Paddy McLaughlin has defended star striker Joe Gormley after he spurned a golden opportunity to secure all three points for Cliftonville in the north Belfast derby against Crusaders on Monday night.
As we moved into additional time at Seaview with the game balanced on a knife edge at 2-2 Ronan Hale teed up Gormley for what looked like a precious winner for the Reds.
But the ace marksman uncharacteristically fluffed his lines with the goal at his mercy and fired wide from six yards.
