Pats losing 1 v 0 '83
Pats 1 down with only a few minutes left. 1-1 on agg!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking at the updates IBV seem to be all over them.
Man this is bad, embarrassing day for the LOI:(
It's not embarrassing to be losing to a 1st div Icelandic team :)
Well done to Bohs, super result. Should never have been there in the first place.
Extra time in Iceland, I have a gut feeling Pats will lose this 2-1 on aggregate, reverse score of last year. Even Irish League will have a better co-efficient than us this year if this continues.

Scratch that. Yes!
Pats commentator seems happy
Stephen O'Flynn with the goal.
Hold on now Pats
C'mon Pats !
Jeez that pats fella doing the commentary is funny, "2-2 - so they need to score two?"

Blow it up ref
Good to see O'Flynn scoring against a team other than Shels.
I presume away goals count in extra time? Still 10 minutes to go. Come on Pats
Yeah, away goals count. Even Bohs' goal tonight 'counted' in a sense.
Com'on Pats, must be nearly over now?
two mins of normal time left
Seconds left. St. Pat's miss a clean-through chance there?
PHEW - nice one Pats
All over
Well done Pats
Pat's through. Embarrassing night for Irish football, it has to be said, but at least they salvaged something and made it through.
Pats through. Lets be thanful for small mercies. Hopefully they can get past the Bosnian team in the next round!
Yee haa Thank God. 2 v2 on AGG Pats into the next round.
poor coefficient :(
exact same as last season so far isn't it?
6 more games still to play...Quote:

Disgrace to the league.
I suppose the one good thing is that they wont be representing Ireland in Europe for a while.
Kinda makes you want to sing 'The Fields of Athenry' doesn't it?Quote:

Not bad so far for the 3 Icelandic teams in the EL, 2 out of 3 go through to the next round.

No disrespect to the Icelandic teams, but Irish clubs should be doing much much better than that. Any realistic expectations of progressing as a league have to be built on easily dispossessing of teams such as IBV and Thor.
Thank god Pats went through, we have a lifeline for the country ranking. The Bohs score was an absolute disgrace.
If both went out we could have potentially looked at dropping to 37th place in europe and lose our automatic 2nd round spot for the cup winner....
I think their game against the Bosnians could end up being a little easier than IBV's.
You have to do the ground work first before you can have such expectations. These Icelandic clubs are owned/run by members and financed mainly by local business through sponsrship. Success (in relative terms) on the pitch has taken 7 years of developing coaching strategies with the youth. The foundations are solid, not one club went to the wall when the economy collapsed.Quote:
