Michael Leary's dismissal for a second bookable offence hampered Hendon's side in their bid for a first home victory since October.[LNB]However, the Bees manager revealed the midfield man, booked early in the game, would not have come out for the second half if Ismail Yakubu had not suffered an injury.[LNB]He said: "Michael was in the shower at half-time precisely because he was already on a yellow card and I didn't want to chance it.[LNB]"But two minutes before we were due to go back out, Ismail said he got an injury and we had to get Michael out of the shower and back into his kit to go out and play.[LNB]"The lad knew he was on a yellow and although the boys say he won the ball, he shouldn't be making tackles like that when he's already been booked."[LNB][LNB]
