The Irish FA certainly don't do things by halves after banning two rucking managers for six games.
The bosses from Ballymena and Lisburn Distillery won't even be allowed to sit in the stand like any banished English gaffers. The hard-line suspension involves a half-mile exclusion zone from any stadium where their teams might be playing!
The pair were charged with excessive misconduct after a 2-2 draw between the sides nearly ended in a mass brawl. Ballymena were down to nine men when Lisburn equalised NINE minutes into stoppage time.
English FA take note. I bet neither manager does it again.
