I've a POINT to make

Another day, another draw.

Firstly entering the turnstile, a steward asked me "Can I smell your drink?".
"Fair enough", came my reply.
What happened then turned my stomach. The stewards in question decided to not just smell it but stick his nose inside the bottle. Charming bloke.

City started well and scored early. We played some lovely football for the first 10 minutes, when the goal was scored though the team relaxed rather than push for a second.

Matthews defensive style shone through in the end though. Unfortunately. He took off goalscorer Mooney and brought on Pat Sullivan. Going to 451 at home and looking for a one nil is an awful decision to make. Georgie was moved into the middle and played a bit more forward. The damage was done though after the substitution. Derry saw the incentive after seeing City drop back and yet again they score late on to take something from the game.

Colin Healy deserved man of the match. A much improved performance by him and actually makes makes my previous comments look foolish.

I still believe Lordan isn't up to scratch though. Nothing against the lad but he's just a nervous wreck out on the pitch. He shows how uncomfortable he is with the ball when he passes it back to Devine the whole time instead of playing the ball forward himself. He was at fault for Derry's equaliser and Danny Murphy let him know about it as well. He could not handle substitute Sammon at all. Surely Darren Murphy, who impressed me last year, or Pat Sullivan should be given a chance at centre back as Lordan just can't hack it at this level.

Cobh is a huge game next week. They will be up for their first of three "cup finals" and City could find it extremely difficult down in Queenstown. An interesting battle will no doubt take place this night next week.
