John Carson had been hit with a retrospective three-match suspension following a challenge on Linfield's Ethan McGee back in August
Ballymena United have confirmed that Josh Carson's "high-profile" case has been resolved. The midfielder was initially shown a yellow card for a challenge on Linfield's Ethan McGee on the opening day of the season last August which was later upgraded to a red.
Ballymena United said in a statement: "Ballymena United are delighted to have won their appeal in the high-profile Josh Carson case, resulting in his three-game suspension being overturned. The Appeals Board said ‘the misconduct complained of had already been dealt with in the match official's report', a point which was highlighted by Mr Bryson.
Irish FA Senior Refereeing Manager Andrew Davey reportedly emailed the Disciplinary Manager at the Irish FA about the tackle, referring the matter under Article 34.4 of the IFA's Disciplinary Code. A Notice of Complaint was issued against Carson, sanctioning him with a three-match ban.
