ng out against power conferences could be a toug

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy displayed sympathy for Ainsley Maitland-Niles rather than criticising him after the teenager conceded a stoppage-time penalty in their 2-2 draw with Bolton. Town were on course for an away victory at the Sky Bet Championships bottom club after goals from Kevin Bru and Christophe Berra put them 2-0 up inside 72 minutes.However, Lawrie Wilson quickly pulled one back for the hosts before Maitland-Niles, who had delivered the free-kick for Berra to score from, took down substitute and fellow Arsenal loanee Wellington Silva from behind deep into stoppage time. Wellington had been booked for diving moments earlier, yet referee Mark Haywood pointed to the spot this time and Stephen Dobbie rolled home an equaliser in the seventh minute of time added on.Asked about what he had said to Maitland-Niles, the straight-talking McCarthy replied: He said, He dived, I got the ball. Until I see it I wont know. Whether he did or he didnt, kick the f***ing thing out because it doesnt make the referee have a decision to make.Ive said to the lads, We all need a bit of a love, we dont need kicking in the b******s. When youve made a mistake, the last thing you need is - there you are, have a kick in the nuts and lets just make it even worse and compound it.Anybody who hasnt made a mistake in my team, you can stand up and punch me in the nose. Well, nobody got up. Weve all done it; weve all made mistakes. Ive made them when Ive been a lot older and a lot wiser than Ainsley. If he learns from it...Hes a kid, give him a bit of loving. Thats what we need to do.The visitors had barely threatened at the Macron Stadium but led through Brus brilliant finish off the underside of the crossbar before Berra headed in a second after goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski had preserved their lead with a string of saves.I thought they were excellent tonight, McCarthy added of Bolton. Had we come away and won it wed have burgled it completely.Despite taking a point for the first time in four games, home manager Neil Lennon was left to reflect on similar failings as their profligacy in front of goal haunted them once more.Although Dean Holdsworths Sports Shield consortium hope to conclude their takeover of the club in the coming days, Wanderers will still need a Football League embargo lifted before they can bring in any loans.Im fed up, frustrated - weve played so well and we missed some gilt-edged chances, Lennon said.The least we deserved was a point. Its very frustrating when you see the quality of our play and the quality of chances we created and the misses. Its pretty symptomatic of our season really.Weve played really well again tonight. We were the better team by a long, long way. Footballs about being ruthless and taking your chances, putting teams away when youre in the ascendancy and we didnt do it again tonight.I cant be critical of the character of the team and some of the quality of the football was exceptionally good.
