Pats at 5

UCD and Cork at 7:45

[Briuk]

I was going through Skonto roster and I am surprised nobody noticed that Kalonas the lithuanian who played for bohemians in 2008 is there.

[Nugget]

Is there a big crowd expected for UCD? Seems to be a good few neutrals heading along.

He's not in their squad list on UEFA website. I notice he's in their squad list on Wiki though, maybe where you got it from?

His contract was cancelled a few weeks ago for 'disciplinary reasons'

No idea really - haven't seen that it's sold out as yet anyway, which places crowd under 1500.

I'd be quite happy with 1000 - 500 home, 100 away and 400 neutrals. I know there's a fair few people who'd go to the odd game making an extra attempt for this one, and I'm sure the club are putting out word like when we were in the FAI Cup semi/League Cup final.

That's still probably being optimistic; a pessimistic view could halve those figures and more.

He was a nice player.

[nigel-harps1954]

Pats name the starting team:

Clarke, Browne, Bermingham, Hoare, O'Brien, Forrester, Chambers, Brennan, Bolger, Greene, Fagan

Another random ex LoI link - Alan Mannus currently keeping goal for St Johnstone away to Alashkert in Armenia.

0-0 after 35 minutes there.

[nigel-harps1954]

Anyone have any links to Setantas live coverage for those of us not actually having setanta?

EDIT: Found this: http://cricfree.sx/watch/live/skonto-riga-vs-st-patrick-athletic-live-streaming

Will wait and see if it comes on. For some reason I thought the coverage started at 4:30, turns out it's at 4:55.

Just got this from a friend:

-------------------

Don’t really know why I am writing this but need to say it today of all Days.

Five years ago we the supporters of Cork City FC took the club over which has been destroyed from top to bottom. We started with nothing and fair play to the FAI they gave our entity FORAS CO-OP a division 1 license we had no team no manager no ground some money in the Bank from fundraisers, in tandem they refused to give Cork City FC as it was then a license of any sort, this company later went into liquidation, we bought the rights to the name CCFC from the receiver, the FAI had already granted us the history of the old CCFC. We played our first game away to Derry 7 Days after getting the License, we travelled with a squad of 14 including 2 keepers and a manager Tommy Dunne who arrived 5 days earlier we drew 1-1. Our first home game we got 6000 people through the gate and the rest as they say is history.

Now only hours away from our first Europa League game against KR from Iceland I remember cold School Hall meetings setting up FORAS also sitting in the High Court waiting for Judgment from Justice Mary LaFoy in winding up the old club and her refusing to do this because of the supporters and what it meant to a lot of people, that grace period gave us enough time (3 weeks) to work out what to do next and here we are today second in the League and making our Euro debut nerves rattled, stomach twisted figures tingling sweaty palms and every minute is like an hour this must be the Longest Day ever, to say I and others are emotional is a very large understatement, what we the board both present and previous and 400 members of FORASs have achieved is just incredible and we still give ourselves a hard time! , AM I BUZZEN? AM I F***ING WHAT

[nigel-harps1954]

Yee-hooo! Hon Pats.

[colonelwest]

Belter of a finish from Greene there!

[Kingdom]

Super start for Pats!

[L.T.F.C.]

Ping!

[SkStu]

Just about to edit as I'd missed the same link on the previous page. Duh...

Sean Hoare is a lucky lucky boy there.

Yeah, there's usually a hidden x far away from the opposite x (which is usually a hyperlink), but nothing doing here. Pain in the hole.

Nothing of the sort for me. Only thing annoying me is the poor quality!

Jonathan Ross has taken a new position in Riga.

[SkStu]

thumper.

[pineapple stu]

1-1 now.

Took a bit of a nick on the way to take it away from the keeper I think?

[adamd164]

Saw this on Twitter... Turner's Cross ahead of tonight's game.

Differdange from Luxembourg 1-0 up on Bala Town from Wales inside 5 minutes. Interesting to see how the LoW fares against Luxembourg compared to the LoI.

Also, Odd 1-0 up away to Sheriff inside 5 minutes - the winners play the winners of Rovers v Progres.

Edit - Differdange 2-0 Bala now; 8 minutes gone!

[L.T.F.C.]

Great counter. Should have scored.

[Dunny]

That was coming in fairness 2-1 Skonto

[SPXcyan]

Feck sake pats! should have controlled that game.

[PartySaint]

Shocking stuff from Pats. As soon as we scored we shat ourselves and sat back. Should have went at them and killed the tie off

[SkStu]

Pats were fantastic in the first half I thought. Should/could have had 2 or 3. I missed the second half though, sounds like they were well on top?

[oriel]

Only saw the second half, and Skonto didn't look that good. Pity Pats couldn't have got something out of the game, disappointing result.

[SkStu]

Cork City v. Geysir coming up now. any links to this online?

Looking forward to updates from UCD v. Dudelange, Where's My Car?

[nigel-harps1954]

Missed most of the second half myself, but first half I thought was entertaining enough with both sides trying to play a bit of good passing football. Two good first half goals and a good free-flowing game. Seems as though the second half was just 45 minutes too many for the Pats players in the tough heat and blinding sun.

Just radio commentary for this http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cork-city-live-match-streaming?utm_campaign=www.corkcityfc.ie&utm_source=ustre.am%2FT44G&utm_medium=social&utm_content=20150702111643

There's no live coverage of it anywhere that I can find. Neither Irish not Icelandic TV are showing it. Rebel Radio is all I can find broadcasting any sort of radio coverage.

[Dunny]

In case anyone missed it here is Greenes Goal complete with Latvian commentary.

The Skonto goals are on the same channel:

1-0 City!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Benno

[micls]

1-1. Seems like KR are on top at the moment.

[bennocelt]

See on the uefa updates, glancing at it "corbett makes a save" is prominent at least 5 times!

holy feck, they score
UCD

[Dunny]

G'wan da UCD :D

[TheBoss]

At this particular moment in time, League of Ireland clubs combined number of goals conceded in European competitions is currently 999 from 501 games.

PMSL @ Jonn O'Sullivan on Twitter


They'll be dancing in the streets of the applied physics lab tonight.UCD winning in Europe.

[pineapple stu]

Lovely goal too. Played in; slotted neatly past the keeper.

But we're under the cosh the last 20 minutes

[Real ale Madrid]

Great stuff UCD.

City did ok for a while but are strangely lethargic. Both goals from set pieces. Need to really improve concentration and intensity for the 2nd half. I like KR, they have a nice mix of a bit of griunt and footballing ability, but look shaky at the back to say the least.
