CL: St. Pats vs. Legia Warsaw (Agg: 1-1) KO: 7:45pm

SantryRed

Live on Setanta Ireland.

Massive, massive game tonight for Pats in the Champions League 2nd round qualifier.

A 0-0 draw will put them through.

Would love to see them do it but I think playing in Tallaght instead of Richmond will swing the game in Legia's favour.

2-1 win for Legia for me but hopefully I'm wrong!

Soups123

What's the reason they've gone to Tallaght?

Oat23

Although I'm now dreading a potential Pats/Celtic match for obvious reasons, I still wish them well tonight. I expect Legia to get it together and win by 2 or 3 though.

Ugh

Go Pats, go

The Guards for security reasons.

Stadium starting to fill a bit now. It's strange being in Tallaght for a non Rovers game.

Dempsey

Best of luck to St.Pats tonight. Expecting a strong Legia performance though

syngindub

Mushy

Damn

Mushy

Damn it anyway!

I thought Pats should have had a free just before the goal, just when Legia got back possession. Good finish in fairness.

Why would ya dread a Pats/Celtic tie? Makes no sense, I'd imagine most Irish soccer fans would love to see it happen.

Awesomeness

Unlucky by fahey but the set pieces are gonna have to be a lot better than they were at that corner

eagle eye

Good play there from Pats to get the chance there, Legia keeper did well.

Considering most Irish soccer fans don't follow the league, yes, you are right.

Serious support for Polish team here, completely out singing the St, Pats fans which must be fairly embarrassing.

Still plenty of time left, hopefully we will see that Pats/Celtic tie still.

Probably not that embarassing. They'd outsing almost every Premiership club too.

I know. I'd like to see the actual match, but its the associated crap that will go with it is why people don't want to see it!

By crap you mean the national embarrassment of Irish people outnumbering Pats fans 4 to 1 as they support the away team.

What are you on about?? Best fans in the world and all that...

Pats were shocking for the goal, although it could have been argued that it was a free, need to play the whistle ffs

Hard to see a way back now

Mantis Toboggan

Pats been terrorised both by the Poles and the "away" support.

Hope they can come back and get a result although I highly doubt it.

Was like watching Brazil the way Pats defended for the first goal.
David Luiz, eat your heart out

Maybe that's how it appears on the telly, Pat's fans are singing their hearts out and have been loud through out the first half.

Yeah, the Poles are situated under the tv gantry so will obviously come across as louder than they are on tele.

Pats need to get Forrester involved more. Warsaw are good going forward but don't look very safe defensively

Dempsey

Yer man from the monopoly game is in the crowd...

Tell me I'm wrong, though.

I honestly thought it was the guy from hardcore pawn because my tv was muted.

Pats defence is terrible

Corholio

Pity Oman got injured in the warm up, Foran has played very poor. He hasnt been able to read high balls at all. Rest of defence has been ok though.

PauloMN

Game over. Shame.

Mushy

And that is that!

major bill

Pats are frustrating to watch...Fahey is a class apart a mile ahead of everyone.

Well deserved by Legia but Celtic will beat this lot

Captain Havoc

Darkglasses

Very poor, that's the end of that. Great try Pats!

Ya can't see Fahey staying in the League of Ireland for long, way ahead of the rest of the Pats team

Awesomeness

Awful defending.

dan1895

Terrible defending. Haven't seen much of Pats this season but they look awful compared to last year.

eh i dunno

Why did fahy return to loi so young?

Injuries. He barely played for 2 seasons before coming back IIRC.

eagle eye

Legia look a different side tonight but you have to wonder if that is an improvement in them or a different approach by Pats letting them back into it. I thought Pats were a lot more deliberate and built slowly in the away leg and they looked good doing it. Tonight they have looked more defensive to me and more direct with the ball and they haven't had anything close to the possession they had in the away leg.

riffmongous

Huge difference in how both teams have performed tonight compared to last week, no comparison unfortunately
