The Big Fat European Latest Thread

[Ezeikial]

good luck to both, pity there wasn't 3 teams still competing.

Do you mourn for Sligo or Bohs?

[OneRedArmy]

Nope. In the past maybe I'd have hoped you progressed, but now it's clear that European progress is only likely to help paper over the cracks of massive overspending. And the sooner that stops the better for DCFC and indeed for the whole league.Europe is irrelevant to our overspending (unfortunately). The idea that's it's a money spinner is simply not true. The cost of transporting a professional set-up and hosting games eats up the money on offer for the early rounds*.

I'm fairly sure our die is cast at this stage anyway.

*unless you draw an English or German team in which case the TV money us huge.

[Mr A]

Didn't Kenny say in the Journal though that if ye didn't make it past Skonto ye were more or less fecked? That's more or less what I based this on.

[boneym]

Good luck to both teams tomorrow night. Do the League proud

[Dodge]

*unless you draw an English or German team in which case the TV money us huge.

Not neccessarily. Last year there was 7 German teams in European action and some didn't get any live TV

[paul_oshea]

Last Wednesday night still hurts :(

it might hurt that bit more for ye, if you were to look and see zagreb are losing to red bull salzburg....:(

[brianw82]

+1

All he best Pats and Derry, wish I could make the Pats game but I work away.

I'll be there on Sunday though, run yourselves into the ground and don't worry about Sunday it's not imprtant ;)

Yup, hope Pats and Derry get good results but absolutely knacker themselves in the process so that my bets on Sunday win. :)

Derry look very comfortable in that half, they do not look a great team.

Derry look very comfortable in that half, they do not look a great team.

Yeah, its been easy for us so far, CSKA havent impressed me at all so far. Also their players like to dive a lot.

[bennocelt]

any chance of an away goal or are Derry keeping it defensive?

[paul_oshea]

that was a superb chance.

[Predator]

Would be great to see Nash and Farren come on for Derry. Nash for the height and Farren for the pace. Revert to 4-4-2 and run at them as they tire.

[Dunny]

Doherty keeping them in this.

[brianw82]

Derry under huge pressure now. You'd have to think the likelihood of them keeping a clean sheet is slim...

[paul_oshea]

derry are looking good on the break, they look fast, bohemian didnt have the same pace on the counter as derry have had. Lets just hope they can keep that clean sheet as i see htem having a really good chance when they get back to free derry.

[Mr A]

1-0 cska

[brianw82]

Derry concede...

[Dunny]

Fu*k it anyway..

[paul_oshea]

jinx :evil:

come on derry get that goal/

[Predator]

No!!

Last 15 now to pull one back. Come on!

[paul_oshea]

aw my god.savage build up play but i would have done better myself from there! maybe he wasn't expecting it.

[OneRedArmy]

I'd take a 1 nil tbh.

[Predator]

I'd take a 1 nil tbh.
Sorry, Derry fans don't take 1-0 defeats.

[paul_oshea]

I'd take a 1 nil tbh.

well its your team, but if i were you i would be very disappointed with a 1 - 0 defeat, derry have not deserved to lose this game, as they have played well, countered well, held up the ball well, showed for it and play some nice one-touch football, it is in complete contrast to the way that bohemians played away to salzburg the last day. I honestly feel they deserve more from this game.

[OneRedArmy]

Sorry, Derry fans don't take 1-0 defeats.

Thanks for making my mind up for me....

[NavanBohs]

held up the ball well, showed for it and play some nice one-touch football, it is in complete contrast to the way that bohemians played away to salzburg the last day.

:confused:
Are you having a laugh?

[longfordjames]

Pats go close.

[paul_oshea]

NO and another thing they do is hold the ball up and wait till there are men in support instead of hitting it forward to the lone man who is surrounded by 2 or 3 players and is only going to lose it.

[paul_oshea]

i can see derry wining at home but i can see these lot scoring too.

[Mr A]

1-0 ft

[Predator]

Thanks for making my mind up for me....

No sweat.

[Umberside]

1-0 ft

Not the worst result, they still have a very good chance at the Brandywell.

[Mad Moose]

Sets the tie up nicely at the Brandywell next week. A draw would have been fantastic. This tie is for overturning.

[Flexy]

I was afraid of pasteing before the match, but now i think we could take them at the brandywell, we should kick the tripe out of the diving cheats, ne a bad result though away

[OneRedArmy]

I'd have taken it before the match so not really disappointed. A second goal would've ended the tie, but I'm not sure nil nil would've been that much better for us.

Bear in mind Derry have been struggling bigtime in the league so we need to be realistic.

All to play for next week.

Come on Pats.

[bennocelt]

unlucky, still in the tie and that sets up a great tie for next week (isnt it next week?)
Would you think RTE might show it - cough cough:p

[longfordjames]

Anyone else listening to it on www.saintsforum.net (http://www.saintsforum.net) commentary?

Link please?

[dancinpants]

Like above, I'd have taken the 1-0 before kick off....no shame in that result at all. The ties still alive and thats all you can ask for ahead of the return leg at the Brandy.

[Dunny]

Link please?

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/st-pats-live-commentary

[Candystripe]

Glad this tie is still alive as I wasn't confident before the game.

After watching it I feel we have a decent chance next week as long as we have a ref who clamps down on all that diving they did.

Com on Pats.
