1-0 Celtic after 15 minutes.
So Murrayfield it (almost certainly) is. For one or other team tomorrow.
3-0 Celtic now; 4-0 on aggregate. So that's over.
Climville 0-0 in Hungary after drawing 0-0 at home. TNS 1-0 down to Slovan Bratislava after only losing 1-0 in Slovakia.
McGovern's been sent off for Cliftonville. He was the last man and slightly pulled the arm of the attacker who was the other side of him and through on goal. They'll be under a lot of pressure now...
Sure enough, Debrecen score from the resulting free-kick just as I type.
It's been a fairly shoddy performance from Cliftonville, somewhat hidden by an even shoddier performance from these Hungarians.
I thought Cliftonville were doing well up until the sending off, no chance after that.
All 11 seeded teams went through today.
Generally you get one or two upsets per round. None tonight so I'm hoping it's Pat's tomorrow.Quote:

Still a few tickets left for our game, if anyone wants to reserve one and collect it at the gate when they arrive they can here.
i think thats part of our problem in this league, even if Pat's were 10-0 up from the 1st leg we would be afraid i'll bet you we will lose 11-0. let's hope for the best tho....Quote:

Basically, stream won't be an issue
I imagine there'll be plenty of links to streams up on one of Wiziwig, LSHunter.net or FootballStreaming.info.
Hopefully, St. Pat's can do the business tonight and it won't be another typical "hard luck" story. Hard to know what game-plan Buckley should go with, but let's hope he has some magic up his sleeve. Sitting back and trying to soak up the pressure from the outset could be dangerous. The further back St. Pat's were pushed in the away leg, the more inevitable it looked like Legia would score and, sure enough, eventually something gave. Best of luck anyway to Pat's!
We haven't got the players to defend for 90 minutes. Everyone knows that (no one better than Buckley).
Look forward to seeing tonight's game, hopefully Pat's have a cut off them.
Out of interest, roughly how much of Legia's crowd will be Polish people based in Ireland and how many are travelling over?
250 bought tickets in Warsaw. There'll be more Polish there supporting Pats than Legia apparently. They're not well liked by the rest of the country
Yous couldn't defend for 45 minutes last week. It would have been brave but I think Pats would have been better off continuing the game plan they started with instead of running it into the corners with five minutes plus added time to go.Quote:

While we all love the excitement of weeks like this I think it'd be in the longer run better interests of leagues like ours to have a realistic chance of continuous European exposure even if it is against the lesser lights of the continent. The current Europa League structure is too big, cumbersome and long. I'm not convinced the current structure is commercially optimal for UEFA either, but the key to a more widely spread competition would be for revenues to be distributed down the waterfall.
I'd envisage up to 8 regions and 3-4 divisions. Each regional winner or finalist would then go into a pan-European knock out round to determine the winner of Europa League Division X.
There'd be a system of promotion and relegation based on a league's representatives' performance. So, if a team won (did well) in its division, it's league's representative the next season could move up a division at the expense of a team from a league that was last, or did badly.
I haven't thought it out fully but the principle is clear and probably workable. A system of coefficients could be maintained, for example, or simple first X places go up, last X places go down.
The benefits?
A more realistic chance of continuous European football
Games to be against teams from closer to home - so cheaper and arguably more appealing to the public
Games to be much less of a mismatch
A possible additional revenue stream for smaller leagues' clubs
The negatives?
The opportunity cost of a rare but big pay day
Possible cartelisatipn of domestic leagues, I.e., regular Europa League participation = more money = likely dominance of domestic league
That's a good theory alright but fatigue clearly played a part. It was over 30 degrees at kick off last week and the lads were working their balls off all game. I'm sure the gameplan was to play for 95 minutes but I can understand players being tiredQuote:

Game sold out
Any links for this?
Should be a working stream here closer to kick-off: http://coolsport.se/stream10-mlb-live-streaming.html or http://cricfree.sx/live/watch/st_pat...a_warsaw/47415Quote:

Derek Foran starting instead of Oman. Sounds like Oman was injured in the warm-up.
Derek Foran comes in for Ken Oman...blessing in disguise if you ask me.
Very positive start by Pat's.
I like the electronic advertising boards- they're not usually in Tallaght right?!
getting pushed off the ball
started well but again two instances being weaklings getting thrown off the ball.
Any site to stream on an IPad?
