Heard ticket sales for corks home game were quite high from the start. Hope it's not just a runaround, last game showed Genk can be got at.

If we keep it respectable then we should be ok, of course an away goal would be vital to us having any chance of going through but Im not thinking about that, just going to enjoy the occasion, heading over tomorrow night to make a fool of myself on 10% Belgium beer.

7pm kick off for Dundalk so no one is caught out. 0-0 after 6 mins.

Captain Havoc

Mother of God, my heart with that slip.

Mr.Crinklewood

BATE just hit the cross bar.

Dundalk under severe pressure.

edgecutter

Dundalk need to get a hold of the ball for a while. BATE are all over them.

Captain Havoc

Dundalk are wasting their time hitting it high, they seem better on the floor.

Amirani

Can't believe how one sided this has been.

Mushy

Ah ref, red card surely

That's a joke, he punched him.

SantryRed

That's a disgraceful decision. Yet again, big reputation = favourable decisions. That's a big break Dundalk could have done with.

It was reckless and deserved a red. Ref doesn't want to make a big call.

mada999

what a chance!! needed that to go in!!

Captain Havoc

Great play

Mr.Crinklewood

Great play

mada999

Dundalk's touch has been horrible

edgecutter

Rogers kicking has been poor, giving away cheap balls.

Getting it hard to listen to this commentator...

They've been caught a couple of times and now they're giving up trying to play football. Need to show more conviction. BATE just running straight at the man in possession knowing he's going to panic and give it away.

edgecutter

Chances to pass it out, but Dundalk keep lumping it up to no one. If this continues it will only be a matter of time before BATE score.

Captain Havoc

The ref might not be on Dundalk's side but it looks like God is, 0-0 is a miracle.

SantryRed

Jesus lads, it's a lot easier said than done to just pass the ball out. Dundalk's problem at the minute is that they haven't got an identity. Some of them (ie O'Donnell/Rogers) are eager to play their normal way, but some others are pushing up.

What's crucial for Kenny is that they're all on the one wavelength. No point in Rogers passing the ball out to Boyle if he's immediately getting it back and onto his wrong foot. Similarly, if they are gonna try play off McMillan's head, they need to press up as a team so Horgan and co can get closer to him, because right now the BATE defenders can just duck and it plays through to the goalkeeper.

Encouraging half with Dundalk having two good chances. Away goal is crucial though. Can't see them keeping BATE quiet for 180 mins.

ShamoBuc

Doing well to be nil. Blatant red card not given. If the get away 1-0 loss they will be doing very well.

He's an absolute dose.

Wouldn't be shocked to see Mountney come on at half time.

I think they would be more effective trying to get balls for Horgan to run onto to. They aren't winning anything in the air.

Mr.Crinklewood

Possession! !

SantryRed

Pushing O'Donnell into the advanced role along with the two subs has made Dundalk look a lot more solid both in attack and defence.

Mr.Crinklewood

Lucky. ..

corny

One way traffic. Getting a little ragged now.

Mr.Crinklewood

Defense is getting shambolic.

If they concede one, it there could be a few more.

Mushy

Gonna be a long 20 minutes for Dundalk

mada999

dang

Mushy

Awful play

edgecutter

Poor from Gannon and Rogers, shouldn't have been beaten near post.

applehunter

Too casual from Gannon.

SantryRed

Wish I understood the handball rule. Bad pass. Definitely hand ball for Hleb to control the ball. Bad keeping.

tastyt

Rogers on the bench for Ireland was an absolute farce by the way

corny

Just like in Iceland only showing conviction on the ball when they concede. Shame. I think BATE are chancy chasing the ball. Couple of passes would take loads of them out of the game.

SantryRed

Kilduff has been atrocious since coming on. Causing Dundalk problems.

Amirani

Heary very negative - says he'd be happy with the 1-0 and thinks Dundalk should play counter in Tallaght for first 75 mins...

I haven't been able to listen to the commentary but I think he'd be right there.

Eir stream messing up for anyone else?

Yeah, I ended up watching it on youtube.

About as good as they could have expected. Keeps it alive for next week.

BATE will go through; neither team will score at Oriel. .........
