position.
@JBH_____: Never touched him ref
@JakePrice1927: š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ Jesus Christ
@jmperksx: hahaha what a menace
@MichaelBristo1: Was only going to end badly after that awful touch
@natgoodladlwos: *Makes ball gesture with hands*
@Alex_Murray92: As red cards go, this is as blatant as they come š
@samwoodcock: Terrible touch and even worse challenge
@jm_bell95: This is the sort of challenge that if I was a manager, that player would never play for me again. Ridiculous. I know contact is minimal but heās reckless, off the ground, out of control and after just coming on? Sorry, thatās stupid
@JakeWickham99: Times up. Donāt let the door hit you on the way out
@natashaeveritt7: Rewatching this this morning Iām still baffled. Got to be up there with one of the most reckless and pointless challenges Iāve ever seen from a Charlton player
@ctoner97: Should get an extra game ban for that touch!
@HashtagOliverK: Can’t get over how braindead this was
@EllisDennantAV: What on earth was he thinking š¤£š¤£
@JimmyStone_: That tackle from Ryan Inniss is one of the most brainless Iāve ever seen from any Charlton player. If the remaining games are about proving your worth for 22/23, heās just proven we canāt trust him. #cafc
@cafc_daniel: Comes back from injury gets injured comes back from that injury gets red carded. Ryan Inniss ladies and gentlemen
@smit112: Ryan Inniss in the bin, iām sure the bloke just doesnāt want to play. Bye. #cafc
@MarkCAFCSE7: Ryan Inniss you fucking idiot #cafc
@LewisH92: I like Ryan Inniss, but love Charlton Athletic. He’s gotta go blud, he’s gotta go.
@andreasgwood: Just seen that Ryan Inniss red card. One of the most reckless tackles I’ve seen in years. What even possessed him to do that!?
@rikofold: Terrible challenge. If I was Jacko I’d move him on. Just can’t trust him to play enough games. Our discipline has been so poor this season.
@lukepaulgabriel: What the actual was going through his head
@mattbroadCAFC: Thatās the last time we will see him play for us
@macca23_: Fucking hell
@4ndytucker: We are a shambles of a club…
