Predictions for tonight:

Dundalk 2-0
Derry 1-0
Pats - very hard one to call, I think both teams will score again, its really 50/50 who goes through in my view.

Hard to argue with these. Realistic predictions.

2-1 Pats and Penos ? Wouldn�t surprise me. Would rather not, but if we won a shootout I wouldn�t complain.

St. Pat main stand seats 1,800 people and behind the goal, at the Inchicore end, the uncovered west stand seats approximately 1,000. Capacity 2,800.
Derry City new Main Stand has a capacity of 955 seats while the East Stand opposite has around 2,700 seats. Capacity 3,700.
Oriel Park Main Stand holds about 1,000 while approximately 2,000 seats are on the open terrace steps between the home turnstiles and the Town End and at the other end between the away turnstiles and the Carrickmacross End. Capacity 3,000.

Not far off on Oriel Park, I think its 3,100 seats (2k covered).

For tonight the disabled / wheelchair supporters and helpers will be moved to behind the town goal, they usually erect a section where home fans stand infront of the main stand, must be another uefa thing.

Probably fair enough. If we got out act together, we could score a few. HB are not a good side, and we played for the draw last week.
We went to the B36 T�rshavn - Paide (Estonia) match last week over there. It's been years since I've seen as poor a game of football. Harps-Cobh last weekend was a higher quality, by way of example.
Faroese football, maybe K� aside, is very poor.

The figures are all approximate as you know.
Of course safety measure can dictate the amount of seats really available.
The Gardai & Stewards can create space where they feel it is necessary for obvious safety control reasons and this will reduce the capacity.

So, you could say crowd seating limits of,

St.Pats 2,500
Derry 3,500
Dundalk 3,000

Hopefully all the clubs get 'sold-out' attendances tonight and all three go through to the next round!

Lists of players was a comparison of debuts/integration of young players into Senior LOI teams which I think is becoming an issue for Rovers, list not all necessarily academies also young players without senior football experience who would have returned from UK

Not having a B team hurts us but it does feel like more should have come through at times. We have a few players who do clearly need replacing. Nugent is one we've used a bit and who looks ready but he didn't come all the way through the academy.

Absolutely 100% the Kevin's linkup is huge of Bohs' output but I think I even underestimated how well Bohs have done fearlessly blooding young players into the first team with a decent hit rate into these lads turning professional with Bohs/UK/elsewhere

Hard not to argue with that alright. If Dundalk and Derry don't win, they'll be really shocking results. But I think they'll be ok.

Interesting looking at the Dudelange lineup against Pat's tonight, and they have only two players who started their last league game in May. Jon Daly was giving out about the lack of scouting options, but very hard to scout that.

But that's the LoI's big advantage - Dudelange's players barely know each other at this stage. Which makes last week's performance all the more worrying. Lot of work for Pat's tonight, but I think they're up to it. Which isn't too say they will do it of course

Dundalk 1-0 up already

That should be the end of that

Glentoran miss a penalty and remain 2-2 against Gzira of Malta; winners to play Pats/Dudelange

KA Akureryi 3-0 up on Connah's Quay and on course to play Dundalk next. That'll be interesting after Rovers' Icelandic experience

Sounds like Pat's got gifted a freak goal but are very much second best; would that be fair?

You'd have hoped the equaliser was them getting back into the tie, but possibly not

That goal, btw, was scored by Joe.

Which seems appropriate for a literal pub team. Sounds like he's someone's mate who was asked along cos they were short.

Definitely for the first 30 minutes we were 2nd best. We've come into a bit more since then and Carty really should have scored but hit it straight at the keeper. OG is a complete freak, I'm not sure how their keeper managed that.

Dudelange equalise quickly though. Pat's do seem very shaky for whatever reason
