Fourth man charged over football riot

A fourth man has been charged with riotous behaviour following last month’s trouble at the Glentoran versus Linfield Irish league fixture at the Oval.

The 19-year-old is expected to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court next week in connection with the trouble which saw hundreds of rival supporters throw missiles and fight hand to hand battles with each other at the end of the game.

On Wednesday two men charged with the similar offences in relation to the incident are to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Friday.

Last week, a 20-year-old man appeared in court accused of riotous behaviour in connection with the same incident at the Irish League fixture.

Steven Moore, from Hood Court in Antrim, was released on bail on condition that he does not attend Irish league games, abstains from alcohol and reports to the police three times a week.
