Peterhead boss Jim McInally has hit out at the SFA and referee Chris Graham after an appeal against Simon Ferry’s red card was dismissed. It emerged this week that the 31-year-old was also given a red card after a melee broke out between both players following the initial sending-off. Ferry will miss Peterhead’s next four matches, starting with today’s League One clash against Raith Rovers at Stark’s Park, after their appeal against the first red was rejected at Hampden. McInally said: “I’m shocked at the decision, but I suppose I shouldn’t be because the committee always seem keen to protect their referees. “That’s the most galling part, that it puts Simon out for four games – we’ll be without him until February 8.
