Mick McCarthy: My weekend is ruined

Daryl Murphy had fired Ipswich into a 30th minute lead, before Steve Davies levelled matters early in the second half.

And McCarthy did not mix his words at Ashton Gate saying: "I'm angry, livid and totally devastated.

"One long ball has taken out three of our defenders for the winner and that simply shouldn't happen. It was a dreadful goal to concede.

"We had a great chance to go 2-0 up in the first half and opportunities to win the game near the end. I should be happy because we played well for long periods.

"But that means nothing. We should not have lost and my weekend will have a black cloud hanging over it."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
