Colin Healy: 'We just couldn't put the ball in the net'

It might have been all about the small things and the little details at Turner’s Cross on Saturday night, but Cork City interim boss Colin Healy could see the bigger picture.

Desperate for three points to boost their shrinking hopes of escaping relegation, City had a Cian Coleman goal controversially wiped off with just a quarter of an hour to play in an absorbing Munster derby. Minutes later they had strong claims for a penalty turned down when Deshane Dalling’s effort blasted off the arm of Darragh Power, but referee Ben Connolly was unmoved. Small margins. Big implications.
