A third own own goal for Matt Connolly. Fans of Danny Malloy, a serial own goal scorer at the club in the late 50s and early 60s, say that he only scored so many of them because of a combination of his bravery and anticipation which took him into areas where it was likely he’d get the last touch on a ball destined for the net – I can see elements of this in Connolly’s misfortunes this season and I’d still say that game in, game out, he’s been our best defender this season.*
