Yeah same with me also. Different times back then. Hopefully some day we will get those days again but I highly doubt it!Quote:

I'm gonna go on a rant here cuz I'm pi**ed off.
Obviously it's nice that we robbed a point at the end off a Cobh team who were all over us. But I've never walked out feeling so deflated after a 90th min goal than I did tonight.
I can't understand how he's only making 2 subs in that match (he only made the 3rd sub because of an injury so it was forced). That last 20-25 mins or so was crying out for more fresh legs. We had lads who were on yellow's, other lads clearly tired and other lads not doing good enough. People in the main stand were desperate for Manny or someone to come on. How could he have watched that 2nd half and thought we were doing enough with what we had?? I've never wanted a substitution more in my life, no one was even warming up. It was like the subs themselves knew they weren't getting on.
I don't know if he was trying to make a point or something. But that snatched draw was absolutely not down to a tactical masterclass. It was a hail mary ball crossed in that wasn't dealt with and we got a head on it. Our 2nd shot on target all game. That result should not excuse the performance and his decisions, and I hope the people who were ready to boo at the end but left happy instead remember that. It was a pi** poor 2nd half, and a complete joke that he only made 2 subs willingly.
If you at least empty the bench, have a right go and still lose the game, then at least you played your hand and can say you gave it a proper try. That should have been a loss tonight. There would have been boos at FT were it not for Campbell's goal. And in my opinion there still should have been. This is far from the first time that subs haven't been made quick enough/ at all when they were badly needed. But this was the worst case of it. Bench should have been long emptied before injury time. Getting fed up of this now
Might as well finish my rant, referee was a joke as well. Totally blind for a lot of things. And there was an incident where Campbell stood in front of the keeper holding the ball and he got booked for it. They're getting worse every week
