Graham Kelly scores Larne’s first goal
McDaid provided an assist and scored one on a glorious night for owner Kenny Bruce, manager Lynch and their team, but the striker should not have been on the pitch when he delivered those match defining moments.
He clearly ought to have been sent off early on following his shocking foul on Blues skipper Mulgrew. Referee Ian McNabb was in a good position to see the incident yet somehow managed to miss what was a nasty high challenge.
It was a red card all night long.
Given that another Irish League official, Jamie Robinson, reversed a decision days after Linfield's league game with Glenavon last month, which saw Blues striker Christy Manzinga being handed a three- match ban by the Irish FA, one wonders will referee McNabb feel he should do the same following last might's decision.
