Buckley's was so close
I think these lads are happy enough to let bohs have the ball and think they can counter them easily enough. But bohs are capable of creating chances, and if they keep tracking the runners like they are now and can keep this going for the full 90, they should be ok. Thats a big if i know. Paok are still playing a very high line, its ripe for opening.
Burt not getting any joy but he's the type that can have an explosive 10 minutes when you think he's having a poor game
He looks the poorest Bohs player at the moment. Giving the ball away an awful lot.Quote:

Feels like PAOK are targeting Burt as a danger man and getting very tight to him. A better through ball and Bohs had two men over but Burt fluffed it. Bohs have a good shape and press, they had PAOK in bother with it just before the water break. The teams still look fairly well matched.
Ah that’s junior football defending from Bohs. A long way back now.
Half asleep for both goals.
Terrible, the usual. Hopefully PAOK become complacent now.Quote:

I think Bohs gave them too much of a fright last week for them to get complacent yet unfortunately
Clutching a bit but yeahQuote:

They're still in it, but if they go 2 down they're screwed I'd say.
2 down in the tie, I mean.Quote:

PAOK right back should have been booked for the cynical foul when he was caught upfield too.
Don't know what Talbot was thinking with a short through that wasn't really on. Should have just held it and let Bohs get set again. Almost cost him. And should really have been a goal.
I was on about tracking the runners for the first 20 they were doing that and since they've conceded and could have conceded 2 more for not tracking off the ball runners properly.
Talbot again rushing a kick and giving it away. In this heat he needs to just hold it when he gets it and allow Bohs a few secs to get their breath and get set again. Why is he rushing?
Could Devoy have had a pen shout if he goes down there? No doubt if it was at the other end the attacker takes the contact and goes down.
Overall a very mixed bag of a half. Bohs midfield is comfortable at this level but the back 4 maybe not so much. Kelly has had a few good touches but some poor ones too. Reminds me of Sammon every time I see him, just a little better in the air. PAOK playing in bursts, I think they might panic if they concede too.
Bohs look tired already
Blessed to be still in the tie but still in with a chance, but have to score the next goal….
The greek commentator's having a great auld time pronouncing Lyons' name. ellllloyyyyyonnnnns.
Rovers take the leed through Gaffney.
The first good cross of the night and then the worst header youve ever seen. That's a big missed chance there from Kelly. Slight exageration I admit, but they're just dying to score a 3rd goal and finish it. As it is, Bohs are still in it of they take one of the few chances they get. Good news from Tirana so far.
Kelly with a free header didn’t connect well at all, great chance. Bohs still making chances, but also looking very frail at the back at times.
The Albanians playing some good stuff , hard to understand how come they didnt try to play last week
Overestimated rovers.
Last 15 for Bohs. Kind of stage of the game where PAOK may start wondering why they're not out of sight, and then get worried about one slip allowing extra time?
Fanciful, bohs bar the first 20 mins have done very little. And for the few runs theyve made, they've taken the wrong option , whereas last week they took the right option - like the last break in midfield.Quote:

The only hope is these lads are tiring again, you can see the midfield dropping off losing their men.
Bohs have had a few breaks in this half. Still a chance there for Bohs you'd think.
That's kind of the point though. A nice mix of frustration and complacency.Quote:

It’s relatively comfortable for PAOK now. If Bohs do nick a goal and send it to extra time they’ll be slaughtered by the fans for not putting the game away you’d imagine. Bohs looking very tired now, a lot about the performance to be proud of, they created a few really good chances, but no doubt they’ll be very disappointed at the manner of the goals conceded.
TNS now 2-1 down in Plzen, but 5-4 up on aggregate.
Squeaky bum time given they conceded two late goals last week.
This whole thing started on 82.30. thats 2.5 mins of messing.
Plzen equalise against TNS in injury time.
The player who scored in the 89th minute last week scores in the 91st minute this week.
Shane Robinson v Dynamo kiev? Open goal....who mentioned wrong options? :D
Open goal for Ward and nowhere close. What a run by Mallon. That’s that you’d have to think.
Jesus Christ what a mi****.
Keith Ward going to have nightmares over that….
