An Irish FA Appeals Committee has ruled in favour of Crusaders in their appeal against the Irish FA Disciplinary Committee in respect of sanctions imposed on player Gerard Doherty and manager Stephen Baxter.
The Appeal Board has ruled that the delay in dealing with the matter had meant that the sanctions were not considered as served in line with the Cliftonville arbitration ruling, that this was unfair and that the suspensions should now be considered as spent in line with this decision.
