The referee did not reserve McIntyre for his gesture.
“Any internal disciplinary research, according to good employment practices, will continue to be confidential between the employee and the employer,” added Carrick Rangers.
The Chief of the Carrick Rangers, Stephen Baxter, insisted that the incident was lost when asked after the game, saying: “I honestly did not see it, I heard that the multitude roaring, but I didn’t see any impulse, so I have nothing to say.”
Cliftonville’s manager Jim Magilton said: “If he has done so, then he is lucky and only he will know.
“I have not seen it, so I cannot comment, but if he has put his hands on the boy in the ball and that is the rule, then he was lucky to not be sent.
“You will have to ask Jack McIntyre if he put his hands to the child or not.”
