Calm approach works for Collins

Shelbourne coach Eamonn Collins denied an old fashioned half-time rant was responsible for the Dubliners’ amazing second-half recovery against Lille in their UEFA Cup first round, first-leg tie at Lansdowne Road.

Shels were given the run-around by the slick-moving visitors in the first 45 minutes and were lucky to go into the interval only 2-0 down to goals by Mathieu Bodmer and Christophe Landrin.
