What were the key moments leading up to the match?
Football on Off the Ball. People say to me, do you miss football, Keith? It's the days leading up, like a big game against the Czech Republic, being in the hotel, waking up the morning of it and turning on the news and seeing everything on RT and, you know, just getting that feeling in your stomach of it's coming, something big is coming here. They're the moments I miss. Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join. Off the Ball Daily.
Bohemian's boss, Alan Reynolds, you've finished with a point tonight at Daly Mountain Park. How do you assess the team's performance tonight?
A little bit flat. I give them credit, in fairness to them, they were very good tonight. But on our own performance, a little bit flat. Looked a little bit tired at times for some reason. Feel we could do better. But look, we didn't play well here tonight. We've come out, you know, and we take a draw and get out of here. Because I think on the share of it, possibly they edged it.
The second half, Dundalk came out, and to be fair, looking from a neutral point of view, they showed a bit more desire there, a bit more character in that second half compared to your own team. Was that disappointing?
Yeah, I'm not going to criticise the other lads. They've been unbelievable since the start of the season. We're going to have nights like this where we're not going to be 100%, but it's important you don't lose the games when you're not at your best, and that's what's happened. You look at Dawson Devoy, Ross Tierney, Jordan Flowers, they've been brilliant since the start of the season. So, Was it where we wanted it to be? No, but look, we take the point.
How did Alan Reynolds assess Bohemian's performance?
We're not beaten here tonight.
Yeah. Was there anything in the first half that you were kind of thinking, I need to fix that at halftime and look for something better in the second half that maybe didn't work out?
We knew that press, that they go full press on us, so we just need to bypass that if we needed to and bring people into play, our forward runs, stuff like that. But we need to be calm and give better angles when we are in possession, be brave. That's the things we spoke about, being brave, that we can handle it and play under that pressure, which, look, we weren't at our best tonight.
Bobby Burns, very good footballer, we saw him with Galway United here last season. He moves into midfield and he seemed to cause an awful lot of problems. Was the fact that maybe you weren't expecting him in that position, did that maybe throw the way you approached the match or whatever?
No, but look at me and Dave, a lot of good players in fairness. So whether it's Bobby Burns in there or whoever it is, Harry Groom, they're all good players and that. So you have to give them respect, but you have to... be good enough to deal with that, you know, and we just didn't, we weren't, you know, we were disappointed, but I'm pleased with how we've been since the start of the season. We've been excellent in a lot of spells, but just a little bit flat tonight.
Kasper Raska pulled off some brilliant saves there tonight as well, didn't he?
Yeah, yeah, and I think he's complaining about the goal that was scored there, so I need to look back on it, but yeah, he's been really, really good. He was disappointed after overs with the goal, but overall, since the start of the season, there's a lot of them being really good. They've been top class, top class. We get a break for three or four days and we get going again.
I was going to say to you about their goal because there seemed to be some people in the stands saying that perhaps it was a foul on Kasper Raskin. Did you get a chance to look at it?
No, I haven't looked back on it. I think we could prevent it before that. Prevent the cross coming in. We're just a little bit disappointed with that.
Still at the top of the table going into the international break. Is that break coming at a good or a bad time for your team?
Well, if you look at tonight, you're probably saying it's coming at a good time.
What did Ciaran Kilduff think about Dundalk's second-half performance?
But look, there's no problem.
