DEAN Shiels believes Larne’s penalty shouldn’t have been awarded after the Bannsiders lost out to the Inver Reds yesterday afternoon…

After Declan McManus cancelled out Andy Ryan’s opener, the visitors would leave with all three points after referee Shane Andrews pointed to the spot after Charles Dunne was adjudged to have fouled Tiarnan O’Connor inside the area – although footage appears contact was outside the box.

Shiels further remarked on his side’s slow start to proceedings after Ryan made the breakthrough with just six minutes on the clock – but he felt they totally dominated thereafter as McManus equalised five minutes before the break.

The head coach also highlighted how there was a change in system to look at a few things, as well as the objectives for the final two games of the campaign.
