We weren't favourites when the odds came out. We're strong favourites now. It's down to our fans putting money down rather than a true reflection I'd say.Quote:

Will not be down to fans putting money down decent liquidity in asia. Plenty of other people fancy Cork and with decent amounts of money too.Quote:

I doubt any LOI club has the fanbase to influence the odds of a European fixture to any noticeable extent tbh.Quote:

Then consider that lots of other gamblers who aren't LOI fans - including overseas - will take an interest in European fixtures given their profile.
I wouldn't have thought that there would have been much money going on the game. Probably an incorrect assumption. I know our lads have been punting on us, but yeah, I'd assume small money.Quote:

Cork doing fine so far and definitely have the beating of them.
Only a matter of time before Cork score, surely. They're exerting good pressure now and looking dominant. Levadia's keeper looks very dodgy with Cork challenging him a few times with shots and corners. No real threat from Levadia so far.
Levadia down to ten men and Cork have a free-kick in a great position here.
Away goal for Cork from the free-kick just before half-time. Great stuff.
Cork are battering them.
Dream start really. A goal and a red card in the first half. Just need to kick on and hopefully end the tie here
The default mentality of a City fan is "How do we **** it up from here!?"
Maguire the best player on the park by a country mile.
Cillian Sheridan misses a penalty for Jagellonia

Dream scenario so far with them being a man down. Would love to see us kick on and get another 1 or 2 if we can

Go on the Langers :)

Ballymena United back in European action for only the second time since 1989...and they're 1-0 down in Norway after 34 seconds.
Jesus can Cork hold out?
Coleraine 1-0 down after 8 minsQuote:

Screamer
Great goal to put Cork 2-0 ahead.
Beattie with it.
No goals from play for Maguire in 8 European games now - slight concern? Just wonder if he's more likely to be the next Roy O'Donovan than Kevin Doyle.
(Watch as I reverse jinx it of course...)
Think he was pretty woeful in the 2nd halfQuote:

Very pleased with that result. Didn't kick on in the second as I hoped but to get a second goal and not concede was great. . Beautiful finish from beattie that was. Over to you now rovers and derry best of luck
Cork not as dominant in the second half despite having an extra man, but a great result away from home nevertheless. A nervy moment or two with Levadia hitting the cross-bar before Cork's second, but Cork were the better side overall and deserved the win. It's Levadia's first defeat since October. The second goal was important in killing off Levadia's budding hopes of snatching an equaliser and Cork should be more than able to see the tie through in Turners Cross.

Meanwhile, Cork's likely opponents in the next round if they make it through, AEK Larnaca, are 1-0 at home to Lincoln Red Imps with half an hour gone in that game.

Fair play to the Langers :D
Second goal makes all the difference. Game over. Great start to the night.
Don't think Levadia could have given Cork much more space for that goal. Really poor from them
Good result for Cork. Very diligent in their European performance again from what I saw of the first half.
There's an air of expectancy and purpose when Cork and Dundalk are in Europe now. Any wins from the rest are bonuses for the coefficient.

Midtjylland looking slick and dangerous already.
