REFEREE ROB HARVEY issued two second-half red cards to Finn Harps and sent their manager to the stands as the Donegal club fell to a 3-1 defeat to Sligo Rovers.
Harps had just levelled the game at 1-1, Mark Russell’s 59th minute effort cancelling out Ryan de Vries’ early opener, when it all went awry at the Showgrounds.
Midfielder Mark Coyle was first to get his marching orders, picking up a second yellow on the hour for taking down Junior at the edge of the area.
Manager Ollie Horgan was sent to the stands soon after for dissent towards an official.
