Loughgall boss Dean Smith has been handed a 15-game ban as punishment for his protests after Glentoran were awarded what proved to be a late match-winning penalty in last weekend’s Irish Premiership contest at Lakeview Park.
In post-match interviews, Smith described the penalty decision as “disgusting” as referee Shane McGonigle adjudged that Ben Murdock had handled in the area with Loughgall insisting the ball had instead hit their player in the face.
