BAN… Whitey Anderson
Ballinamallard United manager Whitey Anderson has been hit with a three-game touchline ban by the IFA.
Anderson received his suspension for comments made in an interview with BBC Sport NI after his club’s 2-0 defeat at home to Cliftonville on 12 October.
He described referee Colin Burns’ decision to send off goalkeeper Alvin Rouse on seven minutes as “shocking”.
Anderson claimed his club have been on the wrong end of a number of decisions in games against Belfast teams.
The IFA Disciplinary Committee has made the charge in accordance with Article 14.2 of the IFA Disciplinary Code which relates to ‘Media & Social Media Comments’.
The Committee has sanctioned Anderson with a three-game touchline suspension – three times the minimum for such an offence – and imposed a £150 on Ballinamallard United FC which is twice the minimum fine under Article 14.2.
