Derry and Drogs tomorrow in UEFA cup

Chucky the tree

Derry play IFK Geteborg tomorrow. There are 1-0 from the away tie so are in a great position. How do people think they will do? Apperantly they decided to fly to london, then to belfast then bus it to Derry. And they did it all today.


Drogs are playing HJK helsinki and its 1:1 after the away leg. I think they should definitly make it through.

I am very confident both should qualify. However these teams dont have a great record in europe.

What does everyone else think?

I think both sides can get through.

Derry look in a very strong position and are very tough to beat at the Brandywell.

Drogheda should enjoy the open space that Dalymount provides but I am not convinced with Doolin, he allows his teams to drop to deep and there is a possibility that they will be caught late with a goal.

Heading along to Dayler, should be a special occasion for Drogheda united.

Hope the two teams do well and can get the needed victories. Shame neither game is getting tv coverage

Love Island the wonder years is more important.

Working the late shift tonight, frustrated as I want to be in Dalymount (not something I say often! ). I think Drogs can do it, 1-0 win on the night! 0-0 in the Brandywell is my reckoning - Derry will be wary of attacking too much, and are usually so good at the back. Win and a draw so I think, and 0.5 added to the leagues coefficient total!

I think both LOI sides will do the business and go through , although whenever any Irish side other than Cork or Shels are playing in Europe im nervous they won't go through no matter who they're playing . A lot of it has to do with what happened with Longford last year .

Fear not, both Derry City and Drogheda are nothing like Longford. They actually play football.

I think Derry City have the harder task, even with the away goal.

C'mon Drogs.

C'mon Derry.

Bateman

Wouldn't place too much confident in either team TBH, I think Derry might manage a win if they can take their chances though. I think Drogheda will concede.

Best of luck to both sides tonight!

Expect Drogheda to go through after a tough game, but it's gonna be really tough for Derry.

Töpher

Drogheda had a goal ruled out.

Derry 1-0 (2-0 agg) up on the arogant Swedes! O'Flynn from the spot!

Both games still in first half.

ronbyrne2005

great double result for the league. but the premiership brigade wont notice them and keep saying theres no quality in "league of ireland" football

Ronan|Raven

Well done Garto and Drogs. Fair play to both teams tonight delighted with the results for them.

Zebra3

3-1 Drogheda f-t. Another peno.

Well done to both Derry and Drogheda.

Well done both sides , they are fantastic results especially for Derry .
To all of those who thought summer football was a bad idea and those who were against proffesionalism i'd like to see what yee have to say now . All 4 Irish clubs playing in Europe progressed past the first stage(and 3 could still go past the second) .

When is the draw for the Second qualifying round ?

Töpher

Tomorrow, I think.

Packed in with the Champions League draw is it ?

Draw is tomorrow after the CL 3rd qualifying round draw which will be on uefa.com from probably 11am.

Here's the sides Drogheda and Derry can get:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/seeduc2006.html Due to Lyn being knocked out by an Estonian side, Brann (who knocked out the Glens) move onto the seeded side of the draw. Both Derry and Drogheda will be hoping to draw Gretna.

I dunno, Gretna will be on a big high, and they are nifty enough, Id prefer

Any of the Norweigan teams, The 2nd Belgian team, Odense or Gretna (in that order) pls

KdjaCL

Newcastle game could possibly be worth more money than playing in the group in total, would fancy both vs Newcastle tbh.

Newcastle awful and Derry Drogs can defend very well.

Didnt think it'd be €20 in tho. Ah well , a good time was had by all. Congrats Drogs.
