CONNOR RONAN MADE his Premier League debut off the bench on Saturday afternoon as Wolves went down 3-2 at home to Brighton at Molineux.
The former Ireland U21 international was introduced in stoppage time, replacing Boubacar Traore, but couldn’t help Wolves find the breakthrough they needed.
Pascal Gross was Brighton’s hero with the winner seven minutes from time, but the hosts still proved to incoming boss Julen Lopetegui they are up for the Premier League survival fight.
Gross’s late strike snatched victory for Brighton just as it looked like Wolves would hold on to a point after Nelson Semedo’s first-half red card.
Goncalo Guedes’ first Wolves goal and Ruben Neves’ penalty had given the hosts a 2-1 lead after Adam Lallana’s opener.
Kaoru Mitoma levelled before Semedo was dismissed and Gross won it to maintain Brighton’s European charge and end the hosts’ stubborn resistance.
Wolves worked hard and a draw would have been well earned but they remain in the relegation zone, two points from safety, with the Seagulls sixth – just three points behind the top four.
“A covered stand, with a capacity of 500 spectators, will overlook the first pitch.”
All well and good, but when are they going to actually build a proper stadium of their own instead of continuing to use the GAA’s national stadium for half their games?
Croke Park has become Dublin GAA’s back garden, which is not what it is supposed to be, nor was it ever intended to be.
@Oisín McGovern: You do know it is the Leinster council who decides what matches are played in Croke Park and the ones away.
@Oisín McGovern: At least you realise and articulate correctly that CROKER , is the NATIONAL stadium , of the GAA , and not Dublins home venue, as some would have us believe

Great news for Dublin GAA. Only wish Cork GAA would do likewise
Great news as long as they are paying for it themselves .
@Karl Phillips: who else is going to pay for it?
