You might be right, he scored about 4 goals against us in a week, as we played Sligo in our next game.Quote:

Hold on to the ****ing ball
Commentators think Jeff hendrick is playing
Are Dundalk always this poisonously terrible?!
Need a change of jocks myself after that.
Well done Dundalk. Massive result
Well done Dundalk.
Feckin hell..me nerves. That was some game for sheer excitement even if it got sloppy at times.
phew, that was like watching UCD in europe:o
Well done - can't see them going any further based on that though
Hi Geysir!
Phew!!! Dundalk made hard work of that.
Congratulation!
Much more nervous last 15 then it needed to be. They seemed comfortable at 2-1.Quote:

Europa League playoff secured. I always say our champions should get through this round at least once every 3 years. Hopefully Pat's and Cork can get positive results to go through tomorrow night.
My bet is we won't see him.Quote:

Icelandic football is just as poor as LOI football.
Both teams were brutal defensively, particularly Dundalk as showed over 2 games.
Dundalk midfield much more than FH, and can play a bit on the ground.
Sign the black lad.
Bate to go through by +2 goals at least.
Fair play to Dundalk and Kenny always comes across as a true gent so well deserved for him.
Delighted for Dundalk - hope the others can emulate them.
That was a nerve-wracking last 5. Unreal.
GET in the feck DUndalk!
What a result and **** the begrudgers.
Great 2nd half. Robbie Benson was terrific when he came on gave us more freedom to get our foot on the ball.
Made it tough for ourselves over 2 legs but **** it we are through to the next round and I cant remember the last Irish side to get past a round in the CL qualifiers
I hope the mandarins that are the Shamrock Rovers board are watching.
Could be wrong, but that draw puts Ireland up to 41st in the rankings.

Been too long. Averaging 1 in 5 years. Should be at least 1 in 3.Quote:

Qualifiers are essentially cup football with playoffs being finals for teams from leagues like ours. More than two rounds is quite difficult.

So, Tallaght for the BATE game?
Good year for Irish clubs, all four have contributed something to the coefficient which is nice to see, but too many draws (and I know City are as responsible for this as anyone). We have three teams through a round, and two still in with a shout to get through two rounds, but we have only 2 wins, and 6 draws. Our best recent year was in 2014 when, Sligo, Dundalk and Derry all got through a round each, but managed 7 wins and 2 draws. That gave us 2 points, we're at 1.25 so far, though with a minimum of 6 games to play remaining.
Delighted for Dundalk, well done especially to O'Donnell and Horgan.
Can someone explain for the uneducated like myself: I know they are into final Europa League qualifiers if they lose to BATE. But if they win, does that see them into final qualifying round for Champions League group stages with the parachute of guaranteed Europa League group stages?
i think so, yes
It does, yep.
Need to improve though. But this is how Shels' great run started - 2-2 in Iceland and 1-1 at home.
Much obliged, thanks for clarification
Damn right he is!Quote:

My nerves have only settled after the end of that game. I thought we deserved to go through but some of our defending was terrible. We'll need to improve a huge amount for BATE but we have nothing to lose with the cushion of the Europa League play off. Short turnaround with the first leg on Tuesday but it's a huge opportunity for us.
€1.2m if we lose both the next rounds.Quote:

It'll be Tallaght from here on in as Oriel only meets the standard for 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds.Quote:

Brilliant result for Dundalk. Fully deserved to go through and over the 180 minutes of football they looked to be the best team for about 140 or so of that, so you can't ask for much more.
Typical Irish soccer mentality kicked in though. It always does. Dundalk played them off the park 2nd half, then completely stop what worked well for them and nearly sh*t the bed near the end. :)
I always think the target is 1 point minimum. Below that is a bad year and above that is a good year. 2014 was a bumper score, yet no team got past 2 rounds. This season is an excellent one so far results/progress wise, yet the score is 1.250. Still min 6 games (maybe 8-10+) to go so that total could go up.Quote:

No if they beat bate they are into the group stages via the champiojs route.Quote:
