Full-time in Denmark. Derry lose 6-1. Very poor.
Rovers score !!
1-0 Rovers!
1-0 to Rovers. Gary Shaw with the important away goal.
Could be an important goal
Gary shaw ! Hitting a decent run of form
Anyone got stream for rovers??
Crusaders are 3-0 up. WTF?!
Edit - and Connah's Quay have beaten HJK 1-0 at home
I was already dreading sitting in tallaght after not getting a goal in the first leg . The away goal is huge

Looks like Rovers dominating stats based on UEFA.com. Could be more than 1 up maybe.
They won the league unbeaten that year as well. They haven't been near that level since. They've lost three times in the first nine games this season for example.Quote:

As far as I know, up to six of Liepāja's non-EU citizen first-team players were unable to acquire visas in time due to the short space of time between the draw and game, fixture scheduling having taken up a day or two and then the British embassy in Riga having been closed for two days due to Jāņi celebrations. Jāņi is an annual Latvian festival to celebrate the summer solstice. So, the Liepāja team are considerably weakened this evening as a result.Quote:

That's Progres, who Rovers beat 3-0 at home two years ago. And Trakai, who had never played in Europe until two years ago.
Go on the SPL!
Now they do have Celtic but as everyone knows, they're actually Irish so don't count.Quote:

Into the last ten minutes now. RTÉ updates are saying Rovers "have good shape and [are] coping well at the moment" whilst "looking to hit Stjarnan on the counter attack".
Poor Derry. It was a tough opponent to get in Q1. Can we draw any comparison between similar opponents Cork and Dundalk have come up against and how they have gotten on?
Well Genk for City and take your pick for Dundalk.Quote:

Full time in Iceland. Rovers win 1-0. Terrific result.
Great win for rovers. 2 out of 3 away wins for LOI #GREATESTLEAGUEINTHEWORLD
3 teams unseeded, all 3 away from home, one against one of the top rank teams in the draw. To come away with 2 wins is excellent.
Well that went better than expected. Watching a periscope of the last few minutes we looked completely in control. Need to take that into next Thursday and finish the job now. Biggest result of Bradley's short career so far.
Great win for Shams. Expected Cork to win and Derry to lose alright.
Anyone been chatting to geysir?
I heard he is ready to burst.Quote:

Watched the full Cork game. Was surprised they didn't kick on more in the 2nd half, Levadia were v weak at the back. Cork played some lovely football.
We were poor enough but great result. I'd expect an improved performance for us next week
It takes teams a while to adjust from domestic games to the European football. The result is all that matters.Quote:

Both teams have a great chance of going through.
Speaks volumes that a poor performance from City away in Europe, still yields a 2 nil win. I fancy them to score 2 or 3 in the cross next week.Quote:

Two great results, Cork almost certainly into round 2 though, and definitely advantage Rovers but a fair bit of work to do in theirs.
Tough night for Derry, but that was probably expected.
Well said, it took Dundalk 3 games in Europe last year before they really flourished in Europe. They were only OK in the 1st two games against FH, and struggled verv badly in the 1st leg in Borisov. In truth, BATE should have won the 1st leg about 3 nil but Dundalk got a bit of luck. Dundalk seemed to learn an awful lot from those 1st 3 games because from then on they never looked overawed and performed very well in all their other games.Quote:

At least Rovers are Ireland's biggest team in Iceland as they're the only Irish team to win a game here in decades.
Sorry, phones gone mad. That should have said we beat Valur there 2-0
