Newry City boss Darren Mullen insists the pressure is all on Ballymena United in tonight’s Samuel Gelston’s Whiskey Irish Cup semi-final at Mourneview Park.
The game has been marred by controversy since March 5 after Glentoran were found guilty of fielding an ineligible player, Joe Crowe, in the quarter-final (1-0) home win over Newry. It duly led to the Glens dismissal.
Mullen’s men had to wait until the Glens appeal was thrown out by the IFA before it was axed at arbitration level.
