Thats a bit strange, Kiev had three black players in their team last week and look to have the same this week.

Two - Two, Gartland.

Raskolnikov

2-2.

Screw you gimmick!

bohsman

Wow, Kiev are a class apart, a draw would be a great result.

What a miss!!!!

Bluetonic

What a miss.

Töpher

How did Hughes miss that?

DSB

Poor Hughes, that was a terrible miss.

Gimmick is the most bitter Eircom league supporter EVER ! ! !!

I cant believe that he missed that adam hughes oh my god

Raskolnikov

Oh my God.

Töpher

Holy ****! How?

andrewie

How did that stay out!!

Bluetonic

Off the post... Jesus

Raskolnikov

Drogheda were robbed tonight

DSB

Drogheda have done the league proud whatever happens. Gritty performance.

agreed, commentary for both legs has been woeful

MisterAnarchy

What a crazy final 5 minutes.
Drogheda nearly pulled it out of the fire.

DSB

Roddy Collins, oh how I despise that man and his need to be negative and controversial about everything. Hard luck Drogs.

Too right.

You think he could give Drogs a little bit of credit. They deserved a draw out of this at least.

delija_sever029

Good result for Drogheda,as neutral fan here i wanted to see surprise in this game and Drogs winning but i think they left good impression with these 2-2

DSB

Twas a good result for the coefficient anyways.

FatherTed

Well done to Drogheda, they did the league proud. One of these years an irish club will make the breakthrough to the group stages.

applehunter

My whole family were screaming for Drogheda in the last few minutes. I thought Adam Hughes had scored.

Very hard luck.

Shane Robinson made a big difference in this leg.

Made Roddy's over the top rants look petty now. :mad:

Rico showed some reason to his analysis. While he admitted that Kiev were the better team, he said that character counts for so much as well.:cool:

all i can say is that collins is a cRRRap pundit

Thats put me in my place.

2-2 away from home, good result for them to be fair.

But once again, it is glorious failure, which all eL fans are all too happy to accept. Then, at last their European failure was not a European embarrassment!

Excellent result for Drogs. It would have been the biggest upset I've seen from an Irish team in Europe anyway.

Its a step in the right direction, and ultimately earns a bit more respect for the league. Which will bring a small amount extra to the stands each week. Unlike Cork who put the name of the league through the sewers with a mauling at the hands of a vastly inferior Haka side.

gimmick

^ I don't disagree with any of that.

Still don't have to like them though.

Not a Drogs fan at all either.

mike65

Fair play to Drogs, I understand Collins said he'd do a forfit if they were not beaten by 2 clear goals tonight so I wonder if he'll live up to his word.

Mike.

Töpher

Will he hell! It's like Dunphy paying the money he bid for a jersey at a Waterford United benefit auction! Not gonna happen!

20 Times 20 Times

Sure i'm hardly the biggest Drogheda supporter here , but I WILL support the league.

redzerdrog

unbelievable just unbelievable my heart is still in my mouth! IF.... IF.... IF......... so close to greatest result ever in irish football!!! they have really done us proud!!

Töpher

Would Shels knocking out current Croatian champions Hajduk Split at the same stage of the same competition not rank the same, even if they had done it? Great performance from what I saw, and desperately unlucky, just not sure I buy idea it would have been the best result ever achieved.

bohsman

No, Kiev are a far bigger team than Split.

Slash/ED

Yeah Kiev and Split can't really be compared.

Not exactly a total glorious failure, the draw at least gets us co-efficent points. I missed the game, though.

Töpher

Fair enough, I was basing it on competition stages. I suppose to that degree I can see the logic. Apologies that upset any Drogs fans!

bohsman

Theres far bigger results as far as stages go alright, Shels cl exploits, Bohs reaching the UEFA cup proper and beating Kaiserslautern away.

Slash/ED

Meah one legged results don't count for anything imo. Shels beating Split for example ranks a billion times higher then 'drawing' with Deportivo. It's a two legged game, and it's about who you knocked out, especially after losing at home. Shels drew away with a fine Rosenborg team years ago too in the winter football Malta teams beating us 5-0 home and away era, but it means nothing.

Cork were playing the other night, weren't they? In Finland I think?

Agreed, I was more focusing on the reaching the 1st round proper part of it.

Slash/ED

Ah that's true, Aberdeen was quite a scalp at the time too.
