O’Callaghan: I’m innocent

FORMER eircom Player of the Year, George O’Callaghan has protested his innocence after being sent off in Ipswich Town’s 1-0 defeat to Watford on Saturday.

The former Cork City star, making his full debut for the Tractor Boys in the FA Cup Fifth Round tie, received a straight red in first half stoppage time from referee Steve Bennett.

O’Callaghan was adjudged to have kicked Watford centre- back Danny Shittu after the two had challenged near the touchline. The Irishman insisted there had been no intent on his part.
