Alright, so they're not all wearing balavlavas, and there is barely a
mortar gun to be seen. In fact I would be surprised if most of the
protagonists had a grasp on the finer nuances of the Good Friday
agreement. But I think it is fair to say that the personnel involved in
this Irish Cup game between Newry v Larne may have one or two
unresolved issues.
All was going smoothly as the game edged towards the final whistle.
Premiership Newry had gone 2-1 up, and then visiting captain decided
the way to the hearts of women everywhere would be to seemingly attempt
to gouge out the eyes of an opponent.
Both benches then took
exception to this, as the gates of Hades were temporarily opened. A
breif square dance ensued, during which Newry's Cullen Feeney was
soundly clobbbered in the head, but miraculously was left unscathed.
Unsuprisingly, everyone
involved is now clambering over each other to be the most
regretful, with authorities and clubs vowing to launch thorough PR drives
investigations into the match.
