Thomas Kaminski, the keeper for Luton, has apologized to his teammates for forcing them to play with just 10 players for over an hour during their Championship match against Portsmouth yesterday after he was sent off in the first half.
The game began on the south coast with the Belgian international heading Conor Shaughnessy’s header over the bar and then denying Sam Silvera’s hard drive. However, referee John Busby reprimanded both the defender Teden Mengi and him for taking too long over a goal kick. Even though Mengi was actually the one standing over the ball, Kaminski was booked for time-wasting when they repeated the action a few minutes later at the half-hour mark, in front of an increasingly agitated North Stand.

One of Luton’s standout players from their Premier League campaign soon suffered the consequences of his decision when, 34 minutes into the game, he raced out of his goal to try and clean up a long ball forward. He was only able to catch Pompey forward Paddy Lane and also managed to clean out Connor Ogilvie as he attempted to reach the rebound. With James Shea being called up to take Carlton Morris’ spot between the posts, Busby was left with little choice than to give Kaminski his second yellow card, as the stopper saw red for the first time in his career.
