Two men have been arrested for public order offences during clashes with GardaĆ­ at the Tallaght Stadium in Dublin tonight.

It happened during the Setanta Cup tie between Shamrock Rovers and Linfield.

A garda was thrown from his horse outside the stadium.

The trouble flared after a section of Linfield supporters managed to run the Union Jack up a flag pole inside the ground.



Shamrock Rovers supporters had to be cleared from the pitch after a goal from Ciaran Kilduff and there were also reports of sectarian chanting from both sets of fans throughout the game.
