Why are Dundalk wearing their away strip?

SantryRed

Jesus Christ, that's another red card challenge missed. Twice in two games now!

SantryRed

Paul Shiels really not on the same level technically as the other Dundalk players in midfield.

Very greedy going for glory

Brilliant Horgan.

Great play to get the cross in and great finish

Mushy

Quality by Horgan, great header too.

applehunter

Owen Heary is the anti Keith Andrews.

ShamoBuc

Great to see Dundalk take the lead. Won't be too long till their star striker comes on. Interesting second half ahead.

SantryRed

Good first half by Dundalk but BATE were happy to do what they did last year and see out a 0-0 draw. It'll be a different beast coming at Dundalk in the second half so they need to be ready for it.

But it's bloody exciting!

45 minutes now for Dundalk to work their balls off.

Excellent cross by Daryl Horgan, would be such a massive achievement if they won tonight but I can't see them holding out unfortunately.

Is it known who they could possibly draw in the CL/EL if they win/lose?

Draw is on Friday I think.

Borisov pushing numbers forward. Either they score or Dundalk catch them on the break but i don't think we'll be seeing extra time.

SantryRed

Two frees in a row there that the referee should have let advantage go.

Lemmy Scott

Fair play to Dundalk hope they get through and spend their money doing up their home dump -embarassing for the country they have to play in Dublin.

Well done anyway.

corny

**** yeah.

Oat23

Hahahaha. :pac:

mickmackey1

yahoooooooooooo

Lemmy Scott

well done another one

Everyone knows their clubs have no hope of competing with Dundalk anytime soon right? I mean I support Shels so I've nothing to worry about but some of you should be bricking it right here.

SantryRed

THat's 11 goals in 6 games for David McMillan....

Cypher_sounds

Great stuff but bate are awful at the back 2 balls in the box all game 2 goals.

Dundalk need to keep going here. Don't sit back. There's a third here for them.

Is it going to make much difference to be honest? Even if they go out here and go out in the 2nd round for the next 5 years they are still making a fortune. Enough, with Kenny as manager, to dominate the league IMO.

Yeah try and do it again if they throw a couple of million extra in the bank. It's all well and good to support other clubs in the league but your own club is most likely screwed if they go through.

JustTheOne

How much do they stand to make?

A couple of million would make a pretty big difference in LOI terms yeah. Not saying they're getting caught this next season or next anyway, but qualify here and you could be looking at a Rosenborg........:.or a Rovers. But Dundalk seem better run.

Theres one club who have the biggest crowds ,best stadium and are a one team city -they will be dominating for years to come.

If Dundalk make the group stages of either competition you have no hope.

Hammer Archer

Isn't there someone on here who still maintains that McMillan is sh!t?

Can confirm from his time with us he's sh*t..




On the wing.




Well done Baraclough.

Oh right, well then you're pretty much guaranteed to win it. My bad.

You seem awfully bitter.

Bate body language is pretty poor.

He wasnt particularly good with us in 2011. Tried hard but his finishing could be all over the place although he did score a cracker against UCD in Richmond. I always thought he was decent enough and would liked to have kept him on but then Fagan came in 2012 and we were grand without him.

In all fairness, from 2011-2013 you'd be hard pushed to find someone who thought he'd lead the line for the champions of Ireland at any point in his career.

For those wondering how much they can earn.

Before kicking a ball, Dundalk earned €300,000 for participating in the second round of Champions League qualifying.

Winning that guaranteed them another 630,000.

Victory tonight, however, ensures they will receive €4.2 million more. At worst. They will receive €3 million for turning up in the Champions League qualifier round and should they lose that (though no one is in the mood to hypothesis on failure) they will get another €1.2 million for participation in the Europa League group phase.

Victory in the playoff and their resultant (and historic) participation in the Champions League group stage will see them get €10 million more.

To put all this into context, they earned € 110,000 for winning the 2015 League of Ireland title.

Yup, all good well wishing and all, and I don't like to be bitter, but if you support anyone else this would be a disaster for your club.

SantryRed

God that was such a huge chance for McEleney.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Great performance from Dundalk but for a team who are regularly in the champions league group stages BATE are incredibly poor.
