1-1 in Portugal now. Important Fingal at least hold that its still a good scoreline. About 10 left
I see Cliftonville just went 1 up. Good year so far for the Northern Clubs.
Fingal 2-1 down now to cap off a depressing night for the league. Portadown 2-1 behind also
ah ****. Fingal 2-1 down now...
2-2 !!
2-2 Fingal
Some end to the match. Hope they can hold on now.
Unbelievable Maritimo 3-2 Fingal aobut 5 minutes into injury time. Disaster
No its not. its a fine result and one which gives them everything to play for in the second leg.Quote:

Go on Martitimo
Still though, I'm sure the players will be disapointed to concede a 3rd goal right at the death. Makes the 2nd leg just that bit trickier..Quote:

I agree the result isn't the worst and they would definitely have taken it before going out there but to concede 3 goals in the last 15 minutes and to concede having got level in the last few minutes is potentially fatal for their chances of progression.
great result away from home for Fingal. Fair play to them.
It's a real shame but at least it ensures they'll approach the game in the right mindset - they have to win.
Shels lost 3-2 away to Split in the first leg...
Hardly a cause for major depression!
that's a good result

Good effort by our lads tonight. Pity about conceding the last minute winner. Ah well. I would have taken that before the match.
Congrats to Rovers for getting back level. Hard luck to Dundalk fans. Hopefully yous still come out in force for the home game and get a positive result on the night.
Why do LOI fans have to be so negative towards other clubs.Quote:

I can't say I'm that surprised by our result tonight but it still hurts as hell to lose 6-0. Was shocked at myself when a Rovers goal put a bit of a smile on my face at the end of the evening!
Everybody scores this year.
Good result from Shamrock Rovers and Sporting Fingal. Dundalk can still get something from their fourth game in Europe this year.
Next fixture: Champions League Draw 12:00 (11:00 am Irish Time)
Europa League 13:30 CET (12:30 Irish Time)
Friday 16th July
I thought fans supported football clubs rather than leagues?Quote:

we've slipped two places to 31st in the uefa cofficient ranking after tonight's matches.
however we only need a draw to move up one again and a win will put us back where we were before tonight.
The day I take joy in a league of Ireland team getting hammered in Europe is the day I give up on following football.
what does 3 defeats do?? (i hope it wont be)Quote:

Leave us with 0.000 points for the night every coefficient points keeps us up high on the coefficient table giving us seeding and starts of off further in the 2 European competitions.Quote:

Why should they be positive about them?Quote:

I just like to see the teams do well - gives you a little bit of pride even when your own team hasn't done so well.
I know one pats fans in Portugal, does that count?Quote:

we should stay in 31st because 32nd place lithuania are a good bit off and are too far behind to catch up in four games.Quote:
