Lynch Unhappy with Ref Decisions in Bohemians Draw

Derry City manager Tiernan Lynch expressed frustration with referee decisions following his side's 1-1 draw against Bohemians, including a controversial red card and a yellow card for handball.

Derry City manager Tiernan Lynch was left unhappy with key decisions in his side's 1-1 draw away to Bohemians. The Candystripes were reduced to 10 men when Adam O'Reilly received a second yellow card, while Lynch questioned why Patrick Hickey only received a yellow for catching the ball with his hands when Dipo Akinyemi appeared through on goal.

James Olayinka had given Derry the lead before Marcus Strods equalized. Despite his frustration, Lynch praised his side's character after going down to 10 men. The match also saw the return of captain Michael Duffy from injury as a second-half substitute. newsindata.com
