F**king brilliant
Fabio again

Hold out boys,
Come on the Saints :)

eirebhoy

Can't believe O'Brien has done it (dare I say again...).

gimmick

Jesus christ, what a result that will be after being dead and buried.

radiospan

Amazing. Can't belive it. All over.

3-3 aggregate, Pat's through on away goals after being 3-0 down on the night.

Töpher

FT, 3-2.

dubmick

are they through to the group stage?

applehunter

FULL TIME.:)

AARRRGH

Play-offs next, but how much is this worth to St. Pats?

Raskolnikov

3-2 FT.

Pat's go through! Wonder where Kdjac or whatever his name used to be is.

Get. The. ****. In.

Who are potential opponents in the next round then?

Super saints, having been 3-0 down. Brilliant result

Congratulations Pats.

Lets hope you get a favourable draw in the playoff round and make the group stages proper.

radiospan

Is it group stages now?!

Would be an Irish first after so long waiting.

gimmick

Incredible. Possibly the best ever result an Irish team has had in Europe given they were 3-0 down with 20 minutes to play.

Big Ears

Fantastic result, it takes real character for a team to come back like that when 3-0 in a place like Russia, and against a team in a very strong league and also in season.

Full credit to Pats, they've done the league proud.

Bob the Seducer

Jesus Christ, I almost had a coronary following that on the text updates!

We're through

COME ON YOU SUPER SAINTS!!!

Highlights just how important it is to not concede at home.

Nope, another round, termed the 'play-offs'. Plenty of big guns in there.

Fair play pats! Lets hope that inspires Derry!

Absolutely. You've got to win your home games and nick a goal away from home to have any chance. A bit of luck along the way helps too .

CHD

Who are the possible opponents?

chopperbyrne

When is the draw and is it seeded to protect the "bigger" clubs or is it a random draw?

TheBigLebowski

Absolutely delighted for Pats. Unbelievable stuff.

Raskolnikov

As far as I know, the draw for the next round is tomorrow. Here are the list of teams competing.

4th Qualifying Round August involving 74 teams:
35 winners from the 3th qualifying round
15 cup winners from countries ranked 1-15
3 third-placed teams from countries ranked 7-9
3 fourth-placed teams from countries ranked 4-6
3 fifth-placed teams from countries ranked 1-3
15 teams eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League

It was a great achivement to get this far, but I can't see them beating a team that's even better than the last Russian outfit.

radiospan

"St Pat's will now be entered in tomorrow's final qualifying round draw where they could be paired against the likes of Everton, Aston Villa, Villarreal, Valencia and Ajax."
