That was quick

[pineapple stu]

Derry 1-0 down already...

4 minutes gone

[pateen]

derry down 1. Balls

[DannyInvincible]

Ack, they score a header from a set-piece after two minutes. Bad defending. Bad start.

[L.T.F.C.]

Decent pressure and play there from Derry. Are people watching a stream without commentary?

Derry fans cheering at hitting the side netting.

[Closed Account]

2-0 now, boo

[DannyInvincible]

Better from Derry now. Two corners in quick succession, an optimistic long-range effort from Aaron McEneff and a good run from Nathan Boyle, but his shot ends up in the side-netting. Derry fans behind the goal were celebrating thinking it was in. Thought it as in myself. A bit more hopeful anyway.

Edit: Derry concede another just as I've posted that. Poor defending from set-pieces.

[L.T.F.C.]

Two nil now!

[pineapple stu]

Coleraine 6-0 down now, midway through the second half

[DannyInvincible]

Cork's potential next-round opponents, AEK Larnaca, are 2-0 up at home to Lincoln Red Imps now with half an hour left.

[pineapple stu]

3-0 there now

[pineapple stu]

Poor night for the island clubs so far.

Coleraine now 7-0 down. Bala 2-0 down at home to Vaduz after 20 minutes. Bangor with a respectable 1-0 loss away v Lyngby. Connah's Quay scoreless v HJK so far.

AEK 4-0 up now, and no doubt that they'll go through

[pineapple stu]

1-0 Connah's Quay!

They knocked out Stabaek last year

[ger121]

Connah's Quay at it again in Europe.

[pineapple stu]

And Derry 3-0 down. Ho hum

[DannyInvincible]

3-0 to Midtjylland. This time a penalty after Doherty brought down their attacker in the box.

[joey B]

Having the 2nd leg at 'home' in Sligo looking a bit of a disaster for Derry now.

[DannyInvincible]

Derry haven't even been playing that badly in open play. Midtjylland have just been very clinical at set-pieces. They're quick in attack and their technical ability is evident, but I sense they're not as strong at the back as they are up front. Derry were having some joy down the left, especially through Curtis at one point. There might be a goal in Derry yet, but the scoreline so far is terribly disappointing.

[pineapple stu]

St Johnstone 1-0 down at home to Trakai of Lithuania.

The SPL's traditional fine European campaigns off to a good start

[DannyInvincible]

Don't know how Curtis wasn't awarded a penalty there. He was clearly tripped in the box.

[Briuk]

I know there isn't TV for Shamrock.
But is there any radio or live commentary apart from Twitter and the Europa league official one?

Thanks

[ger121]

Crusaders 1 up

[DannyInvincible]

Derry 4-0 down now.

[DannyInvincible]

5-0. Disaster.

[ger121]

5-0 now

[Longfordian]

Good thing they have a free weekend to prepare for the next leg.

[sbgawa]

They should rearrage the Harps game.
Dissapointed for them. Playing second leg in showgrounds is a real downer as well with the tie over. Bad draw.

[ger121]

2-0 Crusaders. St Johnstone 2-1 down at home.

[White Horse]

Nightmare for Derry, but it was a tough draw. Rovers and Cork were very fortunate with their opponents.

[DannyInvincible]

Curtis gets a goal back for Derry after some really careless play at the back between Midtjylland's keeper and defender. 5-1.

[ger121]

The comeback is on!!

[DannyInvincible]

Midtjylland have a goal ruled out for offside and Doherty makes a good save with their attacker pretty much clean through a minute later. I'd say they could have another goal or two left in them yet. They're getting so much space.

[DannyInvincible]

Cracking long-range effort by McEneff, but it clips the cross-bar and goes over.

Another Midtjylland goal ruled out due to offside.

Rory Patterson comes off. Didn't really offer much against this sort of opposition.

[pineapple stu]

It is 6 now.

When was the last hammering like this?

(Edit - now that it's gone beyond UCD 1-5 Slovan...)

[nigel-harps1954]

6-1. I can't say I'm not enjoying this.

[DannyInvincible]

6-1. The game is ridiculously open now. Derry all over the place at the back. Total disorganisation and chaos with Midtjylland routinely slicing through the Derry defence like a knife through butter.

[ger121]

It is 6 now.

When was the last hammering like this?

(Edit - now that it's gone beyond UCD 1-5 Slovan...)

Was it Derry against the Belarusian side in 2nd round?

[pineapple stu]

That was 5-1 as well. Just checking rsssf to see what it shows.

Edit - Pat's 0-5 Legia in 2014, albeit that Pat's had very nearly won the away leg.

Dundalk 0-6 Levski Sofia in 2010 too, in the second round.

Rovers 0-7 Gornik Zabrze in 1994.

And that's really it until you go back to the 80s. (And I should note our game against Slovan was 2-1 and very competitive until 10 minutes to go.
This looks like a right hammering tonight)

[DannyInvincible]

Rovers still 0-0 in Iceland at least. Seems a bit more evenly matched.

[ger121]

That was 5-1 as well. Just checking rsssf to see what it shows.

Dundalk lost 7 or 8 nil against Sofia back - few years ago

[osarusan]

6-1 with a couple of minutes to go. Derry being toyed with now, could have been 10 if they had tried.

[DannyInvincible]

Full-time in Denmark. Derry lose 6-1. Very poor.

[sbgawa]

Rovers score !!

[pineapple stu]

1-0 Rovers!

[DannyInvincible]

1-0 to Rovers. Gary Shaw with the important away goal.

[ger121]

Could be an important goal

[sbgawa]

Gary shaw ! Hitting a decent run of form

[Philosophizer]

Anyone got stream for rovers??

[pineapple stu]

Crusaders are 3-0 up. WTF?!

Edit - and Connah's Quay have beaten HJK 1-0 at home

[sbgawa]

I was already dreading sitting in tallaght after not getting a goal in the first leg . The away goal is huge
