Speaking after the defeat at Haladas McStay said: “I am proud of the players. They did everything to get the win today. We worked hard with lots of devotion and at times played well. The players battled fantastically.
“We had more chances when we were down to 10 men than Haladas, and I feel that we did everything to try and get the equaliser, and then go on to score the winner.
“Sadly a laughable decision by the referee signalled the games turning point. What Zoltan Pollack did was everything but not acting. The referee was inconsistent and did not punish the other teams players for the same things.
“From the country that I come from, the football association would not hand out a ban to a player for that, and that would show that the referee got it wrong. Perhaps I seem angry about the referee’s decision, but as a sportman, I would like to congratulate Haladas, as they fought very well.”
