If you had've drawn a single game in the group stages last season you'd have been seeded too. Why focus on results outside of your control

A Win + Draw/Win was needed to get more coefficient from the group stages.

When you are given the easiest seeded team and don't take the opperunity in beating them, that's disappointing in itself. Nothing can take away the disappointment of losing to them.

For the leagues sake we need a team to win the league with a rank that would see them seeded (Pats/Rovers)

many people (and not just Sligo fans) would argue that a non Dublin team winning the league would generate more interest which would be of much more benifit to the league than having a seeded team in Europe next season.

More interest where? You think Sligo winning the league will increase media attention or crowds anywhere else?

BTW I say this as someone who's posted in this thread more than most... "We" don't need any team in Europe. Chasing co-efficients is ultimately pointless. Nothing annoys me more on here than someone from a club who aren't within an arse's roar of Europe complaining about results of Bohs, Rovers, Sligo or Pats this year when talking about the co-efficient.

Let those who qualify do their best, and if it earns points great, if it doesn't, then so be it.

Great for them. Incredible result. Shows that winning the 2nd QR game in the Champions League means so much for clubs. If Rovers had've beaten a poor Ekranes side they'd still be in Europe.

Romanian journalist Emanuel Roşu‏ on twitter (@Emishor):


Steaua owner Becali after the 3-0 win vs Ekranas: "I never imagined such a poor football team existed. It's incredible! Shocking even!"

Sure any ol' Irish team can knock out Russian opponents.

In fact in knock out ties, the Russian League has never beaten the League of Ireland ;)
