And co-efficient now 1.500. Matches what we lose with minimum 6 games left. Wonder who City would prefer in R3.

I swear I try really hard to ignore nonsensical posts, but fail when faced with the totally absurd.Quote:

The richest Belarusian football club is FC BATE Barysau with a budget of $6 million, in second place – Minsk “Dynama” with half the budget. Next comes Salihorsk “Shakhtsyor” ($2.5 million). These three clubs account for slightly more than half of the total budget of the Belarusian clubs.
Well done Cork, great effort from St Pats
Outstanding result from Cork.
Well in fairness youre right its not i thought minsk budget was about 10 to 12 million a year but its not so no yer right its not a great result. However they are a better pedigree than pats for various reasons most of which probably shouldnt be the case but they are so a loss by only 1 goal over two legs is a good result. It shows these teams can compete and the gap is closing.
Absolutely buzzing after that, fantastic result. Had a couple of dodgy moments at the start where hacken should've taken control. Great shift put in by the lads to get through that. Voice gone
Come on Buducnost Podgorica!
Has to be Podgorica surely? A team from a lower-ranked league who've never done much in Europe and who, if they get through, will arguably have a red card to thank in large part for their win.Quote:

Hearts and Hibs out. Least Hibs went down fighting. Hearts, awful stuff... Really are very few easy games in Europe now amongst the 'lesser' teams.
Would be my preference too if I was a City fan. Only thing is, their confidence would be high after an excellent result coming from 2 down after the 1st leg.Quote:

Actually, thought the red card came a lot earlier for some reason.
I'd still go with Podgorica though.
Looks like the Buducnost v Genk game will go to pennos now
Gone to penalties I think.

Only advantages Podgorica have now are maybe less tired, home crowd and get to drop their worst taker. But maybe their real chance has gone.
Underway now
Podgorica going first, which is usually an advantage
Podgorica first to miss
1-1 after three kicks
4-2 genk result
You were right. They did blow their best chance to win the tieQuote:

There's absolutely no reason that they can't go on and take the scalp of the Belgians next.

Happy with our display tonight they were nothing special but after the season we have had I thought we gave it a good go !
For adult tickets, Dundalk charged €25 into main stand and €20 for all other areas for the FH home match, this was an increase of €5 on each ticket price compared to a league game. They were limited to 3,200 tickets, as that's the seating capacity.Quote:

Its probable that the previous owner Matthews is holding out for a pay out, problem is, his price might go up now, but on the flip side (for him) no one else can buy it. It would be great to see some movement on this, as ground redevelopment would be the best option, but its far from straightforward.
Congratulations to Cork tonight, great achievement and no easy tie that, tough on Pats after the excellent away draw.
Congratulations to Cork. Good achievement to make Q3. It matches my expectation for the next best team from our league. Getting to the playoffs will be deserving of huge respect and more noteworthy but it's a big ask.
It's been a good European campaign so far for the league. We've lost only one team at each EL hurdle. If Cork are out at the next stage, Dundalk at the very least will still be there.
There is no doubt about it - he has been consistent in looking to sell his interest in the lease since negotiations first started back in 2010/2011Quote:

Does that mean Cork have earned about 800k for getting through two rounds? Including the probable knockout money?
Fantastic result anyway, had good craic with my Swedish friend over that result haha
Sure Galway is basically in Europe in 2020.Quote:

Surely a man of your intelligence wasn't sucked in by that joke shop? Just another 'aren't we mighty altogether, now what's the next bandwagon' campaignQuote:

Sorry, you're correct - he got 2 for UCD, and then 1 the following game when he had signed for Sligo.Quote:

Dundalk: €900,000 for reaching Rd 3 Qualifiers in Champions League. If beaten by BATE Borisov, they'll bank €230,000 extra minimum for the Europa League play-off round, giving a total of €1.13m. A win against BATE however, is worth €3m on top of the previous €900k in CL money alone and straight into EL group stage which banks an extra €2.4m. So, one more Champions League win for Dundalk is worth €6.3 million by my count. Two more wins is worth €12.9 million.
I stand to be corrected on any of the above.
