Byrne wants support

Shelbourne striker Jason Byrne is hoping manager Pat Fenlon gives him some help in attack for the second leg of the Dubliners’ UEFA Cup first round tie against Lille.

Byrne was left up the park himself for long periods at Lansdowne Road as the ultra-cautious Irish side struggled to contain the visitors, who cruised into a seemingly unassailable two-goal lead through strikes by Mathieu Bodmer and Christophe Landrin.
