Have your final say: How special is Peter Thompson?



Coleraine boss Marty Quinn
Bannsiders' manager Marty Quinn is disconsolate after 2-1 defeat

Coleraine boss Marty Quinn was left devastated at his side's second half demise at Windsor Park on Saturday.

The Bannsiders had rocked hot favourties Linfield and deservedly held a 1-0 lead going in at the interval.

Quinn believes that his side should have been even more ahead before the dramatic turnaround after the break.

"We battered them, we should have been in two or three up at half-time. But I think overall in the first half there was only one team," said Quinn.

"Coleraine were the dominant force. Unfortunately you have a half-time whistle and that is what cost us the game.

"We were undoubtedly the better team in that first 45 minutes. But there was a bit of complacency after the break and we didn't start playing again until the damage was done."
