How did Linfield not manage to win tonight?

Probably had their minds elsewhere with all this talk of another Orange Order parade in Dublin :P

Seen the Linfield result and thought they were away. Absolutly awful result.

had a bit of a notion to watch the european qualifiers. Is it possible? Do clubs have any streams out there?

Funnily enough Ive seen Ekranas twice in action in the flesh! Once in Panevezys and once in Cork. City knocked them out. They were no great shakes at the time although it was a good while a go.

BTW Ekranas just means Lightbulb or Light.

Fair play on making both games, it's a nice feeling to complete a tie. I've been fortunate to be able to do it a couple of times.
But they did beat City at the Cross in 2005, so Shamrocks Dublin FC need to be wary.

In what language is Ekranes 'Light' or 'Light Bulb', in Estii one word for light is Valgus and a word for Light bulb is elektripin. In Russian Light is Svet and light bulb is lampachka.

I did know that the Icelandic side Akranes means Hospital.

Its Lithuanian. They are named after this company. http://www.ekranas.lt/en.php/pages,id.73 It Could have been tube or light tube as well, something like that.


They did beat us in Cork and they were a handy side but we did go through.

I reckon it will be a very closely fought tie between Rovers and Ekranas.

I see Michael Mifsud is still banging them in. Got 4 last night for Valletta against the Andorran team.

So can Linfield go to the mighty Faroe Islands tonight and get the win they need to go face AEL Limassol of Cyprus?

A tad embarrassing for Linfield that they couldn't score in 3 hours of play against the Faroe Islands Champions.

Linfield go through.

Linfield 4-3 on pens, Poland continues to be a friend to Irish Football as Cieslewicz misses.

Richard Lecky continues his European tally for Ports as they equalise against Shkendija 79 of both Macedonia and Albania at Shamrock Park, 1-1 on the night and aggregate half an hour to go.

Needed another goal or the Macedonians would have went through on away goals..and they got it.

2-1 on the night and aggregate now

At the minute, Northern Ireland are two for two.

Just saw there that Red Bull Salzburg were beaten 1-0 by the mighty F91 Dudelange of Luxembourg. That is an absolute shocker IMO. Dudelange enter the competition at the preliminary stage every year, on a par with San Marino's champions.

Hoping Shams get the score draw they need purely for my own selfish reasons of wanting to see Suarez and Biglia in the flesh in the next round.

Jesus, no one talking about this match, poor form lads

F91 Dudelange from Luxembourg, 3-2 up away from home v Red Bull Salzburg. After winning 1st leg 1-0 at home too.

Salzburg were 1/16 to win this one!

Hammer Archer

Salzburg 4-3 up on the night now. 4-4 on aggregate and Dudelange down to 10 men.

Dudelange thru tho, what a result for them. Amazing for a team from Luxembourg to be still going.

Incredible result and probably equivalent to the likes of Shamrock Rovers defeating a bottom half Premier League team.

I feel really sorry for their fans to be honest. What a **** time of it they've had. Their club bought over and totally stripped of every aspect of their history. IMO **** Red Bull, not necessarily the club.

Jelle1880

See but that's the thing, most of them now support Austria Salzburg and couldn't care less about RB Salzburg.

Exactly! It ripped the club out of the heart of the city. Some moved with the founding of the new Austria Salzburg, but you can bet that pretty much all of the RB fans were fans of the original Austria Salzburg before 2005. I feel sorry for all of them. Same as I feel terribly sorry for the Cardiff fans who are going through something somewhat similar at the moment (though less extreme).

Linfield game nearly called off because the pitch wasnt marked.

Oh my..Zagreb have scored in the 7th minute of injury time to go through 4-3 on aggregate against Ludogorets of Bulgaria.
There was 5 minutes added but well into the 6th minute Dinamo got a corner. The Bulgarians are distraught. They played the last 40 minutes with 10 men and managed to hold out for so long.

Not sure why the ref played longer than the 5. There was no injuries or subs that I saw.
