Midtylland 2-0 down against Ferencvaros at half-time.
Just as well Sligo didn't get to play Ferencvaros.
Rovers scored
Burke again
Great defending by Beattie.
Feck. Another LOI team gifting a goal from a nothing ball into the box.
2 things cost LOI teams in Europe. Not being clinical enough when you get a chance. Switching off in defence for a moment or two.
Some bird called Joan scores against Cork... surely that signals that start of a 16 match losing streak?
It's really disappointing to see rubbish defending at set pieces. Two crap goals given away last night and tonight in Cork.
Rovers 2-1 down now
Sleepy defending. Still in this
Fella sent off for Ferencvaros just before half time. Midtylland have gotten two penalties (including one for the red card)
Can't see the manager being too happy!
Bitterly disappointing night all round. Cork really should have done better.
That's a poor result for Cork. Massive ask to go out to Cyprus and beat them out there.
Ah well, would have been good to hold out for the draw, but a Cypriot team are always going to be tough to beat. I really dont think Cork could have done a whole lot more, but they are still in the tie...
Ref was brutal.
Cork are not as good as dundalk in Europe. Not as savvy or street smart. They took these little short passes and never made their man when in ideal situations.
3 teams out of Europe now. Not great.
What's good to see at least now is the speed, athleticism, fitness and physicality is no longer missing and therefore ye dont see 3 or 4 0s anymore.
No idea how we aren't level. 3 decent efforts this half. 1 super save from keeper
Ffs 3 :1
3-1 in Tallaght
Game over for Shamrock Rovers. 3-1 down now.
Rovers 3-1 down now.
Cork's result is more than poor; it's worrying for the league.
A touch of "I wasn't at it but..."-itis about this, but the team walking away with the title - and deservedly so - have struggled to do much against a 10-man Estonian side (albeit that they were unbeaten all season) and then nearly threw the game away at home. And now they've gone down to a Cypriot team in pre-season, albeit again that the Cypriot league is solid enough.
But if that's what the dominant force in the league at the moment can do, it doesn't say much about the rest of the league.
Not a good night for LOI teams at home.
Very frustrating
Can't be conceding three goals at home in Europe.
3-2 now. But still way too much to do you'd think

Rovers not out of this .
Can easily see us getting into this over there. They were good and took their chances we were very wasteful
A few Cork players going forward were rubbish for sure, and yes the tactics worked in the first half but thats pretty much the same as last season against Genk at home. Its a step up in level, and drop your concentration for one moment and your done for, cheesy i know but how many times have we seen it with LOI teams. Id say the Cork guys tonight were more tired than the Larnica guys which would say a lot, eh?
Yes Cork are still in it, and fingers crossed. But I think the LOI teams got tough draws this year
5 to 4 in Prague 😀
Aberdeen held at home. Though in fairness to them, they tend to do ok in Europe in comparison to other teams in that League not named Celtic.
