How did the game feel frustrating until the last 15 minutes?
Alan Reynolds, looked like it was going to be quite a frustrating night for Bohemians there until Electric last 15 minutes. Just talk us through those 15 minutes first before we get on to the game.
Yeah, look, it was cagey, as you said, through the game. The last 15 minutes for Electric, the crowd were bouncing. I suppose we were brave in our substitutions. A lot of attacking players on it, Harry Vaughan, Dale Rooney, Dougie, they all make an impact in that end. Great character, I would have thought, from 1-0 down. What a way to win it. The last game in Daly Mount, the last European game, and Ross Tierney, who's a legend here. He's come in and he wears his heart on his sleeve and bows me so much to him. To end it with a goal like that was one of the best ones you've seen.
those 74 minutes or so before that goal were really frustrating for your side they made it tough for you and it probably looked like you were knocking down the door a couple of times we just couldn't find that goal to get the I suppose the top off the performance yeah I think the challenge is and what people struggle with is League of Ireland is
crash, bang and roll up and you get after each other and all that. This one is tactical and it's different and the crowd are looking and going, what's going on here? They want the normal but I felt after half an hour and they scored, they sat back and said, we'll take this, got tired and we went through the gears and I thought we were really strong and we finished really strong as I said and I think we just, we deserved that at the end but we had to work hard for it.
What substitutions did Alan Reynolds make to change the match?
Did you get a sense throughout the game that they were trying to frustrate the side? There was a couple of little niggly fouls and stuff throughout it as well?
Yeah, yeah, I would have thought so, but look at me, that's part and parcel of it, I'm sure. There'll be plenty of that over in Kosovo next week, you know, but it's half-time.
It's probably no coincidence that those last 15 minutes as well, the fitness from your side, were in the middle of a season against a side who were just kicking off their season.
That's it, and it's something we spoke about all week, to go, look, just keep the momentum, keep the tempo of everything up, and it's difficult because teams are trying to spoil it, But you try and do it and as it goes on, you get the rewards later on, which we did.
You spoke about Ross Tierney there and him being a legend in his club. Some of the players who've played at this place in Europe through the years, Zinedine Zidane, Henrik Larsson, and he has scored the final ever goal in this place. It must be pretty special for both you and him.
Yeah, look, it is. I'm delighted. I'm so proud of him and proud of the players and all the staff. They're absolutely top class. But when you hear all those names are rolling off, what a place like this is. The history of Daly Mount is unreal. And what a fitting way to finish it by somebody who's come through the ranks here at this club and gone away and come back. And the club means so much to them.
Looking ahead then to next Thursday in Kosovo, what are you expecting from them? They're presumed they're going to have to come out of that shape that they sat in for.
Yeah, they're a good team. I think a lot of people disrespected them. I think they thought this was a given that you'd come here and you'd win comfortably. I knew that wouldn't be the case. They dominated the last two games. Connor Key went into low blocks and Bowdoin come and break us down and had a go, say, for the last 20 minutes over there. But I knew it would be challenging and we've got to respect them and it'll be difficult.
I'm Ramos. Congratulations tonight. Best of luck next week. All the best. Thank you. Ozturne, a 2-1 win in Europe, but maybe more importantly for you personally, the last ever goal in Europe in Dailymouth has gone to yourselves. Talk us through it.
Yeah, obviously we knew going into the game it was the last European game so we wanted to make sure we came away with the win.
