Kuduzovic scores on his debut! Tap in followed up from a free kick.

Drogs 2 - 1 Levadia

Not actually his debut. He played against UCD a couple of weeks ago.

I think Faz looks a fantastic player, but he seemed to fade in and out of both games he's played for the Drogs. I'm hoping it's a fitness thing what with coming from Sligo and all. If he can keep us his form for 90 minutes then I think he can really do the business for us. Seems to link up well with Richie Baker.

Yeah, because the visit of Depor really raised the profile, got loads of fans to start coming to games.

What can I say; I'm young, naive and eternally optimistic...

I wont open new thread even this has nothing with this game,but i am just reading that also on yesterdays game between Linfield and Dinamo Zagreb were a lot of provocations between fans of 2 teams that even at one moment home fans was yelling Serbia,Serbia to provoke Croats,and on the other side croats was showing flags with sign of vatican to provoke other side,UEFA will see if they will punish both of teams but its more realiable that Linfield will be the onlyone punished "coz of bad organisation of the match"

Irish teams I would never support in Europe:

Bray-My most hated team....period.

Shamrock Rovers-I think everyone bar their own fans hate them

Shelbourne-Because of their late 90's/early 21st century youth policy, and Mick Neville(is he still working there?)


So yeah I supported Drogheda last night. There was a lot of fans there of different clubs as well.

Mick left I think for some development position on one of the counties. I love the club but I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to the youth side of it, God I hate a lot of them there.

estebancambias

Just to clarify Santry Red maby Mick Neville is a nice guy, I can't remember, but back in the what I call the 'soccer dad' faze(the jack charlton generation) he got a lot of flack for his antics.

SantryRed

Yeah he was the one I really got along with, my own two managers though are another story. Anyways, in the past now:D

Better again; his fitness levels must be sky-high after training on a ploughed field for the last 2 years.

If our stadium plans get mucked up by the NRA then he could find himself training (and playing) on a ploughed field again.

While i don't hate any team, per say, i do really dislike Rovers if only because some and i mean 'some' of there supporters think they are on a level above everyone else. My dad dislikes them because RTE's Phillip Greene used to constantly drool on and on about them in the 70s and 80s.

Haha no fear of them in europe for a while anyway!

SantryRed

This game's already started just to let people know. Nil all after twenty minutes.

Live commentary on the internet on RTE Radio 1 Extra.

redzerdrog

drogs team:

ewings
byrne
maher
garto
kendrick
keegan
hughes
cahill
baker
Faz
Zayed

presume its a 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 formation

SantryRed

Just gone half time.

Nil all still. Levadia don't seem to be making too many chances.

SantryRed

Goal!:D

Gartland makes up for his mistake last week.

Tallinn seem to be falling to pieces.

Good stuff!
(Drogs fans, please tell Doolin to smile -- even on the radio -- if he wins).

I'd be happier if he just resigned instead of smiling.

Big Ears

Well done Drogs, hone and away wins against their Estonian opponents .
Apparently Zayed missed a sitter just before the end .

It's gonna be very tough for Drogheda to get anything from the next round but we can hope .

eirebhoy

Ireland's seeding already higher than the 1.000 of last season. No chance of them getting by Dynamo but they did their job with 2 wins.

estebancambias

****ng DELIGHTED.

Ok it was expected, but winning away in Europe is nothing to sniffed at no matter what the opposition. I listened eagerly on the radio, and was as nervous as hell. When Gartland scored I was over the moon...people on the beach were like 'what the ****'

Apparently with better finishing it could have looked easier, but the job was done, and Doolin got the tactics spot on.

Now come on lad you've been watching friendlies saying you 'cant wait for football to be back' well european football is on your doorstep next week so go and get Dalymount rocking.

fair play( cork city will get to the group stages next year).

Cork City are the most likely of the LOI sides for an early exit this year . They've given themselves a tough task against Haka with the away goals and it would take a very good result for them to progress, they are capable of it though .

The Matthews European curse may continue though :eek:

Nothing to suggest they'll make the group stages of the UEFA CUP(they're not going to be in the Champions League) anymore next year than this year(before the 2-2 draw) . Who's to say they won't do it this year ?
