Lafferty banned

Last updated : 25 August 2007 By Tony Scholes
The ban comes following an incident in our last pre-season friendly against Apollon Limassol played in Bad Goisern in Austria on Friday 3th August.

He was dismissed during the second half, a most ridiculous decision when it looked to most observers as if it was the Limassol player who should have been sent off. Clearly the referee chose to report it to the Austrian FA and they in turn have now forwarded that to our FA.

Kyle's suspension started yesterday, and he will have to serve a three match suspension. With today's game being called off that will now extend his time out of the side and he will not be available for us again until we play Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Tuesday 18th September.
