Ryan McBride speaks to Derry Journal
McBride absolves Hoban of blame after horrific collision at Oriel Park
RYAN McBride has absolved Dundalk’s Patrick Hoban of all blame for his role in the horrific incident which hospitalised the Derry City defender on Monday night
.

Just want to add, Roddy's comments are totally disgusting, clear from seeing the incident that Hoban had no intention to do anyone with his own head, a new low even for Roddy
Surprised Roddy didn't blame the pitch
It's very simple, Roddy Collins should be given a slap on the wrist for his comments, but being Roddy Collins, he'll most certainly get away with it.

Have 'we' (league/FAI) a charge of bringing game in to disrepute?
Of course there is always the defamation route open to Hoban
Or he could headbutt Collins and render him unconscious.
Not that I'd condone that sort of behaviour, however hilarious it might be.

In case anybody hasn't seen it. There is no way you could claim that he intentionally meant to injure McBride after viewing this video. Hoban ended up receiving threats and abuse on twitter following Collin's antics.

How surprising that those dishing out the abuse can't write English good.

Don't think he meant it, do think it was accident, but I also think it was reckless and needless. He wasn't getting there. Accidents happen, of course, but calling a late spade, a late spade. Obviously, Collins should've kept it zipped too but hey, that's our Roddy.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Reasonable questions! Although it was obviously accidental, some referees would have given Hoban a second yellow.
Our Roddy? You actually want to be associated with that sort of bluff, bluster and character assassination?
If Roddy had complained that Hoban should have got a second yellow, there would be no fuss. It could have be deemed to be reckless. However, if we go down that road, how many challenges for headers would deemed to be reckless? I'd assume a large proportion.
It is his contention that Hoban deliberately charged into McBrides head that has people annoyed.
