Despite two brilliantly taken goals the main talking point after Monday’s Big Two clash was the red card meted out to Shay McCartan.
The Glentoran midfielder received a second yellow card, unapparent at the time, and consequently a red for allegedly making a gesture towards opposition fans, presumably in the South Stand, after ten-man Glentoran equalized.
Who knew? Obviously Mr Davey the referee did. Yet it remained a mystery to many until reports emerged the following morning.
I assume McCartan was told to leave the Glentoran bench, although whether he did or not, this is not clear either.
