How did the match against Dundalk unfold?
football on Off the Ball do you ever listen to that with the Spanish commentary Ancara Messi Ancara Messi Ancara Messi go go go go go that's actually a good affirmation yeah it's not bad join in the obsession subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join I'm here with Stephen Bradley in Tala Stadium your side have just conceded a last minute equaliser at home to Dundalk I mean first I suppose how frustrated are you with the result on the night in the game where you really dominated especially in the first half
More frustrated with the performance, if we're being honest. I think the results can happen. That's not something we get caught up in. That's usually a by-product of what you produce on the pitch. And I felt we were well below our levels tonight. There was moments in the game, of course, there was moments of brilliance. Graeme Bourke at times in the first half was unplayable. and we played off the back of that at times but in general we weren't good enough and you have to give Dundalk credit and I think they deserved a point and kept fighting and got the point in the end.
You made eight changes from the win here on Friday against St.
What were Stephen Bradley's thoughts on the team's performance?
Patrick's Delic. I mean, one, I suppose it shows the depth of your squad, but also maybe the stop start to the season that you've had. I mean, there's eight players there who've had their first run out from the off in the season so far. We're already in the fourth week, essentially, of the season. How tough is that to try and build a bit of momentum and get a bit of stability in the team?
Yeah, but we're well used to that. It's fine. The games are called off. It is what it is. The weather's the weather.
How do squad changes affect team momentum?
No one can affect that. The players that have come in are top players. We know for different reasons we haven't performed tonight. Like you said, it's the second game. We'll only get better and stronger and fitter, like we always do. But just tonight, we're just a bit frustrated because our normal level's just written there.
I don't know if you had a chance to look back after the Dundalk equaliser at the end, but it's a mistake from Ed McGinty which we're not really used to seeing in a Shamrock Rover shirt. I suppose, first of all, is that something you expect to see from Ed? I presume it's not. But also, how disappointed about yourself, but also him maybe with his own performance there at the end?
What was the reason behind the late equaliser by Dundalk?
Look, Ed's the best keeper in the country and has been for a long time. On Friday, he makes a world-class save against Jamie Lennon. He has no right to get there and does. It happens. What happened tonight happens. He's human. What we do know is he's the best in the country. More often than not, Ed saves us points. It's not about Ed tonight. It's not about Ed tonight.
How did Jack Brown perform in his first start of the season?
It's about us not reaching our performance levels and And when you don't do that, things like the 90th minute equaliser can happen. Like I said, credit to Lundock, they kept going and got their point.
Jack Brown had his first start tonight upon his return from playing for Dubai Irish over the course of the end of last season. Were you happy with his performance out there today? He had a brilliant ball in for Pico's goal and the same with a corner about 20 minutes later which looked like your side could have got a second. How impressed were you with his return?
Yeah, I thought Jack done really well. I thought he worked extremely hard. Again, it's his first game start in a long time in this league, in this country.
What is the current situation regarding Michael Noonan and the club?
So, yeah, I thought he worked extremely hard. He has an assist tonight, could have two or three assists with the delivery. We know that quality is there. And again, like Jack's like everyone else, he will only get better the fitter and the stronger and the deeper we go in the season.
The man who was up front for your side tonight, Michael Noonan, has had a lot of talk about him off the field maybe in the last couple of weeks. I mean, we used to talk about Michael Noonan for the last year for all the stuff he's done on the pitch. But the story obviously broke in the Irish Times the other day about a report from his family to the FA, which then in turn got a report to the FAI.
