Well done to Pats!
Full-time. Pats are through 3-2 on aggregate. 2-0 on the night. Great win. Congrats.
Nice 1 pats well done,hard luck Bohs.
Pats commentary class craic. Well done Pats.
Certainly, but I'm sure they could have this all sorted weeks before? There's plenty of interest in the games. There were over 3,000 people following just the online stream of the Rovers game against Flora the other week in Tallaght. How many people would be watching whatever they have on RTÉ 2 at the minute? I genuinely have no idea, but I'm sure they could rouse a bit of national interest if they promoted any games they were to broadcast. What are the weekly viewing figures for MNS?Quote:

Shade of other European disappointments for Bohs alright. I can't see them being back in European competition anytime soon but who knows? Fair play to Pat's, they've done well. Be great if themselves and Sligo can get to the play-offs. 3 Irish clubs making it to August is decent.
Ger always hated Bohs :sinister:
Its gone from a potentially awful co efficient year to a decent one, hurray!
we can always rely on pats! I fancy Sligo to win round 3, probably a step too far for pats given all the travel and extra games, 2 teams in the playoff would be a 1st?
Unlucky to bohs as well shame they didn't even get the win in the leg :(
It's a shame none of the broadcasters got behind any of the games. Setanta Ireland in fairness covered Rovers game on Tuesday. Hopefully all 3rd round games will get better coverage.
Great stuff Pats. Hard Luck Bohs.
Come on Sligo now!

well done to pats.. yet again they knock out an eastern european team... hard luck to bohs...
Didn't RTE show some English club in a qualifier a few years ago and a game they covered on a LoI club in Europe had the better viewing figures? Why the need to have a go at RTE though, there are other broadcasters as well...
ya but as national broadcaster with licence fee the onus is certainly on them
Here here.
They showed the game against Juve at the 3rd round stage last year. Maybe it's from there they'll cover the games? I agree though, they should have shown the games.
TV3'S interest in anything LOI went out the window a long time ago and more since they started up an alliance with ITV to show all their main stable programmes such as Coronation st,the x factor etc...Quote:

Great night in Inchicore. Second goal by Pat's was a lovely finish. Danny North is moany and unfit.

Yeah, super stuff from Pats. Very disciplined and kept the ball well at times. Reasonably comfortable at the back too. Kargandy had one great chance that went just wide but that was about it. Pats had two peno shouts turned down and Stephen Bradley brought a great save from their keeper with a free kick. Magic night. Hard to see us beating the Ukranians, but hey, you never know. Pity we can't play the next round in Richmond.
Long story short is:
These kind of weeks don't happen that often, and while no-one is resting on their laurels, it's still a week that should be savoured.Quote:

A great week all round for the clubs as said. Good for the league and good for the respective clubs. Disappointed for Bohs but I don't think anyone really expected them to win. Is the next round next week?

Goals from about 17:20 there
Lads,
Thats another 8 matches for Irish clubs in Europe this year at least ..... not often you can say that ....... well done to all involved
Holy jesus thats a horrible own goal by O'BrienQuote:

Here's a table of the current Coefficient's for this year. We're a bit behind some countries for this year but have three teams left, others have better ratings so far but have less teams still in
Went to see Fulhams training game V crusaders - weird looking at a game but when your mind is elsewhere - WELL DONE PATS
My God, what a terrible own goal from O'Brien. Delighted for Pat's - sounds like they did it in comfortable enough style too.
I wouldn't say that, you definitely wouldn't be favourites but one of either Sligo or Pat's will hopefully qualify.Quote:

In Europe last season they beat an Icelandic side 6-2 on aggregate, a Georgian side 2-0 and then Galatasaray on away goals. In the group stages they only managed 1 point. Given the total imbalance of the Ukrainian league (becoming like the SPL) I would imagine a lot of their decent players from last season would have left.
Their sub keeper is the guy who was in goals for Macedonia against Ireland in Skopje; Martin Bogatinov. That is the sum of my knowledge on Karpaty Lviv.Quote:
