From the papers
The Independent

It was driving me mad and my back was killing me. If it was going to be like that for the rest of my life and I played as I had been, I wouldn't have played any more.

I think you'll win soon and if it's any consolation I hope you beat me the next time we meet in a play-off.
The Independent

I thought I had won. But Ian made a great three at the last. You have to expect those sort of things to happen.
