In a two legged tie, the onus is on the home team to set the tempo and their style of play on the game. The away team seeks to stop the home team doing so.Quote:

And I'm looking forward to you seeing them too. Nobody who's seen Pats in the last 10 games or could claim that Pats are a kick & rush team. IN fact Bradley ahs been getting almost unanimous praise for his passing from midfieldQuote:

Pay attention Dodge - the Pats style has progressed to 'Kick & Run' - it's a very sophisticated advanceQuote:

After seeing it again from a better angle on TV3, it was never a penalty. Also, did someone not say here that IBV were heading for a 1200 sellout? They had a couple, they didn't even have half that

A thng to note about those 2 Rogers saves is that they were in the space of 30 seconds of each other
2 world class saves too !! The chip looked in all the way.Quote:

Went to see Fulham play yesterday, like a training session but Duff was very good on his first game back. Good crowd there too, and the Faroes had a few hotties. (typical Nordics blondes - what a disappointment when the Crusaders freckly support arrives in town!)

Dunno what to say about that penalty. What a mess.Quote:

Had to watch it 5 times to be sure, (at first I thought Rogers had got the ball clean)Quote:

Definite penalty! two excellent saves from Rogers though, I'll be hoping the Saints get it right next week!
I hope the Saints bounce back from last week and get the result they need to get through to the next round.
There's an article in the Indo about Mahon fearing Irish clubs are slipping behind European rivals, believing that the reversion to part-time football at most Airtricity League clubs has seen a drop-off in standards and as a result he reckons expectations need to be lowered.
Usual gruff from Mahon. Does he know its a world wide recession? LOI teams shud be beating teams from Iceland. Remember Pats were 4th seeds in this round!Quote:

LOI isn't that far ahead of Icelandic league. I think the last time clubs met from these countries a good Shels side was beaten 3-0 home & away
I'm still expecting us to beat them on Thursday though (as is Mahon)
Cork beat Valur from Iceland 2-1 on aggregate in the Intertoto Cup (2007). Cork won the first leg in Iceland 2-0.
Shels also beat KR in the champions league en route to the depor tie. It was on away goals though.
