LOI In Europe 2020

[pineapple stu]

Yup

Technically two walkovers - Slovan flew their U21s out when their first team scratched, but the 21s had covid as well.

[paul_oshea]

How would Dundalk fair for extra time?

Their keeper is dodge

[pineapple stu]

More blatant gamesmanship from Dundalk there.

Maybe the Moldovans are to blame though?

Murray didn't even bother to complain about his yellow.

[geysir]

4 nil to KÍ

[pineapple stu]

I think QPR threw away a 4-0 lead in Europe once. So still in the balance, that one.

Remarkable scoreline though. A record for a Faroese team?

[paul_oshea]

Goal disallowed for Dundalk. Slogget but foil on the keeper.

[Philosophizer]

4 nil to KÍ
I thought they were poor...

I was wondering where he went to. Hasn't been on the forum in a while..

[pineapple stu]

4-1. Vital away goal, the comeback is on, and other assorted cliches.

[pineapple stu]

5-1 now.

That's that.

5-1 now.
The record was broken 30 minutes ago.

Whoever wins tonight, KÍ will be no pushovers, even away from home.

[paul_oshea]

I think you're underestimating how poor Georgian football and dinamo are.

[paul_oshea]

Pitch is cutting up very badly.

[DCWA]

If Dundalk were to progress to the group stage we could have the very unexpected situation of the 3rd best team in the League of Ireland (as per current league standings before I have take a barrage from their fans on here) playing in the Europa League group stages.

[pineapple stu]

There's being poor and there's losing 5-1 in the Faroes in fairness. They drew at home against Feyernoord in the third round last year though, so they're not that bad (they did lost 4-0 away)

[Philosophizer]

Hoban being fouled something awful.

KÍ are only relevant if Dundalk get through, but yes they will be no pushovers.

[paul_oshea]

He is. It's the first time in Europe I've seen a team struggle with him

[pineapple stu]

Sheriff or Dundalk v KÍ or Dinamo Tbilisi for a place in the groups is actually the kind of tie I thought we'd see more regularly with EL2. Though it seems it won't quite work that way.

[pineapple stu]

6-1 now

[geysir]

6-1 in Thorshafn, seats in Valhalla now gauranteed

[ger121]

KÍ are only relevant if Dundalk get through, but yes they will be no pushovers.
Hence the part were I said “Whoever”.

[Philosophizer]

Thought Dan Kelly was gonna slot that one home

[Nesta99]

I hate football at times like this!!!

[nigel-harps1954]

Dundalk will be kicking themselves if they lose this. The Sheriff goalkeeper is brutal

[paul_oshea]

If Dundalk don't make it through this one it will be a massive regret

[Philosophizer]

God, what a chance.

[paul_oshea]

Stop copying me nigel

[nigel-harps1954]

Stop copying me nigel

If I'm starting to sound like you I might quit the forum altogether :cool::cool:

I thought he improved second half, but then he was all over the place for that high cross. You never turn around to follow the ball FFS - basic footwork.

Overall I think Sheriff are slightly the better of two largely ineffective teams. But the game is still very much in the balance.

[sbgawa]

Feck sake this is some chance, have to take it

[paul_oshea]

Sheriff look individually better which is the fear I'd have if it went to penalties. But theres only one team playing here tonight

Nail on the head here. Good individuals, but as a team they're there for the taking. Come on Dundalk!

[Philosophizer]

The Dan Kelly special there. Used to do that move all the time at Bohs. We can't keep wasting opportunities like that or we'll regret it.

[paul_oshea]

Pitch didn't do them any favours slogget falling all over the place.

[pineapple stu]

I don't know how a team like Sheriff can actually train given the amount of nationalities in the squad (many of whom seem to have only joined this year). Do they use English as a lingua franca? And I'd say if they don't sell their players within a year or two, they'll let them go and bring in someone else they've a better chance of flogging.

[paul_oshea]

The ref has been talking all night in English to them

[paul_oshea]

I haven't a clue but who would you be looking at for the 5 penos. No colovic. Duffy and shields and hoban? No one standing out to inspire confidence

[pineapple stu]

That might be standard in European games though. Wouldn't necessarily translate to training.

[Philosophizer]

This commentator is gas tho. If Sheriff get anywhere near goal he goes mad 😂

[pineapple stu]

I like when Kabic gets the ball. Commentator goes mad and it sounds like "garbage", so he's giving out about them. "Garbage, garbage, GARBAGE!" Jays, it's not that bad - he's just gone past two of them like

[Philosophizer]

I especially liked the way he was rolling the r in Murray's name earlier. We could do with a bit of that in LMFM...

[paul_oshea]

The commentator is saying that the players dont know the rules but I think rules means moves in this instance.

[pineapple stu]

I was given out to in Russia for not rolling my rs. Brought up on it instantly and made practice. Russian (I presume it's Russian he's speaking) is a great language.

[Sonny]

Sheriff are absolutely atrocious. This is almost comical to watch.

[CorribsideSteve]

And to be fair, he pronounces Hoban how it should be pronounced :p

[paul_oshea]

There's still on top the last 5 mins

Yes it's russian commentary. He's said Colombia a few times " the Colombian is too long thinking too long "

I learned a spot of Czech back in the day. They've a similarly tricky pronunciation of r. Lovely language too tho.
