McKirdy is suspended

SWINDON Town will be without Harry McKirdy for their next three Sky Bet League Two matches after the striker was handed a ban by the FA for aggressive behaviour and improper conduct.

The 25-year-old was sent off in the 0-0 draw with Salford City at the start of the month following a second yellow card.

According to Sky Sports News, McKirdy went into referee Andy Woolmer’s changing room inside the stadium and threw a drink, which spilled onto the official’s clothing.

McKirdy admitted the charge and has been fined £1,500.

He has already served the onematch ban for his dismissal and has scored twice in League Two since returning to action. Last season he was the club’s top scorer with 23 goals.

He was shown the red card in the 43rd minute for a challenge on Salford’s Ryan Watson, having been booked for complaining to the referee in the 14th minute. McKirdy was also aggrieved at not being awarded a penalty kick.

The forward will be unavailable for Swindon’s next three League matches against Stockport this afternoon, as well Gillingham and Newport County.

Scott Lindsey’s Robins head to Stockport unbeaten in League Two since the opening day of the campaign. Swindon ended a run of draws by beating basement side Rochdale 3-0 at the County Ground last weekend.

Stockport, meanwhile, have taken just three points from their five matches so far.
