Very quiet atmosphere here in Windsor Park, reminds me of Thomand. Its hard to believe that Linfield are only starting pre-season training. Cork are reasonably comfortable and their fitness should tell in the second half. Maguire is not getting a sniff yet.
Breidablik 2-1 down at home as well. Not good so far for the Icelanders. Nutsy working his magic in Europe again.
Half time could be 2-0 ROPS had a half chance after some awful defending just before the half. Rovers had a free kick that was wide and that's the only thing close to a chance. Shaw not getting near the ball, Miele had a few neat touches early but not in the game at all for last 20mins. Shocked at how poor Rovers are to be honest.
Connahs Quay Nomads within five minutes of an excellent draw at home v Stabaek, managed by Billy McKinlay.
You had to jinx it! KR equaliseQuote:

Aberdeen take 67 minutes to score at home to Fola Esch of Luxembourg - who equalise immediately.
Hearts go 1-0 down at home to Infonet Tallinn, though they're 2-1 up now.
Still, the SPL is rubbish.
But but Celtic are one of the big clubs in Europe and have the Irish connection....Quote:

Cork fans chanting. Good crowd up there.
Similar, aye. Only really gets noisy against the likes of the Glens.Quote:

Caulfield going for it. O'Sullivan up top with Maguire. Linfield are dead on their feet. Cork have a great opportunity to kill the tie.
Aberdeen have a goal ruled out with five minutes to go - Luxembourg are actually getting quite close to us in the coefficient. Curious given our excellent record against them (never lost a tie; UCD the only side to lose an individual match, and even that was with ten men)
Already some ground to make up to keep this year's 41st spot - we're 43rd now. We've only been worse than that once ever, in 1998. (Granted, lots of new countries since then)
Rovers 2-0 down.
All over there you'd imagine.
Rovers 2 down.
