Lynch unhappy with key calls in draw with Bohs
Derry City manager Tiernan Lynch expressed frustration over key refereeing decisions in his team's 1-1 draw with Bohemians in the League of Ireland Premier Division. Lynch questioned a second yellow card shown to Adam O'Reilly and a yellow card given to Bohs' Patrick Hickey for a handball, believing both incidents warranted different outcomes. Despite James Olayinka's first-half goal, Derry could not secure a win after Marcus Strods equalized in the second half.
