    Wasn't at this game, but what was so poor about the performance? Did we create many chances?
    I'm curious particularly as to why King didn't make a change until very late in the game, if it was so bad.

    Muhammet Demir is an absolute nut. Pulls down Cunningham for a free and then when he's on the ground gives him two knees to the side. Obvious red but Muhammet disagrees by then pushing the ref and having to be restrained by Turkish players/coaches. Character.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    We did create a couple of chances through Cunningham and Collins but we lacked urgency and didn't move the ball quickly enough (in comparison to Turkey). I thought Collins was isolated up front. Our two central midfielders never controlled the game.

    McLoughlin and Cunnignahm were the pick of the irish.

    I can only assume that King was satisfied to take a draw and that is why he didn't make changes until late in the game.

    Is there a reason Joe Mason wasn't named in the squad? Especially with Rhys Murphy pulling out I thought Joe would be called up.
