ANDY CARROLL was sent off on his long-awaited full debut for Dagenham & Redbridge.
The former England striker, 36, joined the National League South club in July.
Andy Carroll was sent off before half-time on his full debut for Dagenham & Redbridge
But he missed the start of the season with a hamstring injury.
The ex-Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham man came off the bench for his debut last week as his new team were thumped 5-2 by Worthing.
Carroll, though, was given a starting spot up front for today’s trip to Bedford in the FA Cup second qualifying round.
And he even wore the captain’s armband.
However, the big forward was sent for an early bath just before half-time.
He saw a straight red for a foul when jumping for the ball.
And it did not take fans long to make jokes about Carroll getting a few weeks off to catch a few more late summer rays.
One tweeted: “Back to Ibiza again.”
Another wrote: “That’s three more games he’s out of.”
A third added: “Can’t make it up.”
A fourth moaned: “Unfit and unprofessional great signing.”
A fifth sarcastically quipped: “Great signing.”
And a final user joked: “He can go on holiday with his girlfriend again now lol waste of a signing!!”
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
