Larne manager Gary Haveron felt referee Christopher Morrison "couldn't wait" to produce the red card for Leroy Millar in his side's 1-1 draw against Linfield.
Millar, who had given the Inver Park side a first-half lead, was shown red in the 78th-minute for lunging into Ethan McGee which saw his net come to a premature end.
Haveron felt the midfielder had looked back to his best prior to his sending off and will review the incident.
"Leroy would be the first to say he hasn't been at his best in recent weeks but he got about his work tonight and it was a very good performance," Haveron told BBC Sport NI.
"He's gone in for a block tackle and the referee has sprinted over to send him off, couldn't wait to get over there.
"It's disappointing because it impacts on the game and because his individual performance was excellent. We'll have to look back at it and go through a process."
The draw saw Larne move three clear at the top of the table from Coleraine, with Linfield a further two points behind in third.
Following disappointing defeats by Portadown and Carrick Rangers, the Larne boss was happy his side found a response against the Blues despite now going four league games without a win.
"We know our last couple of performances haven't been good enough and I have to take full responsibility," he added.
"We had to bounce back from that and show our fans what it means to play for the football club and I thought we did that."
