St Potsball, Stephen Kenny, your team's won 3-1 tonight against Bohemians. Shamrock Road's been beaten in Derry City, so your team are back on top of the table. You must be really happy with that tonight. Yeah, I think we needed a big statement home win like that. And I think it was convincing to go... It's never happened to me in my whole career that I've conceded after eight seconds. I can't believe you concede a goal after eight seconds. You prepare the team well all week already and you concede after eight seconds. Second fastest goal in the League of Ireland history. Is that right?
What happened in the match between St Patrick's Athletic and Bohemians?
I can't believe it. You can't believe it when you're on the side of the watch and you're saying, how did that happen? You know? And so... to keep our composure and to go into one a half time we had to be happy with that yeah what was it about your team because you almost went into the ascendancy after the goal i thought pats were the better side then after that what was it about the team that saw them dig in and produce good football to get the equalizer after 10 minutes yeah yeah i think and that was the key taking it taking the opportunity uh ryan edmondson uh he's really harsh on himself incredibly harsh himself and you know we realise his value to the team because he's in his own box winning defensive headers he's running he's chasing people down on the last line he's closing people down he's been a physical present for us and people expect you to get 25 goals you know after 10 games you know he's got a
You know, he's got six already. He doesn't take penalties or anything, six from play, but he's just making a big contribution to his team. So two big goals tonight against Bowes, two against Shells, big Dublin derby, they're important goals. Absolutely. Going into halftime with the lead, how psychologically important was that for your team? Well, it was important we weren't behind after conceding that goal because the Bohemians are a very good team and they had a spell in the first half where they kept the ball really well. It was a little bit frustrating because they didn't really penetrate us but they had a lot of possession and they interchanged positions quite well, the way they interchanged positions.
We broke quickly and we have speed in areas and that helped us create a lot of chances there and from set plays we were quite dangerous as well. We're just delighted to get the win. We never take these games for granted. Just to get a big win like that is important. It's only three points, it's nothing else. It's early in the season and we've got two tough games.
How did St Patrick's Athletic recover from conceding a quick goal?
into the West next week, so we go Galway Friday and Sligo Monday, back-to-back away games. We've obviously lost Aidan Keane tonight, which was a massive blow for us. Aidan's been brilliant in training, he scored an unbelievable goal last week, and I'm absolutely gutted that he's pulled his time. Is that the same tie as before, is it? You had a tie last year, wasn't it? Well, yeah, earlier in the year it was a different injury I had. Yeah, I think last year you had a tie, wasn't he? Yeah, yeah. So I think, so, you know, it's a tough one for him because he's really knuckling down and... But it's a better squad, so we had to dig in. I did feel it was the midfield battle that was crucial for your team, and particularly Jamie Lennon, Keane Levy and Barry Bagley.
Three very different midfielders, but they all ran themselves into the ground tonight, and I thought that's where the battle was won. Would you agree? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was, yeah. The... Well, I'm not going to say the sort of optimism, but I felt individually and collectively they played very well. You know, like Barry Bagley gave an exhibition in recovering and tackling, where it's speed over the ground to actually, he looks second best, like to be behind the player to actually run.
