Let’s be honest, who’s surprised that FH scored there? It’s the most LOI goal to concede in Europe, sums up the fixtures against Icelandic opposition the last week, the Icelandic scoring against the run of play on all 3 occasions.

What a disaster for Sligo.
How are these guys 2-0 up, I’ve never seen a score line a flatter a team more in a long time, they’ve barely even got close to the Sligo rovers goal and have 2 goals.
As bad a performance as I've seen in a long while.
The Stadium announcer is all over the shop lol
And Sligo give away a penalty and the ties over,familiar LOI story against teams that are nothing special.......
You know if the two teams were reversed on their chances Sligo would be 2/3-0 down at half time, typical LOI performance, never take our chances but concede the cheapest goals ever at the other end.
The difference is it's been bread and butter defending for FH. I've said it before but it's a detriment to the league when it's team who come in and out of Europe every few years.Quote:

You just knew with all the chances Sligo were missing that FH would make them pay.Quote:

It's an FH side who are one place above the relegation zone this year, having picked up two points in their last seven league games, against a Sligo side who are joint top here. And FH have won home and away.Quote:

It’s hard to be confident until boh's score, based on the 3 games previous with Icelandic opposition they are incredibly poxy.
It’s different when it’s a bunch of kids v a side like FH who are very experienced in Europe. Sligo were incredibly naive and paid the price in both matches.Quote:

What are the hugely experienced side doing near the relegation zone in Iceland? What are the bunch of kids doing at the top of the LoI?Quote:

Deserved lead for Bohs,Devoy looks a great talent….
That was SO GOOD from Devoy there. Great goal for Bohs.
Very nice. They've been on top the last while
The commentator seems to think Bohs have a 2 goal lead on aggregate, but it finished 1-1 last week. Am I missing something?
I can't be happy for Dawson Devoy his name is too annoying
