FURIOUS RODDY COLLINS has accused Dundalk’s Patrick Hoban of setting out to “do” Ryan McBride.
Derry defender McBride is expected to remain in hospital again tonight for observation as he continues to recover from a nasty clash of heads which left him unconscious.
Play at Oriel Park was halted for more than 10 minutes while McBride was treated on the pitch before he was taken to Our Lady Of Lourdes Hospital last night.

“He done him. I believe he done him,” Collins told Drive 105.3FM after the 3-0 defeat.
“I think the referee [Tomas Connolly] has bottled it for sure.
Hoban hit back on Twitter this morning and said: ”To say I went on the pitch to hurt [someone] is beyond ridiculous.”
“Contesting for the ball nothing more. Hope McBride is okay #speedyrecovery”
