Pat’s ain’t home and hosed yet but I get your point.Quote:

Yeah, it was in Budapest. They wouldn't be in extra time if they'd had a home leg in Israel I think. (And they shouldn't be in the competition to begin with of course, but that's a different matter)
You could argue a 6-5 means both sides know where the net is, which could be trouble for dodgy LoI defences in Europe :p Though broadly speaking I do agree neither side looks terrifying. Weaker than Zurich and Copenhagen I'd say.
6-6 now actually - penalties looming it seems. Though still 7 minutes to go.
I've been saying Pat's would win this tie for weeks, I can't back down now :DQuote:

Just the 11-0 over the two legs...
Sabah miss first in the shoot-out in Azerbaijan. 2-1 Maccabi after two kicks each.
Edit - Maccabi miss back; 2-2 after three kicks each now
Sabah through 3-2 on penalties. Maccabi missed their last three kicks, with Pierrot - who scored twice in the game - missing the last one.
Not sure which side would have been better tbh. I think Sabah are weaker but the trip to Azerbaijan is awkward whereas playing Maccabi in a neutral venue would have been a help.
Still, it is what it is. Pat's not through yet of course.
Hard luck on maccabi considering they couldn't l
Play there home leg at home
I was a bit worried Sabah were unexpectedly very good given the first leg, so a bit of a relief that they can get hammered at home, still wouldn't make Pat's favourites but if they get there they have a chance, as 3rd round draws go it's decent, like Derry getting Tobol last year I suppose.
2-1 Vaduz, I appreciate their stadium announcer giving it socks and encouraging the crowd to boo Pat's :D
Goal for Vaduz and it sets up a very nervy last 15. Wtf were Pats at there? They were in no trouble at all for ages then just allow a lad to stroll across the box and roll one in. Did it get a deflection or did Anang just fall in the wrong direction? I probably cursed him with my earlier praise…
Fairly sure I heard him saying “St Pats, danke”.Quote:

Vaduz are very annoyed now. You can just tell they really think they’re better than LOI standard.
Would absolutely love it if pats got a 3rd to nick the win.
Might be, he's definitely said St. Pats and gotten a wee boo after both Vaduz goals, I assume it's just their traditionQuote:

Magpies lost 5-1 in the end; 8-1 on aggregate. A respectable enough showing I guess
How's the ol' Shels doing ?
Well done Pat’s
For sure. Another round to look forward to.Quote:

Any stream for the Shels game?
Congrats to Pats. Looked a bit wobbly at times but some good attacking forays also. Palmer and Leavy stood out for me.
Wisla are a 2nd division side after they got relegated a few seasons ago, so it's not that much of a surprise that a fairly strong Rapid side are cruising.Quote:

Cheers - I missed that. Qualified as Cup winners it seems. First European campaign in almost 15 years.Quote:

It’s a decent draw at this stage of the qualifying competition. Some much bigger fish that have been avoided.Quote:

Seems a very quiet game in Tolka?
Zurich's twitter had nothing for the first half. Shels noted two or three changes. Livescore says one shot on target all game, for Zurich
Meanwhile Zira - who finished level on points with Sabah in Azerbaijan last year - are 6-1 up on Dunajska Streda of Slovakia. So for all that Sabah mightn't have impressed today, the league is dangerous still, and Pat's aren't Maccabi
Shels seem to be holding their own but Zurich are in 2nd gear also.
A draw wouldn't be too bad here and add 0.125 to the coefficient. Keep it tight Duffer.
Zurich player just pushed over a Shels coach on the sideline trying to claim a throw in (it was clearly a Shels throw in). A bit of a scrum on the sidelines ensued and the player got booked. Stupid on his part. Edit: hooked off by the boss moments later
Pretty ****ty behavior and totally unnecessary.Quote:
