'I'm still waiting on that phone call' - Baxter fumes at fixture schedulingCrusaders manager Stephen Baxter has said he was "ignored" by the Northern Ireland Football League after he phoned them to discuss Friday's rescheduled Premiership game at Ballymena. Crusaders won 1-0 with Baxter saying the match was moved from its original Saturday slot "at a week's notice". An appeal by Crusaders against NIFL's decision to reschedule the fixture was dismissed by an Irish FA appeals board. "To give players six days rest, this game was brought forward at a week's notice. Baxter was unhappy that Crusaders travelled to Ballymena on Friday three days after having beaten Portadown at Shamrock Park.
