Linfield manager David Healy is the latest Irish League manager to come out and openly criticize match officials following his side’s 0-1 Co Antrim Shield Final defeat at Seaview last night.
Following on from last Friday evening’s very public thumbs down for the men in the middle from Glenavon boss Gary Hamilton, it’s clear frustration is growing, as pressure mounts in the ever-increasingly competitive, local environment.
Of course we rarely hear complaints, let alone praise for the men in black from a winning manager, but also fair to say there have been some high-profile gaffes recently such as the twice-struck penalty furore at Solitude, the mistaken identity dismissal at Mourneview, and a catalogue of errors again at Mourneview last Friday evening.
