ST PATRICK’S ATHLETIC striker Mikey Drennan will miss the first round of the Extra.ie FAI Cup after he was handed a four-match ban, three of which are for dissent.
Drennan was dismissed with two yellow cards in the latter stages of his side’s defeat to Dundalk last month for dissent, following a late challenge on Dundalk keeper Gary Rogers.

He has since been given a one-match ban for receiving five yellow cards as well as a three-match suspension for the dissent. The sanction means he will miss St Pat’s Extra.ie FAI Cup first-round clash with Bray Wanderers in Richmond Park on Friday 9 August.
“He just has to watch himself and you can’t be letting people down,” St Pat’s boss Harry Kenny told the Irish Mirror following that 1-0 defeat to the Lilywhites.
Earlier this year, Drennan was given an additional two-match suspension in addition to an automatic one-game ban after he received a red card for dissent in a clash with Bohemians.
The FAI have previously said they will be implementing a strict policy in relation to this offence.
Managers and captains of all clubs have been informed that players who use “foul, insulting or abusive language towards an official” could face at least a three-match ban.
