I have been to games here and in England. If you left a game here because "two little scobes started fighting"...don't go to a game in England. I have even sat in what is considered the library that is the Emirates and witnessed fellows pucking each other. It's just...football.

I reckon I've seen about 7 fights at loi games, I'm going to those games over the last 25 odd years.

I've been to about 20 games in England and I've seen about 5 fights and a full scale riot.


Basically , you can see 2 scrotes fighting outside Tesco, doesn't mean you should stop shopping there.

You've probably seen worse after nights out but I bet that hasn't stopped you from venturing to the local though.

Don't go out much.

It was just first impressions and all that... if the crowd hadn't gathered, fair enough, but it just left a bad taste in my mouth, I mean the match was ongoing...

Anyway, go Dundalk!

If Two scrotes were fighting at tesco, the first time I went, I don't think I'd shop there. I just avoid that kind of stuff.

We all avoid that kind of stuff. But it can happen anywhere, unless you are going to live your life like a hermit.

Unlike RTE to jump on a bandwagon like this.

NIMAN

I'd say RTE are doing Novena's for a Dundalk v Celtic draw.

mansize

TV3 have the rights to one of the matches it seems. Celtic would be the dream draw from a TV execs pov

NIMAN

Surely Dundalk should have waited til the draw was made to decide on the Aviva?

I mean, if they get APOEL how many are going to turn up to the Aviva? Tallaght would be the better option in that case imho.

Cool story, bro.

They would in their fúck. They would pocket the money themselves !!

Even if it went towards the FAI's debt, better than giving Dundalk a free pass on renting Lansdowne.

Media reports say they can't get Tallaght ready in time.

Genk just much better on the ball. Needed two up front from the start, Maguire too small to be on his own when chasing a game. Ref way too lenient re time-wasting. How many frees did Genk give away without bookings? Must have been up to 15.

Jelle1880

First half was pretty horrible from Cork, second was better but far too late.

aodea

Cork had a great run in fairness. Genk were very good especially first half, if their finishing was better would have been more. Knocking out Linfield and Hacken is great and can only bode well in future. They got 6 games in Europe good experience.

Hopefully Dundalk get a good draw for the Qualifier.

SantryRed

I can't wait to see how much crap UEFA manage to fit into drawing 20 teams out of a hat...

These draws are the most mundane things going.

So according to the Saorview EPG, program is on for 10 minutes. 6 minutes in, and not a single ball drawn yet.

Have you never seen a draw ?
It's always like that

Mint Sauce

NOT Celtic!

Celtic v Hapoel. Thank ****

Seen plenty. Just as long as RTE News does cut out mid draw.

No Celtic for Dundalk

Mint Sauce

Legia Warsaw.

Dundalk v Legia

noodler

Legia

SantryRed

That's a fantastic draw. BATE would be better than them.

justshane

Tough draw, not the toughest though.

major bill

Legia,

Good draw, the best alternative to Celtic for Away fans and not a bad tie in the footballing sense, big ask but not impossible.

noodler

Home in the first leg?

In Dublin ? Doubtful :pac:

kksaints

Probably the best draw Dundalk could have hoped for. Just dont have all your defenders get injured in the 2nd leg like we did in 2014.

Irish_rat

Legia is a tough draw. Was hoping for APOEL

Mint Sauce

Hopefully the FAI keep sales to the lower tiers of Lansdowne Rd now. Still would have preferred Tallaghtfornia though.

justshane

Possibly 60/40 Dundalk Legia fans in the first leg? Not good in that regard.

Either ain't too bad. APOEL have a great record but are a bit like BATE in their set-up it seems to me. Ryanair flights going up now. :pac:

How many Legia fans do you think would show? How would the tickets be sold to them actually? Can the FAI sell "away" tickets without going through the away club?

I can see them try and get as much money out of this as possible and sell to whoever wants to get one.

Mint Sauce

1pm for the full fixture details to be released. Assume this is when we find out exact dates for home and away legs.

Some of the 100k + Poles living in Ireland might be interested in seeing the game regardless of club affiliation.
