MATTITUDE

Doherty shows defiance to his critics

- BY MARK McCADDEN

MATT DOHERTY has delivered a defiant message to his critics in the wake of his match-winning display in Plovdiv.

The Wolves full-back, who is set to win his 50th senior Ireland cap in tomorrow's second leg in Dublin, says he does not care what is said and written about him.

He said: "For me to get 50, I must be doing something right."

And the 33-year-old insists he has not been bothered by any negative remarks aimed in his direction.
