Tyrone act on spitting incident

The Tyrone County Board has moved swiftly to take action against the spectator accused of spitting at Donegal star Karl Lacey at the end of last Sunday’s Allianz FL tie at Omagh.

The supporter has been identified and issued with an undisclosed sanction. The board did not name the individual, nor did it give details of the punishment, but it is understood to be a lengthy suspension.

Lacey, who was not playing in the game due to injury, was spat upon as he walked down the players’ tunnel following Tyrone’s four-point win at Healy Park.
