Was that because they were sitting back and content to defend the lead or did Sligo just boss it?Quote:

Better team over there and sligthly the better team in the Showgies. Football is a bitch sometimes.Quote:

Fair play to Pats. A team progressing in Europe, doing well in the league, playing good football with good players and only 1800 in attendance. What do the people of Inchicore want to get them to attend, Barcelona?
Did the lads video the Pats game for goal highlights or did they give it a miss because of UEFA?
Well done Pats. Look forward to Hannover game.
More seats I'd imagine.Quote:

What? They have only 1800 seats? There's surely more than that between the main stand and behind the goals?Quote:

Well done Pat's. They always seem to do the league proud.
They have lost 'Home' matches last year to Karpaty at Tallaght and Steaua at the RDS in 2009. Last defeat in Richmond was in 1999 against the infamous Moldovans.Quote:

Having said that we were certainly the better team. I think if North had scored the penalty or we got any of our chances in the first half we would have gone through as they weren't great. Nothing compared to Poltova last year. Yet again though bad defending and not taking our chances has cost us.Quote:

In summary, the co-efficient haul for the two full -time Rovers squads and the Bohs kids was three miserable draws between them.
I would fancy Pats to pick up at least a draw over two legs against Hannover. Well done Pats.
Hats off to Pat's. Representing themselves, Ireland and our league proud in Europe once more. Very disappointed with Sligo. Two years in-a-row they've been a disappointment. I thought they'd have learned their lessons from last year but I suppose that was under a new manager. Pat's though continue to do well in Europe with a different manager to last season. Their manager I'm sure learned a bit from his European experience with the disappeared S. Fingal.
Pat's not only the only team to get by one round, they've gone and got through another. Well done Pat's, respect!
Pats are a credit to the League. Their recent record n Europe is something to be really proud of.
It's something the fans are very proud of. The funniest part is that the 4 runs have been under 4 different managers and basically 4 different teams.Quote:

I do wish they'd get rid of that f**king bell though. The term 'needs more cowbell' most certainly does not apply here.
Looked like it was great night for the Pats' fans.
After getting turned over twice by a team from a fishing village, Pats are battle hardened enough to appreciate the grind and discipline it takes to eek out a win over 2 legs at this level. A very nice and deserved award for their travails await them in the next round.
If only Bohs had concentrated on the co efficient instead of running off winning Leagues and Cups instead :rolleyes:Quote:

God knows we need every bit of help we can get :o
Any video of Ger O Brien's infamous tackle?
There really should be a series of matches involving the Euro teams played mid-week earlier in the season to allow for this.Quote:

Ok, the euro teams will have 3 games in hand for a few weeks, but it would cut out the last minute scramble to call off games and re-schedule, and euro fixtures would not affect the gate receipts of other clubs.
That was actually a post in relation to the Bosnian equaliser. Though I do admit, I had mixed emotions when you equalised:)

North out for up to six months with an anterior cruciate rupture. This'll put a lot of pressure on Gavin Peers to replace his goals.
