Never heard of a club suspending a player because of "banter". That's a first.

The Larne player was John Herron, formerly of Celtic and Scotland under-21s. There have been infinitely worse in the Irish League over the years including jailbirds who have done time for paramilitary offences and other nasty stuff. I would not rule Herron returning to the Irish League when the fuss has died down as Jay Donnelly and others have done. I suppose times have changed since the war years and there is less tolerance for overt sectarianism. The kindest thing that can be said about Lafferty is that he is a moron. I don’t know if he is still afflicted with the same serious gambling addiction that has cost him most of the money he has made playing professional football but he is in the twilight of his career anyway and he could be on a real downward slide if Kilmarnock sack him. He has forced them to consider it.

Not that it excuses anything, because he has previous for sectarianism going back decades, but his sister died at a very young age recently.

IFA announced an hour before kick off that Conor McMenamin was withdrawn from the squad due to a historic video of him making a sectarian comment. (Singing the lyrics of Celtic Symphony). 

Were OWC players given the option to wear black armbands ? Most players are but some aren't..

No excuse for Lafferty, and the IFA was quite right to send him home.
