Qarabag showing all their experience last 15 slowing and breaking up the game. I hope Linfield nick a goal....
Oppps! They fairly celebrated that winner!
Well the last 10 minutes were evenful. A few ifs and buts for Linfield too, penalty decision at home was key. Ye know it whets the appetite for an all island league. Yes the draw favoured Linfield but they scared the bejaysus out of Qarabag. Some more umm intensity in a domestic competition would be of benefit to any club with European aspiraton.

Linfield will be kicking themselves for conceding late goals in both legs

I guess ... 5th best team in Scotland, if not worse. He's 28, prime years. could have a PL club interested if he continues doing well for Qarabag. He was one of the main thorns in Dundalk's side in the 2 matches. Looked class again tonight. Unlucky on Linfield overall though. But they could have lost by more at the same time.

Riga looking a different side to whom we faced also. 10 minutes to save the tie v Copenhagen.
Was sure that chance was in!! Copenhagen on the heels!

All eyes on F91 Dudelange, come on for the minnows, gone to ET

On Dudelange actually - their captain is their keeper, Jonathan Joubert. He's there since 2004, and last year he was on the cusp of playing in the group stages - unfathomable when he joined the club - only to break his leg in the play-off win and miss the entire group stage. At 39, it looked like his last chance had gone. But now, 40 next month, he's saved a penalty and kept them well in the tie (I was watching on skorlive and they're the better team actually). It'd be great for him to get another chance to play in the groups.

Second half of extra time held up to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre on a home player. I've never seen that happen before...

Dudelange are through on penalties; Joubert saved the first and - barring injury!! - will finally make his group stage debut at the age of 40.
The Armenian wait for a first side in the group stages goes on.
Ararat ar eone of those weird new eastern European sides. Formed in 2017 (!) they started in the second level, finished third and were promoted about 20 points behind the other two as the top division expanded from six (!) to nine, then won the league in 2018-19 and couldn't have hand picked a better draw to almost make it to the groups

So actually the Armenian team were the underdogs, wow!
The last Dudelange peno was a peach, in off the butt of the post just past the glks outstretched hand, perfect peno.

Dudelange have won the last 4 titles in Lux and 9 of the last 12 and were in the groups last year so have loads of Euro experience and loads of coefficient. Ararat exist for 2 years!

One last Euro hurrah for the season so - the Youth League draw is on Tuesday at 1pm. Bohs are our representatives. No pools available yet, but I would say a likely pool is Honka (FIN), ĶA (ISL), Sogndal (NOR), Rangers (SCO), Midtylland (DEN), Elfsborg (SWE) and Derby (ENG)

Free in tonight and all Schoolboy /youth teams from all clubs invited.
Had over 1500 for Mittelland last year, so would be surprised if it is less than that.

Bohs missed a peno in a 1-1 draw. Another excellent result in the competition. Really emphasises that the LoI goes badly wrong after underage - probably because it's a part-time league, even for Rovers/Dundalk (who are playing p/t opponents)

Well done to the young Bohs lads, certainly far from being off the level. I hate that it is another 'almost' story of LoI in Europe to add to the list mind. I'm not sure that I get the structure fully but senior clubs that make CL group stages also have their youth teams qualify? What if a top club's youth side is muck in a particular year?! It wouldnt make much difference to the big leagues but there should be some significant reward for a club for having their youth teams qualify and progress - maybe some addition to a clubs overall co-efficient, or a decent amount of money awarded (that is to be ringfenced for youth development). It would 'encourage' the likes of DFC ownership to look more at the youth setup for example!? Maybe a bit out there in thinking or how the likes could be worked but to help minimise the horse trading aspect of youth development, somehow rewarding a club for youth progresion to a senior team should be a consideration!? But that'd be a more local issue than UEFA i'd think.

How much money would bohs get for European u19 match? Do they just cover travel costs or is there prize money?

Just travel costs.
I think UCD flew into Molde on the morning of the game in 2017 to keep costs down

So it promotes short term gain and not consider the future development of players. Grand so if in a big league but creates a burden for small clubs. Considering the money floating around the game a bit more than expenses should be paid. It's not as if there are hundreds of elite youth teams that will be participating considering the setup! It's bordering on unethical to to have to fly a team in to Norway, play a game, fly out asap and recover. Greece is no city hopper flight either!

I think Bohs went out the day before but yep, cost is a big factor. didn't see the game but apparently we gave it a decent 'go', they are a decent side but was very difficult when we didn't get a lead at home (THAT peno !!!).No complaints but a little 'if only'.
Given our player turnover at senior level and our limited resources we have taken the underage set up very seriously and, allied to our link up with Kevin's (both players and contacts) we have unearthed some very, very good young players.
