In fairness it wasn't that bad, just incredibly frustrating. The big screen we have is class but when it's scrolling text is "Latest score: Wexford 0-2 Monaghan" it's sickening to watch us go a goal down and then struggle to get the winner. If Doherty hadn't lashed out we would have won the game. It's only the second time I've seen us this season but I thought we generally played quite well- McClean, Molloy and McCallion were outstanding. Athlone didn't have a shot until 5 mins into the second half and even when we went a man down we were still all over them. Frustrating stuff. It's not exactly advantage Monaghan but we really have to string together a couple of wins.
Also, I brought a friend to his second ever Derry game (first was against Cork last month) and he loved the whole experience- the atmosphere (which was good especially in the last 20 mins), the penalty drama, the goals, checking other scorelines, shouting at the ref and all that, so the evening wasn't a total washout.
