Shamrock Rovers captain fires warning shot as Europe comes into focus. Ronan Finn insists they are not good enough to beat Drogheda United tonight without full focus.
RONAN FINN HAS warned his Shamrock Rovers teammates that they are not good enough to look beyond tonight’s away trip to face Drogheda United.
“If we don’t go up, don’t do our homework and don’t treat them with respect, we will be punished. We are not that good, and I don’t think anyone is that bad [that we can just turn up in a place and expect to win],” Finn said. “It is so important,” Finn continued. “Once that develops into your game, you start taking your eye off the ball, then maybe looking at a game down the track, and you think, ‘right we will beat these and then roll into that match’, look, I just don’t think that attitude works.
The 35-year-old is the oldest outfielder in the Rovers squad and a stellar career has seen the Dubliner embark on three European group stage campaigns. The midfielder, a convert to right wing back in Stephen Bradley’s system, played in the Europa League in 2011 and 2016, with Rovers and Dundalk, respectively.
