Ross County Manager Don Cowie’s Post-Match Comments Following 1-2 Loss to St Mirren

Ross County manager Don Cowie, in an interview with BBC Scotland, expressed his team’s disappointment, stating: “It’s a sore one to concede late and lose the game but at the same time, we take responsibility.” He observed that his squad commenced the second half strongly, achieving an equaliser, before St Mirren were reduced to 10 players. Cowie noted his team’s failure to capitalise on this numerical advantage and adapt to the conditions, adding: “We did not take advantage of that, didn’t deal with the conditions as well as them. It’s a great free-kick that wins it for them but they deserved that overall.” Cowie further characterised the match as “a massive opportunity missed.” He conveyed his strong dissatisfaction from the half-time interval, remarking: “I was really frustrated and annoyed at half-time. We showed a really good reaction, but we did not build on that nearly enough. The keeper had no real saves to make in that period.” He also acknowledged the challenging weather conditions, stating: “I get that the conditions were tough and it was hard to play, but you’ve still got to do a lot better.” Addressing an incident involving Eamonn Brophy and a potential penalty, Cowie commented: “I think it’s possibly a penalty. The defender doesn’t do anything more than push Eamonn in the back. He makes contact. But at the same time, St Mirren could have had a penalty at the other end for a very similar scenario. The referee has deemed no penalty for both so maybe it’s evened out.” Sandi Toksvig’s program features Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
