Former Cork City star George O'Callaghan was sent off in his full debut for new club Ipswich Town today.
Ipswich travelled to Vicarage Road to face Watford in the FA Cup fifth round but O'Callaghan was dismissed in first half-injury time.
The midfielder was shown a straight red by referee Steve Bennett for aiming a kick at Watford's Danny Shittu after the pair clashed near the touchline.
O'Callaghan joined Ipswich in January - where he had been on trial for three months - after losing his place in the Cork side following a well documented falling-out with manager Damien Richardson.
He had made four substitute appearances for Jim Magilton's side before now.
Compatriots and team-mates Alex Bruce and Billy Clare (substitute) also featured for Ipswich in the club's 1-0 defeat to the Premiership strugglers.
Stephen Ward scored his second goal for Wolves since joining Mick McCarthy's side in the transfer window. The former Bohemians player netted the club's second goal in their 2-1 home win over Burnley.
Having seen compatriot and team-mate Andy Keogh go close with a header just seconds earlier, Ward raced unchallenged into the Burnely box and finished low past goalkeeper Danny Coyne.
Former Republic of Ireland striker David Connolly netted his ninth goal of the season as Roy Keane's Sunderland hammered Southend United 4-0 at the Stadium of Light.
Dublin youngster Anthony Stokes, who scored his first goal for the club last week, came off the bench with 18 minutes remaining while Corkman Liam Miller assisted Stern John for the team's final goal.
Jason Byrne, the former Shelbourne striker, spent most of the afternoon on the Cardiff City bench. He was only introduced with a minute to play despite team-mate and fellow striker Michael Chopra's earlier sending off in the 1-0 win over Leeds.
Republic of Ireland defender Paul McShane played the full 90 minutes as West Bromwich Albion twice came from behind to force a 2-2 FA Cup draw with Middlesbrough.
Clinton Morrison's disappointing season continues. The Republic of Ireland striker has struggled for form and goals this season and despite playing the last half hour, his Crystal Palace side lost 1-0 to his former club Birmingham.
