Donegal Celtic rage over delay to Watson hearing

Donegal Celtic assistant manager Pat McAllister has slammed the Irish FA’s delay in hearing his club’s appeal against the docking of three Championship points over a month ago.

Celtic’s Liam Watson was found to have played under a suspension carried over from his short loan spell with Ballymena United reserves last season, which Celtic were unaware of.

Frustrated Pat McAllister said: “The delay on our appeal against the loss of points is an absolute joke. Where else would something like this happen? How can the clubs we are competing against; be allowed to make a decision they will benefit from? It’s a farce; but does it surprise anyone?”

Meanwhile in the second round of the Co-operative Insurance tomorrow Ards host Limavady United, Banbridge Town tackle Loughgall, Carrick entertain Ballyclare and Larne travel to Portadown.
