Magpie missed an open goal. This game could go either way
Absolute sitter that,Derry noticeably tired over the last 15 minutes,the extra man coming in to play…
And Derry go and miss a sitter then…
Stjarnan score, Linfield got the blues again
Derry looking tired and extra time likely to come
Linfield concede so now 3-4 down on agg. Into IT in that one.
Shields now sent off for Linfield.
Disastrous European campaign so far for the Irish league clubs ….
Game gone to ET,a little bit of cheer for those in Richmond Park aswell I’m sure….
Linfield did show a bit in that game this evening, nevertheless Stjarnan gifted them two of their goals. Stjarnan had about 50 from their fans club called Silver Spoon (club is in a wealthy area). They outshouted Linfield's all game.
In fairness Linfield’s fans are all still hoarse after the 12th.Quote:

You can add Breidablik to that list it seems. They were 2 down on Agg at one stage in the 1st half.Good night for your clubs.Quote:

Oh crikey. Just turned on the stream and all. Derry defence asleep to the rebound off the bar. Great initial shot in fairness but have to be alert to second ball.
9 minutes to go to turn this around. Copenhagen hardly daunted either way I'm sure.
Shame on Derry for losing away to this crowd. They’re bloody poor. Even with 10 Derry have been the better side. If they go out they’ve only themselves to blame.
A Derry overhead kick cleared off the line
They're still pushing - but 3 minutes left and Magpies getting chances on the break
Clearance off the line denies Derry. Pushing on ....

Incredibly awful.
1st leg killed them. Played close to 90 minutes with 10 players. Yet they nearly did it.

Icelandic champions should do better than Vikingur in Europe. I know some who are involved with Vikingur, I tell them they are 'Iceland's shame'.:)Quote:

Tough on Derry. But they just didn't do enough, or anywhere near enough.
Terrible result for Derry,to put it into perspective Magpies manager is 34 and his total managerial experience is in the Northern counties league in England and Serie C in Portugal,very very bad….,
Higgins has to be done now. Limping along in the title race or not, they have been utterly sh!te to watch and with the millions O'Doherty has pumped into the club, he can't sit by and watch them underperform repeatedly at the hands of someone who's clearly not cut out for management.
Shocking from them tonight.
Can't turn up for half a European tie against anybody. At least the players emptied the tank tonight, can't fault the effort, but between the hole they dug and that ref just too little too late. Sometimes you win when you shouldn't and sometimes you **** up and lose when you shouldn't, that's the game.
The Higgins stuff will really come down to whether they can dust themselves down and dig deep for the run-in. Past experience would not promote optimism but it's still all to be played for. They have to find the grit from somewhere.

Dundalk, who were mid-table last season, still saw them off comfortably enough in the Conference League.
poor 2nd half performance over there and oreilly was one of many in a derry shirt diving all over the shop so cost his team ultimately
But Derry are still in the cup and have a decent chance of winning the league. Cant see higgins being in bother.
This forum has more spanners than a formula 1 pit-stop crew
What do not get?? Breidablik are a very good team at this level and outplayed Rovers in both games, playing technically good and confident football .Quote:

As it stands now Breidablik would comfortably beat Rovers over a tie.
Derry losing to Magpies is a different story altogether.
