“It’s probably the first time I haven’t gone to shake the hand of a referee at the end of a game because probably at that time I would have picked up a four or five game ban,” Kearney said.
“I’ve cooled down a bit now, but probably at the same stretch it’s a very hard one for us to take.
“We can take loads of positives out of the game. I’ve just said to the lads in the changing room we played so well to get ourselves in front, but I’m disappointed with the manner of the two goals we conceded.

“The sending off has a massive impact on things though. For me Linfield should have had a sending off ten minutes prior to that if a yellow card had been handed out to Chris Hegarty for a two footed tackle two minutes into the game.
“It’s a yellow card in any league in the world.
“After 60 minutes it should have been 2-1 and they being down to ten men and it would have been game on for us to try and get something from it.
“Instead it pans out the opposite for something, which to be fair to Andy, he stands up and tells the ref straight away ‘OG’ didn’t touch him.
“The ref has chosen to ignore that and send him off anyway.”
