Armenians ‘more proud than angry’

HAVING had so little luck on the pitch last night, the Armenian manager Vardan Minasyan surprisingly had even less to say off it.

After his team had been beaten, the coach breezed right through the customary press conference merely offering congratulations to Ireland.

Forward Yura Movsisyan was a little more forthcoming however. He said that, overall, the Armenian squad were “more proud than angry” after a match in which they appeared to have an equal say until goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky was controversially sent off.
