The photographer involved in an incident with Shelbourne chief executive Ollie Byrne at the end of Monday's fractious Premier Division match between the league champions and Drogheda United has made an official complaint over his alleged mistreatment to the Eircom League.

Terry Collins, Drogheda United's PRO, will lodge the complaint through the club after he was grounded after the final whistle. He was taking photographs as players made their way to the dressingroom tunnel.

Collins claims Byrne forcefully took hold of his camera lens. Both men grappled with the camera and Collins ended up on the ground but it has been confirmed neither party was punched.Byrne says he simply requested Collins to stop taking photographs. He admitted placing his hands on the camera lens.

It has also emerged Shelbourne's Stuart Byrne was sent off by Feighery in the tunnel after the match. The midfielder slapped the ball out of Feighery hands while confronting the referee after the whistle.
