Sligo Rovers have controversial Patrick McClean red card rescinded

Referee Damien MacGraith shows a red card to Patrick McClean of Sligo Rovers

Sligo Rovers have had a red card rescinded for the second successive match after their appeal over Patrick McClean’s sending off at St Pat’s was upheld by the FAI.

Bit O’Red boss John Russell fumed over Damien MacGraith’s decision in yesterday’s 3-0 Richmond Park defeat as in the 42nd minute, with the game scoreless, McClean was shown a straight red for a trip on Mason Melia.
