Game on. Missed the first 15 mins but so far Sheriff have not looked anything special, definitely don't seem any better than Celje from a few weeks ago based on tonight anyway.

joeysoap

Much better link, thanks.

Deserved that goal.

Sheriff are really rough

Tchaikovsky

Get in there!!

Nothing to be afraid of from Sheriff.

And the Faroes side are beating Tbilisi at half-time too. Huge 45 minutes coming up for Dundalk. Group stages are within reach. They are playing well. Lets finish the job.

Come on the town from a Shels fan. Beautiful header

Tbilisi are 2-0 down. Christ.

What an opportunity they have here.

dan1895

3-0

Gone 3-nil. Whoever wins between Dundalk and these will be home

dan1895

Four nil to the Faroese

Pighead

4-0 now to the Faroes. My initial joy at seeing them going ahead has lessened with each goal they score. Now I'm thinking maybe these fcukers are actually a good team...

Tbilisi have been poor in Europe this year. Lost to Tirana in the CL 2-0 at home then snuck past Connahs Quay 1-0 in the round before this.

5-1. Have Tblisi had a load of positive cases in the squad lately?

Dillonb3

Extra time now. My nerves

Hammer Archer

Christ I thought they had it right at the end.
They've been easily the better side in the second half without really testing the keeper.

joeysoap

Should really be ahead

I see Harry Kenny has joined Wexford as their assistant manager. That's a bit of a coup for them. While he struggled as our manager last year he was assistant manager when we won the league in 2013 and seems like an allround good bloke.

That's what I checked at 2-0 but the squad looks the very similar to one from a league match last month.

joeysoap

Over 2 legs Dundalk would be laughing.


Pity didn’t they play this way against Celje

Sheriff look a midtable LOI team at best.

Hammer Archer

Sheriff don't look bothered.

sonic85

Dundalk should've had this won in normal time. Surprised Duffy went off - he was very lively

PhilipsR

Terrible game of football this.

What’s the europa league prize money on offer for the group stages this year?

3 million in prize money I think. We'll be kicking ourselves if we get bet by these journeymen

they're just not very good. Sligo, Pats, Bohs and Waterford have given Dundalk harder games than this.

Zebra3

Has the shoot out started?

EDIT

Yep 1:1 so far.

Francie Barrett

Silly penalties so far.

Francie Barrett

Sheriff miss...

Scorpion Sting

Good man Gary.

4-2 Dundalk

WE DONE IT!!!!!!!!! MON THE TOWN

Oat23

That sound you hear in the distance is LOI fans desperately trying to delete all their Giovagnoli posts/tweets from 4 weeks ago :pac:

edgecutter

Well done Dundalk, great chance to progress further in the comp as well.

Scorpion Sting

Well done Dundalk. Great chance to go all the way to the group stage now.

Samba soccer ftw.

Well done Dundalk. A deserved result.

davycc

Congratulations Dundalk. You should have beaten them in normal time..

Hammer Archer

Perfect penalties from Dundalk.
Who's at home in the next round or is it back to two legs? Golden opportunity if they're home against the Faroese. Cannot believe they beat Tbilisi 6-1.

fatbhoy

Great to see no social distancing with Dundalk celebrating the win...they'll all have covid and Rovers will win the league. C'mon the hoops!!

:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

Guffy

Better team until 2nd half of et from the bots i caught at work. Fair play. New guy passes first real test too, some nice play.

kksaints

Fair play to Dundalk. Sheriff were fairly poor but it's the kind of match most LOI teams would have thrown away. Excellent opportunity to get to the group stage now.

One leg tie in Ireland next week.

PhilipsR

Must be the easiest run to a Europa League group stage ever.

They have to take advantage of the opportunity next week!

ben.schlomo

Well done Dundalk, great pens and a cracker of a save from Galway Utd legend Gary Rogers.

TheCitizen

Great result

Dudelange from Luxembourg done the same from last year- had to play teams from Macedonia, Estonia and Armenia to make the groups.

Looking at the playoff round ourselves and KI got the best draw, all other "Minnows" got horrible draws

Hammer Archer

Gotta say, some balls on Shields with the last penalty. Proper sprinted up for it before burying it.

To be fair, on paper, Sheriff away wasn't exactly an easy draw given they regularly make the group stages.

If they beat Klaksvik from the Faroe Islands next week they are in the group stages.
