Whoops, I don't know how I got that so arseways.

I heard them saying on commentary that Larne won on pens in Kosovo and someone got my fixtures all mixed up.

We played just awful. This season has showed how vital the conference league is for LOI team to progress. The only good part of that game was the one litre beers.

Maybe the fact Shams would have been playing Northern opposition (Cliftonville) in the previous round had they got over St. Joseph's.

You would expect Besiktas to have far too much for Pat's (especially in current form as opposed to last year's), however both Shels and Shams have a shot at the Conference League Group stages.
A kind draw will be important in the playoffs round should they both get there.

Everton have just sold their women's team, so their different gender sides play under the same name but have different owners & different stadia in different leagues. The only thing they have in common now is the branding. It's like Tayto both sides of the border here.

Or indeed like Waterford.

What's wrong with the Tayto in Waterford?

Any highlights from Pat's game last night?

I actually thought Qarabag were a better quality side than either of the 2 teams. Maybe not so much of a step up, but a bit more of the same type of opposition, though not as clinical. I’d say it is a 70/30 tie and maybe Shels can make it interesting.

I was talking about the athlone women's game on saturday lol

I’m probably very very wrong, but always thought/presumed/assumed that DLR Waves were UCD-light, basically the UCD women’s team?

There is a UCD Women's team separately. There's some link - I think Waves took over full UCD when they dropped out of the Women's League. And Waves are backed by DLR Council (also a sponsor of UCD) and play in the Bowl. But they're different clubs - I'd say the player base is where you'd see that most clearly

Ah. Thanks for that.
