Paok all over the shop defensively, look very rusty and disorganised in the back. Bohs deservedly in front

Brilliant from Bohs, and Coote! Get in!!! Geogie Kelly continues to blossom.

Agreed though. PAOK look off it. BUT, they can just click into gear when its really needed, as the game wears on. unlucky to an extent with some decent slide balls behind the Bohs back line.
We started nervously and have really grown into the game since. PAOK do look very dangerous still.
While Kelly did really well for the goal (lung busting run from Coote too), he also has been a little frustrating with some of his hold up play and when Tierney passed to him in what was more or less a two v one.

Agree with this Steve. They are finding the channels between our defenders very well.

Where are all those PAOK fans?
Sitting glumly beside a grinning Placid Casual obviously!
You have to genuinely admire how Bohs build/rebuild with young lads and have been playing in Europe fearlessly. I say that through gritted teeth and wont likely happen again!
Its a shame that there isnt a cauldron of Irish football fans (with PC cheerleading) as I think Bohs might need something extra to get over the line here. Talk of Bohs being under estimated, PAOK being rusty is a tad unfair, need to grab a second at minimum, pity that last chance was dragged wide. Hopefully there is no sitting back to stick as what they're doing is working though you can see how PAOK could carve open a chance in a blink. If they fear Bohs breaking it'd probably be as effective defensively as being tempted to sit in?
Bennocelt may groan but the social distancing is notable last two games in the Aviva including South Stand, especially this evening! Maybe an adjustment in stewarding but good to see fans complying too!!

Shane Supple's sighs when the danger is on, really add to the drama!

Paok only started to treat the game with some urgency when they went behind.
If bohs can hang on to 1 nil it would be an outstanding result.

Bohs have been excellent here,could be 2 up there…

This is an assured and a good a 45 mins I've seen in all my time watching teams in Europe. That said PAOK are just not sharp enough and so next week, forgetting about the second half for now, they won't be losing those first balls and overhitting and losing possession. They are dangerous but Bohs have been the better side thus far. And a little more pace up front and astuteness theyd be 2 up.
Devoy is doing it here too, he doesn't look out of place or his tricks
Unreal performance from us there. PAOK still likely to score but that last 35 mins was dominant.

Super from Bohs. PAOK look a bit shook.
Such a shame this wasn't picked up by any TV station, what a great advert for the LOI it could have been.
The lack of extra angles and more replays are hurting the coverage, but great to be able to see it, at least.

Nothing stupid now and they could get another one on the counter

Some going if it stays this way. I was at the previous two games in the Aviva, couldn’t make it on a Tuesday after a BH. I’m raging now, I’d say the atmosphere is electric over there.

I was just about to say that Bohs looking tired and now time to park the bus. Need to dig deep!

Excellent stuff so far from Bohs but they'll do very well to hang on to victory now.

So much for pre-season bohs are the ones tiring not paok. No supporting runs when they get forward so just inviting more pressure
sbgawa
03/08/2021, 8:26 PM
Paok looking different class since they decided to play. Bohs need to hang on to have any chance in the return

Bit harsh, they are playing a higher level of opposition to had to work harder never mind the nerves kicking in. Belief and play some keep ball needed.

Oooooh, that was a penalty missed by the ref there IMHO. Lucky for Bohs.
sbgawa

Great result for bohs but hard to see anything other than a convincing win for Paok next time.

Great result for Bohs, went in and played their own game for 50 minutes or so and went 2 up deservedly. Pity they tired so early on, I would have thought theyd have got closer than 75 mins on that one.
It will be a completely different (ball) game over in Greece but that doesnt matter, theyve earned good (coeff)points and proved themselves more than capable tonight.
Georgie kelly did phenomenally up front tonight, won almost everything and held it up very well.

Amazing. These are the nights you live for as a League of Ireland fan.

Well now, they didn't do too badly at all did they?
Best result for a LOI side in Europe since Dundalk wins against BATE and Maccabi in 2016, considering the strength of the opposition??

Easily I would say, considering the vast gaps between the realities the two teams operate at. Rovers got very creditable results against Brann and Bratislava, Cork beat Hacken of Sweden etc. But this was better.

Love it when ye see 'big club' players charging at the ref at FT, basically p1ssed at being beaten, hissy fit stuff. Discipline has been important from Bohs, few times they could have lunged in, tired and given away peno/frees/cards. Considering the subs though it was a bit tough on Talbot being carded for timewasting. He rushed things a wee bit after. Their bench didnt like it much - how dare they beat us stuff! Great job Bohs - we can only hope Dundalk can raise our game, Rovers already through of course so no worry there!

There’s more to it than tiring and it being a sign of poor fitness. Keith Long has been notoriously reluctant to use his bench this season which has meant that a lot of our players have put in some serious minutes over the course of the season. Bucko was dead on his feet on around 55 minutes but didn’t even get subbed. I couldn’t understand it.
That said, unbelievable result and despite the weary legs, the subs helped and the end of the game was hilarious, we were so composed and really made mugs of them in the injury time. They didn’t barely leave their half for the last few mins of injury time. One of the great European results for an Irish team.

Rovers got some money for Dan Carr getting some goals in a european run, curious will some random european club be sniffing after Georgie Kelly this year

Huge credit to Bohs,however the tie turns out that is a fantastic result and apart from the last 20 minutes were well worth it….

It was hilarious but I reckon they were fuming about what looked like a clear penalty towards the end. That said, the ref was equally as poor when it came to some clear Bohs free kicks.

Congrats to Bohs and a good win for the league too. Next week's starting eleven shouldn't play any part against Waterford imo, they can't afford to tire as early as they did tonight and it will probably be quite hot in Greece

Watching Ward dancing around challenges and buying a free on the edge of their box in the 94th minute was pretty special. What a contrast to hanging on with backs to the wall.

The PAOK Facebook page is a good read post match. Obviously something gets a little lost in translation, but essentially, grievances summed up nicely by 'beaten by a village'.

Pity he didn't do something more useful like have a shot.
3 or 4 nil for PAOK next week. Maybe 5 if they're arsed.

When PAOK got it back to 2-1 I was feeling shades of Dundalk Vs Zenit in Tallaght, but Bohs held out impressively. I think PAOK only had 1 serious chance toward the end and Talbot saved it.
Fantastic Bohs! and what a cup run by LOI teams so far. group stages for at least one of your 3 teams will be well deserved.
