What were the key moments in the Shamrock Rovers vs Shelbourne match?
football on off the ball I would like to think the will is there but you know the resources have to be found from somewhere to try and do that because you know you want your team to get stronger we want to be qualified for major tournaments that's how these girls are going to get better join in the obsession subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join Stephen real game in two halves tonight here in Talcott Park we're ultimately excited to come back from two goals down to pick up a point for 2-2 are you happy with the result in the end no I feel we should win the game We gave away one sloppy goal and then one, to be fair to our players, the referee points for a goal kick and the players stop.
And then he allows the play to go on and they score off the back of it. And that's really poor from the official, from the referee. That's not good enough. I think if you see it back, it's very clear that he points for a goal kick and our players stop. I know we should play to the whistle. When the referee's pointing for a goal kick, the players look at him, stop, and they go and score off the back of it. After the two goals, I thought we were excellent. I thought we controlled the game in every aspect and should win the game.
How did Stephen Bradley react to the referee's decisions during the game?
I was going to ask you about that second goal you've touched on already there. How much does that come into the players' minds when they see the referee point? Because we did look back and you can clearly see the referee goes to point for goal kick and then moves on with the play. How much does that affect the players when they see that? Just so we're clear, he doesn't go to point, he points. Referee points for a goal kick, players look to the ref more than anyone else. He points for a goal kick, our players stop. It's not good enough. It's really not good enough. If he's pointing for a goal kick, he obviously thought the ball was out or he heard that the ball was out.
What factors contributed to Shamrock Rovers' resilience after going down?
He's pointing, why doesn't he blow the whistle? It's awful. After that goal, your side did brilliantly bounce back in two goals in the space of eight minutes. How impressed are you with the resilience of your side that turned that around so quickly? You don't do what these players have done for the best part of seven years without having character and resilience and quality and desire. That's all there. That's what the group is made of. So that was never in doubt. We're just really disappointed that we've given them a head start in the game. Can I ask you about your strike partnership tonight?
How did the strike partnership perform in this derby match?
We haven't seen Aaron Green and John McGovern play up top from the start together in your team, and John McGovern was involved in both goals for your side. How impressed were you with his performance up top? Both of them were excellent, John and Aaron. John should possibly score in the second half, the 1v1, he maybe should lift it over him. And Aaron was excellent, his all-round game was excellent. Both of them were very, very good, and it's a partnership we will see more of. You will see different partnerships as the season goes, depending on who we're playing as well. but both are quality players You say you're disappointed knocking away with the three points we saw both defences quite difficult to break down in the second half why do you think your team couldn't find the breakthrough there?
Sometimes it happens you have to remember it's early in the season and that little bit of sharpness in the final tour will come with time there's little bits where we're over hitting or under hitting the pass the movement is not quite in sync and like I said that's quite normal early on in the season Hi Stephen Thank you Joey O'Brien, real game of two halves here tonight in Talcott Park and ultimately your side went 2-0 up and Seamus Crawford came back to get the point.
What was Joey O'Brien's assessment of the game outcome?
Were you happy with the point coming out of the game after that? Here, listen, I think we had two up out of ten how we started. I think we should have went three up probably. I think we had a chance there to go three up. We didn't take it.
