Two appear in court charged with riotous behaviour
Two men have appeared in court today charged with riotous behaviour following trouble at last month’s football game between Glentoran and Linfield at the Oval.
Paul Harding, 28, from Cheviot Street in east Belfast, and William Joseph McQuiston, 22, from Highfield Drive, pleaded guilty to the charges.
The Belfast court heard how Mr McQuiston went voluntarily to the police when he saw his picture in a Sunday newspaper.
Both men have been banned from attending any sporting event as part of their bail conditions. Sentencing was deferred until 10 June.
On Thursday, a fourth man was charged with riotous behaviour in connection with the same incident which saw hundreds of rival supporters throw missiles and fight hand to hand battles with each other at the end of the game.
The 19-year-old is expected to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court next week.
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.
