Hm. If Crues could keep Rosenborg to six last season, maybe Sligo have a chance this year. :D
(Great win though; Ekranes are handy enough, and home and away victories is impressive)
2544 at Dundalk. 2139 at Sligo. Healthy crowds too. 430 in Wales I think it was.
3 teams winning but 2 were seeded is that correct?what do they need to do in the next round to enter or be seeded in the next round next year?
Dundalk letting the side down:p
Full time in Sligo. Ends 4-0.
Dundalk concede to Jeunesse Esch. They're a disgrace to Irish football.Quote:

To be seeded in that round this year, you needed a club coefficient of 5.225 at least. That's shakhtar, who Derry are playing. Sligo's coefficient is 3.775 this year before Banga. So it's not unthinkable. A slight problem is that the cup winners would get the first bye, and they're obviously that bit more likely to be weaker
Also, you don't get prize money/participation fee for any round you skip, so bit of a poisoned chalice all around.
So many new records tonight, I'll have to post them later, just too much to analyse at the moment!
Just a couple here:
400th goal in Europe scored by Sligo Rovers' Danny North.
5-0 is the Highest win in Europe by an LOI club.
9-0 is the Highest aggregate win in Europe by an LOI club.
so who does everyone meet in the next round, and when are the matches been played?
That include both home and away ties? Nice.Quote:

Edit - the last time Split were in Ireland:

Rosenborg have Gamboa, who played in the WC with Costa Rica, Diskerud, Bille Nielsen, Dorsin, Gamst Pedersen and Reginiussen. A lot of talented players with International experience - young and old. It's going to be a big ask for Sligo Rovers.
Be good for them to see talent like that at the Showgrounds though. They don't come around often; though Verratti, Immobile and James McCarthy have all graced their turf in recent memory.
List of some stats after Thursday's games:
1) 400th goal in Europe scored by Sligo Rovers' Danny North.
2) First time 3 LOI clubs have progressed on the same night.
3) 5-0 is the Highest win in Europe by an LOI club. 5-1 & 4-0 remains the Highest win at HOME.
4) Derry are the first ever LOI club to score 5 goals twice, which were both AWAY games. Bohemians are the only other club to score 5. Clubs from Scotland & Wales were both their victims.
5) 9-0 is the Highest aggregate win in Europe by an LOI club.
6) New record of 5 Clean Sheets in a row. Even 4 was a record before Sligo's result.
7) New record of 12 goals in a day.
8) With 18 goals so far, that is the 3rd highest total achieved in a season which equals the total for 2004 which was after 18 games. 26 goals from 2008 is the current record.
9) With a total 6 matches unbeaten, that equals the record from 2004 (3 Wins, 3 Draws).
10) Another record that was equalled is 4 Wins in a row, which last happened in 2005.
11) This was only Sligo Rovers' 2nd win in European competition in 22 matches. Unsurprisingly, the first time they have scored 4 goals in a match.
12) The last time Dundalk faced Croation oppostion they lost 9-0 aggregate to Varteks in 2002.
13) Hajduk Split have played LOI clubs twice before, losing on both occasions when playing in Ireland, but won their Home matches.
14) Clubs from Belarus have visited Ireland twice before without a win, a draw and a loss.
15) In Rosenborg's previous matches v LOI, they have scored in all 4 matches, recording 3 Wins and 1 Draw.
