00:00Stephen, two wins from two. How are they, lads?
00:03Yeah, I think it was a long bus journey home from Galway, of course.
00:07We sort of only took a point from our first two games this season.
00:10I couldn't actually speak to anyone there.
00:13So good to lose games and players that we knew that it was a three-game week
00:18and we want to excel in three games like that.
00:20It's a good mentality of the group to deal with all the setbacks that we did on Friday.
00:25We lost two players injured in the first half.
00:28Maybe some were hunting on doing what Sligo did well to come back to 3-0 in a game
00:33that we should have been out of sight in.
00:35And then to come back and get the winner helps when you have players who can score goals.
00:41So today we were a bit depleted in the midfield, missed a number of players.
00:45Jason Cletham went in and played in there and did very well.
00:49And Chris, after coming back into the team.
00:51So they did fine and we deserved a win.
00:54Without being three days after a quick turnaround,
00:57I'm not saying we were at the level that even we were at last Friday
01:01where we were very, very good.
01:02But we still deserved to win.
01:12I just had a look back there because I hadn't seen them.
01:15I didn't see a TV interview and hadn't seen them.
01:18So I put a look at them and two of them are absolute penalties.
01:22And the sending off.
01:23There's no real argument on that.
01:25He's come through high over the top of the ball.
01:27Well, maybe he doesn't mean it.
01:28Maybe just overzealous.
01:29But it looks a sending off.
01:39Did he say that, did he?
01:40Yeah.
01:41Tell him thanks very much.
01:42Alright.
01:43He's not known for his discretion, Chris, is he?
01:45No, I'm only joking.
01:46No, he's a great, great guy.
01:47But he's been excellent in the two games.
01:49Absolutely excellent.
01:51Listen, we didn't target nine points.
01:54We just said it's a nine-point week.
01:56And let's get a one win and see where it takes us.
01:59And so it was a tough game against Shamrock Rovers on Friday.
02:02And we've got a formidable squad.
02:05We got beaten tonight.
02:06They're going to want to do well at home.
02:07So we'll get a tough game for sure.
