Glentoran: McMenamin set to be out for two months with McCartan in line for seven-game ban

Shay McCartan is in line for a seven-game suspension after breaking a bone in his foot and Glentoran have suffered a double blow.

Mc Menamin was hurt in Glentoran's loss to Cliftonville.

The scans on Friday confirmed the injury.

The three-game ban stemming from his red card will be extended to seven because of his protest to the match officials.

McMenamin was forced off in the first half of the game against Cliftonville, having started just over a week after it had been stated that he had sustained a leg injury.

McMenamin was forced to leave the game with a foot injury.

The manager of Glentoran told the radio station that he was expecting to hear about the ban.

If there is an appeal, the east Belfast club would consider it.

"I know the panel will be sending out a letter at this point in time," he said.

I don't know if we got that letter last night or this morning.

A straight red card is a lot. All the decisions can be appealed.

I will have to look at the referee's report which I haven't seen yet but if it was three plus four, I think anyone would consider that very lengthy.

I have been in Irish League games for a while now and some of the language is colorful.
