Glentoran winger Dylan Connolly has been suspended for 12 matches after a post-match brawl with Larne in the Irish Premiership. The incident occurred at Inver Park, where the goalless draw was enough for Larne to secure second place and European qualification at the expense of the Glens. Players and staff from both clubs have faced sanctions by the Irish FA, with Connolly receiving the most severe punishment. Larne duo Aaron Donnelly and Conor McKendry, along with Glentoran's Fuad Sule and Christie Pattisson, have been suspended for nine matches each. The quartet were all shown a red card by referee Jamie Robinson after the final whistle, and have been handed an additional six-game ban on top of the three matches that came with their dismissals for violent conduct. Glentoran director Paul Millar and club physio Declan O'Donnell have also been suspended, for five and six matches respectively. The club has declined to comment on the sanctions, while Larne said they will review the decision before deciding whether to appeal. Glentoran midfielder Joe Thomson will miss the European play-off semi-final due to an accumulation of yellow cards. The Glens will host either Cliftonville or Crusaders in their play-off semi-final, depending on the outcome of the Irish Cup final. The suspensions will have a significant impact on Glentoran's remaining matches, with the club facing a tough road ahead in the European play-offs. The Irish FA's decision to hand out suspensions and fines will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike, as the club looks to move forward from the incident. Glentoran's season has been marked by ups and downs, but the club will be looking to finish strong in the European play-offs.
