About this deal

Following a year on remand in Crumlin Road jail, Belfast, he was tried and sentenced to ten years in December 1977, immediately joining the blanket men in H3, and eventually finding himself sharing a cell with his Dungiven friend and comrade, Liam McCloskey, continuing to do so until he took part in the thirty-man four-day fast which coincided with the end of the original seven-man hunger strike last December. LONG KESH Spending the majority of his career refereeing association Football Kevin Lynch spent the final eight years of his career referring for the Football League, he acted as the assistant referee at the semi-finals of both the FA and Football League Cups for almost a decade and held many appointments overseas. He worked as a football speaker and assistant referee for FIFA for a number of years and counts overseeing the 1992 UEFA Cup Final between Torino and Ajax amongst his career highlights. Though still only a small town of a few thousand, Dungiven has been growing over the past twenty years due to the influx of families like the Lynches from the outlying rural areas. It is an almost exclusively nationalist town, garrisoned by a large and belligerent force of RUC and Brits. In civil rights days, however, nationalists were barred from marching in the town centre. He officiated on a variety of club matches and boasts no less than three appearances at the legendary Wembley Stadium, including officiating the 1989 FA Charity Shield, the 1882 4 th Division Play-Off final and also acted as the fourth official for the Football League’s Centenary Challenge Match between Sunderland and Liverpool.

However, there was another onlooker at the side of the pitch, and he wasn't too happy with Lynch once the news filtered through that the game was set to be cancelled.Former Southport player Lynch has previously been Chesterfield first team and senior development coach.

Obviously we can’t afford to look too far ahead, and Rushall is a massive game in its own right,” he said. “They’re a team that can cause sides problems, as we saw this weekend. They’re big, strong and organised. In Fermanagh, Derrygonnelly beat holders Ederney 2-13 to 0-9 in a replay and make it through to the semi-finals. Lynch’s side remain firmly in the Evo-Stik League’s Premier Division play-off hunt despite dropping valuable home points in midweek. And the manager feels the next three games could be key to his side’s ambitions. Kevin joined the INLA around this time, maybe because of this incident in part, but almost certainly because of his national awareness coming from his cultural love of Irish sport, as well as his courage and integrity, made him determined to stand up both for himself and his friends. It is going to take a little time to work with the players, access them and get their fitness levels to where they need to be to play the football I like to play.

Haaland’s goals have ensured Dortmund are well position to be Bayern’s closet rivals for this year’s title, but the early part of the season has seen an unexpected third challenger emerge for the championship. We are looking for someone who has the experience of playing and managing at Evo-Stik level or above,” he said. “But we are keeping an open mind.” In many ways he is the ideal replacement for Ryan. He is one for the future, with a great temperament, and he will do himself justice with this opportunity I’m sure. Sending off 5 players (a Football League record) during a game between Wigan Athletic and Bristol Rovers - 4 of them from the Bristol team!

He says, 'do you realise I've got a wife and four kids to support', I said, 'well they won't go hungry for a few days with all those f***ing pies'. However, the pie man got the last laugh after he kept some from Boxing Day only to produce them to Lynch when the fixture went ahead. Although Lynch would only say he “needed a fresh challenge” it is understood the 38-year-old is being lined up as first-team coach at League Two outfit Chesterfield. I'll be relying heavily over the next couple of weeks on Rob Hopley and Mike Lea, who know the club inside out and have been through good times as well as bad," Lynch added.

The Haaland-led Borussia Dortmund come in as the most likely to end Die Roten's long reign at the top with most bookies, with odds fluttering around the 7/1 mark, while RB Leipzig follow at around 14/1. He has real quality, and a top professional attitude, which is what we want from him. That is what we signed him for, and is what we are signing Saul for, they have been there and seen it, and can provide great competition for places. Appearing to be almost perturbed at Kevin Lynch's temerity in notching a score, Slaughtneil still had time fire over three straight points before the interval - with two of them coming from Rogers, who was operating in the full-forward line despite wearing the number eight shirt. Sometimes it can be hard to get your message across just shouting from the sidelines, but Robbie is very vocal on the field, and that will be important for us. It was one of the worst performances we have managed all year. We just never turned up, and that was hard to take. I made my feelings known afterwards.”

Since they were sentenced in 1977, both Dungiven men suffered their share of brutality from Crumlin Road and Long Kesh prison warders, Kevin being ‘put on the boards’ for periods of up to a fortnight, three or four times. Ferguson's mind-games with referees and opposing managers helped him win 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, five FA Cups, and four League Cups at Old Trafford. He infamously piled on the pressure on Kevin Keegan and Newcastle United when he suggested referees were favouring the Magpies.

And he came up to me at the end of the game and he said 'I've got to tell you son, that's the way to handle me when I get stroppy'. I said 'oh that’s okay, no problem'. So we always got on well."
