League of Ireland in Europe 2016

Mushy

Thought Finn would shoot

Mars Bar

Horgan has every right to be annoyed at himself there. Should have been getting more purchase on that shot

Francie Barrett

Dundalk getting some half chances, but not testing the keeper.

frisbeeface

Looking good, really knocking on the door.

Francie Barrett

Maccabi pretty poor it has to be said. Everything through the middle and it's just not working, allowing Dundalk to counter.

frisbeeface

Good opportunity to create a really clear chance there

Mr.Nice Guy

Hope they don't rue these missed chances. Plenty of encouragement to be had from that half nonetheless.

Francie Barrett

ht 0-0

Dundalk looking the better team, but showing no composure in front of goal.

justshane

Dundalk playing great until the shot. Maccabi have done their research on Horgan, doubling up on him but he's doing well.

That really is what's letting them down. Horgan for Ireland

TheCitizen

Dundalk well in this. That looked like a penalty in regular time, did the ref book Benson for diving? They've had the more clear cut chances so far.

Horgan should be nowhere near the Ireland squad. Hes a very good league of Ireland player and would probably make a decent career elsewhere but he's not any better than the options we have already. McLean is a guaranteed started and he's a far better footballer playing at a far higher level.

Have a look at the Ireland squad there, the full squad, and then have a think about what you just said there.

I disagree. Certainly not far better anyway.

Such bull to be fair. Kevin Kilbane reckons he's surpassing McGeady at the moment(who is in the squad)and is familiar with the standard of the championship. I'd trust his judgment above yours.

So far so good,,3pts a real possibility

Whats the app called ??

(can someone PM me pls)

Francie Barrett

I don't know how good Horgan will become, but right now he'd easily be able to play in a decent Championship level team. That kind of form would be good enough to make the Ireland squad at least.

frisbeeface

Really good mix of pressing and sitting deep from Dundalk. Maccabi can barely play out of their half.

Francie Barrett

Dundalk work rate has been outstanding, big test to see can they maintain it.

Gavin "shels"

Been doing well so far.

Mahony0509

McMillan is shocking. Hasn't a clue what he's doing.

TheCitizen

Macabbi look a bit lethargic at times. Dundalk may get an opportunity here.

Francie Barrett

Maccabi just stepping it up here.

Francie Barrett

Maccabi in control now, way to intricate with the passing though.

sonic85

Seems to be slowing down a bit. I know there's still 20 minutes left but I think the best they can hope for now is a scoreless draw.

Anyone on the bench with a bit of pace to try open things up a bit?

Oat23

OMGG

Mr.Nice Guy

Get in there!

sonic85

I've never been so happy to be wrong! Fair fcuking play to em - lovely goal

Agent Coulson

Awesome from Dundalk

Mars Bar

Brilliant! What a delivery from Horgan

Omackeral

SCENES!!!



Call up Horgan!!!!

Francie Barrett

Long 17 minutes to hold out now.

TheCitizen

Nice 1. Israeli side were half asleep. Hard work starts now to see it out.

Hopefully they can grab a second.

Duff

Kilduff will never have to buy a drink in town again, and Horgan is Damien Duff reincarnated.

frisbeeface

Fitness levels are mighty

Cmon The Town. Thats a 2nd league title in money earned!!!

Francie Barrett

Big smile on Martin O'Neill's face anyway. I'd say Horgan is almost certainly in the next squad.

edgecutter

Well done Dundalk, just need to hold out now.

McLean is an important player in an English premier league side. He doesn't look as impressive cause he faces better players. Simple enough really.

Francie Barrett

Jaysus, Benayoun to save the day? Thought he was retired years ago.

A_Sober_Paddy

Kilduff should get a call up, will suit negative Martin's approach, ideal kinda player for the last 15 minutes when we need a goal...horgan is a class act

Mushy

This will be difficult

I've seen them both play in person on multiple occasions at the same level as each other. Simple enough really.

frisbeeface

Fair play Massey. Big danger signals now. Hang on lads.

Mushy

Great block by massey, got to slow it right down.

Christ they had numbers there

That_Guy

Horgan is an absolute class act.
