Aaron McCarey: Glentoran goalkeeper receives extra two-game ban from Irish FA

Glentoran keeper McCarey sees red for clash with teammate Burns

The Irish FA's Disciplinary Committee has handed Aaron McCarey an extra two-game ban after the Glentoran goalkeeper struck team-mate Bobby Burns.

McCarey was found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute at an IFA hearing on Wednesday night, with his additional ban starting on 8 November.

The Glens stopper had already received an automatic three-match suspension.

McCarey was red-carded for lashing out at Burns after Coleraine scored an equaliser in a 2-2 draw at the Oval.

• 'I'm more concerned about how we conceded the goal' - McDermott

The match took place on 16 October, with McCarey charged by the governing body later that week under Article 17 of their Articles of Association.

His initial three-match ban was for violent conduct, with McCarey having also grabbed defender Burns' shirt when he was on the ground.

Glentoran have the right to appeal the further two-match suspension.
