Well done Supersaints.
Another missed opportunity by our so called national broadcaster. Shame on them as ever. If only Bobby Ryan took that last chance. I could hardly hear it over the screaming but took it to be Bobby Ryan
Someone get those guys tickets and an internet connection for the away leg.
any chance that they might have this commentary on their website later, i missed it, it sounds great
Well done, Pats. Doubt if an Irish player has ever scored in three successive European games before.
fantastic result by pats well done
even to Derry no disgrace in going down 1 nil out there yer still in it.
just back from training, couldn't beleive my eyes when i checked teletext and too many pages here to find out what happened.
Great night for ye LOI supporters, real real pity about Derry not getting what would have been a more than deserving draw, they played very well didnt give away possession easily, if you compare the performance to bohemians away against salzburg their is no comparison, derry hold the ball up well, good one touch football and most importantly they dont just blast the ball to the sole man up front they hold it up wait for a player in support and lay it off. The simple stuff, the stuff that has to be done away from home in order to acheive the best possible result, its just a pity they didnt get it tonight. BUt if sofia play like this and derry play like they did at home with the crowd behind them I can see them winning. Unfortunately i can see them scoring too, but at least a win would be good. A score draw or a win for derry is my prediction if everything goes like it did tonight.
Fair play to Pats super result tonight. Derry are still well in with a chance for next week too so a good night for the irish sides. Good luck for next week.
Can't wait til next week at the Brandywell. It would be absolutely amazing if Pats and Derry progress. CSKA are obviously a strong team but I think Derry showed enough tonight that if they get at them properly at the Brandywell we can possibly cause an upset.
GREAT RESULT TONITE PATS you have done LOI football proud, just a pity we couldnt hold out for a draw tonight in Sofia. Just hope this time next week we are all celebrating 2 LOI teams in the 1st round proper and 1 step away from the group stages, that would be an amazing achievemnt
football.....bloody hell :D
brilliant result, they had all the ball but no chances, soon as fitzer went off we were a different team, we had an edge in Fabio and they **** themselves.
granted they did have a lot of the ball and getting a result next week is a huge ask, but jesus we defended like our lives depended on it.
Cheer for the comments on the commentary paul and joe do all the home games and the Jim and Pat from Dundalk are our heroes :D There should be 2 recordings as the 3g thing died.
I never imagined Pats even drawing this game, absolutely amazing result, one of stand out wins from a LOI side in history.
Fantastic result for St Pats. It would be one of the best results in europe for a LOI club if Pats can see their lead through the 2nd leg next week in Russia.
great result st pats
Just saw the goal on the tv now, cracking finish from fabio! Wel done pats.
Yep excellent result tonight for Pats...............................I still hope o'brien gets lost in Russia somewhere :)
Not too bad of a result for Derry either 1-0 defeat in Bulgaria, tie very much in the balance
Astounding 2nd half by Pats
For all the ball the Russians had, we had 3/4 good chances
I think Derry have a better chance of going through than us but I'll enjoy this result for a while
Unbeaten at home in Europe this millenium :D
Great result from Pats. People say the summer football gives the Irish teams an advantage but the Russians couldn't use that excuse.
Absolutly amazing night, Im still in shock i thought we would get hammered, Fabio is fast becoming a Pats legend,
Good result for Derry aswell, fill out the Brandywell next week get a great atmosphere going and i really think they can go threw, This time next week could be an amazing night for LOI fans
Football Dynamo?
Speaking honestly, I don't think we'll go through. We can defend against them alright, but our attack this season has so bad. That's what might let us down.
Here is the goal and two links to the CSKA fans. If you look at the first one they seem to be making some kind of protest to Uefa?

i just dislike the guy, he made no effort at dundalk in any match.
Well done Pat's, fantastic result! Shame about the Derry game though, hopefully they can turn it around in the Brandywell!
Stephen Kenny post-match interview http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot...sh/8177226.stm
Fantastic result for Pats given the number of injured first team players, guarantees Kenna`s job? A clear endorsement of the European Competition benefits of a summer season
From what I saw of the Derry game, it was a very professional performance from the Candystripes ,fair play. Hopefully a packed hostile Brandywell, an aggressive playing performance and the right ref will get you the two goal cushion needed to get through.
Definitely. Given how awful Pat's were against Valletta, and how awful they were for the first half hour of this match - when Krylya passed through their midfield at absolute will - it's quite incredible that Pat's got anything out of this match. Krylya were very poor up front, but you got the feeling that once they ticked, it'd end up 4 or 5. Even then, I lost count of how many last-ditch blocks Pat's put in.
But Pat's seemed to gain confidence around the half hour when it was still 0-0, and amazingly had the four best chances of the game in the second half, even though Krylya were still dominating play. O'Brien and Guy (I think?) both missed one-on-ones. Excellent goal from Fabio too; I thought it hit the side netting (couldn't see from the new stand, and he couldn't possibly have scored from the angle he was at) until everyone went nuts.
If Krylya have Koller back for the second leg, I can still see a 4-0 score, but you never know now. Superb result; well done Pat's.
(And a decent enough result for Derry too, BTW. Though we'll have to teach you how to keep clean sheets in Bulgaria. :) )
Check out this 'match report' from rte.ie for the Derry game..............if I ever saw a match report written on the basis of just seeing a scoreline this is it.
Derry City's Europa League hopes hang in the balance after the Candystripes fell to a 1-0 defeat against CSKA Sofia in the Bulgarian capital.
Kostadin Stoyanov scored the only goal of the game in the 75th minute to round off a long spell of pressure by the home side that gives them a crucial advantage heading into next week's return leg.
But Stephen Kenny's men will be confident of turning the tie back in their favour at the Brandywell after a brave defensive performance prevented CSKA from doubling their advantage.
And the result was all the more welcome given Derry's poor recent run of form which had seen the club manage to win only one of their last six matches - against Skonto Riga in the previous round.
great result for pats. looks like guy had a great chance to make it 2-0. totally outpaced the defence. great finish from o'brien. they still have to score 2 to win and if pats could nick an away goal they could see them off.
might be the end of the road for derry but you never know.
A stunning and outstanding result for Pats! Magnificent! It would still be a major shock if they progressed, but at least they have a good chance.
How much money have Dundalk given Pats indirectly through Fabio's goals??? :eek:
