stream?I'm assuming rovers game isn't streamed?
Strange sort of strain to pull up like that. Not giving the ball back shows how irritated they are!!
In case you missed it.The red card tackle.Horrendous.

The Gods really have decided to get UCD through, even the ****ing corner flag coming to their aid :D
Second slovan player pulling up with cramp. This is epic :D
It's tricky but I reckon they're best served pushing for the away goal in this second half. It's worth too much for them not to and I suspect it'll be easier to score now than it will at the Bowl against 11.
Strange extratime putting this up during the game

Looking good for ucd a man up at half time. Thought that chip from langtry was heading in awhile ago
Excellent 1st 45! Didnt have to do much crazy chasing and closing so hopefully conserved a bit for the last 20 mins. When UCD put a few good passes together a great move and could be ahead if the chip over the keeper had been on target. Not sure if the keeper got anything on it or whether is was a good penoe shout. Love been able to hear the instructions from the sideline due to no commentary!
Even with the extra man I expect UCD to tire, but even still they were rarely under siege during that first half. A decent chance to score too.
It's still hard to call. The Slovan players are physically stronger than us and a level above us in terms of technique. We are playing fearlessly and will be galvanised by getting through the previous round. I'm hoping Slovan physically wilt as the match goes on.
They have been dropping like flies so far!Quote:

Rumour from Pineapple is that the 2nd leg will be in Richmond Pk. and Slovan want 500 tickets.
Don't remind me, could've been at home to Rosenberg tonightQuote:

Ah here - that's unnessesary now :(Quote:

That tackle is an assault. Player should get a life ban for that. No place for a potential career ending tackle against anyone. Roy Keanes tackle on Alfe-Inge Halland wasn't even that bad.Quote:

Hard to believe they've gotten to the group stage twice in recent years.Quote:

Doing well UCD they are working very hard they have a great chance of a draw here.
Yeah, but they look to have a bit of Cork about them. The game is there for the taking and they are being hesitant.Quote:

Why does the keeper not catch the ball? Punching away all the time.
Goal is coming by the looks of it
That is crap. Sitting back and inviting them on.

Another deflected goal against an Irish club, we need all that good luck that isnt being used next Wednesday!Quote:

The mitigating factor is that the tackle was too high to be a leg-breaker...Quote:

Oh well. We did our best. We played positively where we could. I think we started to fade more than them as time went on. The tie isn't dead but it's difficult to see us winning and keeping a clean sheet in Dublin.
