THERE was an inevitable fall out yesterday after last Sunday's regrettable incidents during the Derry Bohemians game at the Brandywell.

The FAI announced that they would hold a full formal enquiry into the incidents at the game, while the Bohemians' directors emerged from a meeting in the morning to declare their disgust at the whole episode and their complete support for James Coll, who is pursuing legal action to clear his name in the light of his sending off.

The FAI enquiry may ultimately fall under the umbrella of the Senior Clubs' Disciplinary Committee, which comes under the auspices of the National League. The committee's next meeting is scheduled for January 6th and the National League president, Michael Hyland, revealed that all the officials participating in the affair had been asked to submit preliminary reports by fax yesterday in advance of the meeting.

The latter would consist of reports from the referee, Paddy Dempsey, the referee's assistants, the match observer and the referee's inspector. Representatives from both clubs might also be asked to attend the meeting. The FAI enquiry, were it to be a separate entity, would incorporate reports from the referee, the match observer and the two clubs.

Beyond that, Hyland was reluctant to comment too much, as he was not at the game and had not seen television coverage of the incidents. However, he did say "It was not a good advertisement for the National League and all in all conveyed a bad image for the domestic game.

Following the meeting of the Bohemians officers yesterday, the club issued a statement declaring that they were "saddened and disgusted with the events that occurred at the Brandywell yesterday.

As a result the club wishes tot state the following James Coll is pursuing legal action to clear his name with regard to the incident that happened at the Brandywell yesterday (22-12-96). Bohemians' Football Club are 100 per cent supportive in this matter."

Derry City will also be holding an internal enquiry into the affair before deciding whether or not to discipline Healy.
