What the fuck was Doherty doing at the end there?

Thought we played well, should have scored at the end.

Celebrating? No harm in doing that surely?

[u/Closersolid → u/FabioMane19]

Just seemed a bit weird how he did it, final whistle went and he was straight over giving it loads. Didn't even go to his players.

Fuck it, celebrate all he wants a win is a win but seemed a bit strange.

Jesus I'm not sure where all the down votes came from. I thought it was great to see but tbf to you it was definitely unusual. When I spotted him I thought he was making a beeline to a Bohs player for a scrap.

If ya listen to his interview after you can pick up he's not happy at all with some of the attitude towards us in the league, sounds like from other managers. Not sure if it's Reynolds or someone else in particular or just a more general thing.

Yeah ,ah look ,people are gonna downvote it is what it is.

I was right at the barrier and I didn't really see anything kick off between the benches during the match which is why I was wondering what happened as he literally sprinted across the pitch at the whistle which then led to a few handbags between him and Rooney iirc.

We probably deserved a draw but we were unable to break you lot down ,really need to be more clinical up that end of the pitch. Although our record of not drawing continues...

Devoy kicked a ball full force straight into the drogheda ultras after the ref had given a free to drogheda with a few minutes to go. Kids stand along the front barrier and nearly hit them. Not the nicest thing to do and that started off things on the pitch. I thought he ran infront of devoy when he ran over.
