Drogheda United co-chair and Sinn Féin TD Joanna Byrne says there’s no place in the game for the “mindless behaviour” she witnessed in Oriel Park at the Co Louth derby last Friday. Dundalk are still assessing the level of damage done to the playing surface due to flares thrown on the pitch from away fans. Drogheda are braced for a heavy fine from the FAI and a ban on away supporters.
