Bolger should have been alive to the runner.

Disappointed to go in level at the break, i thought we were the better team in that first half.

There's definitely more goals there for us, i think Christy Fagan can nick one.

North was just on the bench to fill a space because we've so many out injured. He wasn't fit and probably won't be for next week either.

As a fellow member of the rounder shape, when has North ever been fit...

2-1 Riga Disappointing.

Riga are very dangerous on the counter. Going to be interesting next week.

Ah Christ. Hope away goal proves vital.

We've faded a bit in this half.

That was terrible. Still, a classic turn around is on the cards for their home game I feel

Lack of conviction about Pats. They really should have more than one away goal.

The Skonto lads really love the tackle.

1-1 so far between City and Reykjavik. Bennett scoring for city. Thats the away goal given away then.:(

Good God they were filthy. Hopefully we can do the business back in Richmond next week. Should be a cracking atmosphere.

City play like we did 2nd half we getting beaten. Though I can see KR sitting back and being more than happy with 1-1

Fair play to UCD.

Odds BK thrashed Sheriff. Didn't see that coming, given the difference in coefficient.

kksaints

Fair play to UCD. Thats a super result for them and with no away goal conceded.

Delighted for UCD!!

Anybody at the UCD game? How'd they play?

Delighted for ye. Well done!

I was supposed to have a bet on UCD tonight actually, but I forgot. Any idea what the odds were again? I want to say it was around 8/1 last week

I was also supposed to put something on Cork as well though, so it all evens out in the end!

Zebra3

Think UCD were 5/1.

Darkglasses

Congrats UCD, great result!

The_Kew_Tour

Meh, could gone either of way at Cross, but should had Peno.

Still not over.

Well done UCD.

pablomakaveli

Imagine if UCD were the only Irish club to get through to the next round.

SantryRed

Big congrats to UCD. Poor results all around other than that IMO.

Pats should never have lost that game, and should have more than 1 away goal.
Rovers are in a precarious position with no away goal going into the 2nd leg next week.
Cork need to score in Iceland. I really think Caulfield's tactics will not be suitable and I see Cork as the favourites to go out.

But saying that, hopefully all three can turn it around and we get at least 2 teams into the next round!

It's those Icelandic pr*cks always camping in their own half when they come to the cross. Happened a few times this season already.

Dennehy and O'Sullivan scrapping after the match by the looks of things. Lucky not to be sent off. Silly boys.

Dennehy decided to hit a free kick from 30 yards and almost cleared the stand. Sullivan was annoyed and was giving lip over it. Darren Dennehy ran in then but someone else dragged them apart. Darren ran down the tunnel gesturing at Sullivan to join him.

Handbags and these things happen. Probably the most entertaining part of a pretty piss poor performance.

The_Kew_Tour

Glad to see some passion.

Billy is waste of space though recently for us. His piss poor performances far out weigh his good ones, boy do I miss Horgan

ShamoBuc

Billy is a bit of a donkey at times and tonight he certainly was. Sullivan was far more of a physical presence than O'Flynn. Still in it but should have won had we performed a little better.
Pats away goal gives them a fair chance

Delighted for UCD

5/1 with most good bookies,11/2 and sixes with some crowds you wouldnt bet on a fart with.

NIMAN

Fair play to all the Irish, but well done especially to UCD, did us proud.
And to think many thought they'd make us look bad tonight.

miroslavklose

Was at the UCD game, 1-0 by no means flattered them, even if Dudelange dominated possession and had more attempts. Unlucky not to be taking a two-goal cushion over there - will be very tough but it's doable.

CHealy

City really should have won that last night, a very frustrating night but small comfort in that we know we can be better for the second leg. Being underdogs and having to score will suit us but we are obviously still favourites to go out.

Unreal stuff from UCD.

Played exceptionally well I thought. We rode our luck at times, especially in the first half when they hit the post and Corbett made some great saves.
In the second half though, the value of summer football was apparent. Their players really seemed to tire and we had some great chances to get another. Benson forced a great save from their keeper, Watts hit the crossbar and there was a goalmouth scramble where the ball could've gone anywhere.
Just over 1000 at it. Never seen such a large "home" crowd at the Bowl (obviously there was a sizeable number of other teams' fans).
Can't wait for next week's away game. Dudelange will still be favourites to progress, but if we can manage a scuttery away goal it would make it very interesting.

Are you going to head over?

I love the way they set about them the first twenty minutes physically and the effort levels throughout. A performance of real heart and determination.

And he's still been our biggest threat going forward. Plenty of assists, including last night, and a few goals. 9 goals and 13 assists for the season in all competitions except the Munster Senior Cup (10 and 17 including it). Bad decision with the free at the end, but another time that could've went in top corner and he'd go from being a donkey to a footballing genius.

Disappointing result, but I didn't think the disallowed goal should've been ruled out and we could've had a penalty, as well. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet or scoring twice out there. I'd say we'll lose 2-1. We really needed a lead going into it. KR were decent and they'll step it up at home.

The two goals Pats conceded were muck - schoolboy stuff. If they can keep it tight next week they should progress. Badly need Christy to rediscover last season's form.

Yeah I'm heading over. May never get the chance again.

Funny thing is that we brought 15 fans to Cabinteely (5km from UCD) if I remember correctly. As of last night, there were just under 30 fans confirmed as going to Luxembourg next week (1000km from Dublin).

Bridge93

Quick google tells me F91 are a half decent minnow team. Been winner or runner up in their league in 15 of the last 17 years (11 wins) and had 5 players in the most recent Luxembourg squad. Makes it all the more impressive a result!

Yep – a good example of how a side can be of a much higher standard than their league’s ranking might suggest.

Never good getting a text during a match from your kid telling you to put your top back on


Should have beat them, we died on our arses after an hour and Bucko made some stupid decisions which I hope dont cost us. They put in a few tasty tackles and went striaght for Brennan and Bolger who impressively didnt punch or kick somone.

Hoare out for 6 weeks, Fagan unknown.


Thats pretty much all I remember from the last 3 days.
