Brilliant result for UCD! Fair play :-) great stuff!
Great stuff. Do we know who they play next?
Well done UCD ...brilliant result considering the circumstances,now best of luck to Pats and Cork
Thrilled. Well done UCD!
Excellent result to hold on like that with 10 men. Irish clubs never do it the easy way. 2 down, 2 to go!
Slovan Bratislava. Bit tougher I'd imagine!Quote:

Any ideas what that does for the country co-efficient? If all four sides are through after tonight, do we jump up the rankings Wales style?
Fair play to UCD.
Bratislava ? i'm guessing though.Quote:

This better produce some Guardian articles on UCD and ****. Well worth it.
Outstanding stuff! Had a quick google on second tier teams getting through rounds. Can't find much; a Europa League first?
Red Card for that too!!!Quote:

They lost tonight so nothing I assume. Of course they could get points in the next round.Quote:

UCD are the first League of Ireland First Division club to win a game and a tie in Europe. Bray Wanderers (twice) and Dundalk both went out
a quarter of the total for what is so far 2 wins (1 point in total i think) and 2 draws (.5) and what happens later so feck all.Quote:

Does progression into the next round not add to co-efficient at all or is just singular results?
Well done UCD. Brilliant result and effort!!
Giz a lend though would ye?
It's a shame that the magnitude of this result will go over the Irish public's head. For a very young team with no European experience to hold out like that for over an hour away from home is just something else. Everything was pointed towards UCD going out, we all thought at half time they were going to be battered. Well done to them.
great result for ucd hopefully more irish progress later this evening
Fantastic. Been reliant on live texts from Pineapple Stu while sitting at work. Went through the full range of emotions from thinking it was in the bag to being certain we'd go out by half time. That nets the club another €210k on top of the €200k for qualifying. Going by the crowd at the 1st leg the Bowl should sell out for the second leg. Thanks for everyone's well wishes and you're all welcome to attend the 2nd round. ;) Hopefully the other Irish sides can follow ourselves and Rovers though.
Absolutely delighted for ucd, a man down for so long and to hold on is just brilliant to see. Hopefully ourselves and pats get through too, although the closer it's getting to our game the more doubtful of progression I feel but hopefully I'm wrong
I got home thinking all games were on at 8 tonight -(I should really pay attention a bit more!) , so hadnt realized the UCD game was already over.
Great aggregate victory for them , and a nice bit of cash to keep the wolf from the door. bratislava will bring a few fans over,thats for sure!
I'll have to try and make it over to the bowl for the 1st leg, as i only live a 10 min walk from the ground.(im assuming it wont be on same night as the Hoops)
Well done again, to the students.
Anyone got a stream for the St. Pat's game?
Incredible result for UCD.
Well done. You did the country proud.
Come on City & Pats, follow that :encouragement:
Well to lose both legs and go out is 0 points. a draw in Europa league is .25 and a win .5, So for UCD to gain any more points they would have to get a result. UCD have gained .5 for their home win and the league gets .125 or something fairly paltry like that. It rewards individual clubs more rather than a league. So West Ham entering at the same point as UCD etc even though the EPL is a strong league. Celtic were moaning about having to go through 3 rounds in the CL even though they were recently in the last 16. But they are actually complaining about a system that would benefit them as they dont have to heavily rely on the lack or Rangers or other Scottish clubs performing to improve their seeding. It is mainly based on their own results so they can only look to themselves to improve their entry round.Quote:

What a f***ing performance from the boys tonight..Nobody gave us a chance and being down to 10 men we pulled together and did enough to get over the line..Some tired bodies now after that shift..Loved getting bitten aswell by there striker.. Slovakia next week in the 2nd round ⚽💪🏻 Absolute scenes 👌🏻
Hah
Disaster for Pats.
All to do now alright.
Cork not seeing a whole lot of the ball but the KR defence has looked poor on the ball whenever tested.
1-0 Cork!
Great goal by Sully for Cork.
Geeettttt innnnnn!!!!!!!! 1-0 o Sullivan
Poxy enough goal and against the run of play but it was a great run by O'Sullivan.
Great stuff Cork even though against the run of play.Keep her lit Pats still have faith yee can pull it off.
There's been a few 'odd' decisions in this game.
