Albanians were at it too in the 2nd leg. Must be an east Europe thing.

Haven't read beyond this post. No Radio Foyle stream. Making do with iCandy which has been good to me in the past. I may check BBC Radio Foyle again.

Well done St Pats. I checked at work and as it went out to 3-0 I gave up so to come on and see that they got a result is incredible stuff.

C'mon muckers. Here's hoping for a fantastic 45 and another fantastic night for the league. I agree on radio coverage, very very hard work but I love it as its all I get these days.

You can actually see the game a bit now on icandy (low quality camera, and doesn't move, only get to see part of the pitch).

Excellent commentary. I don't need the pictures. The Brandywell has never been pleasing on my eyes :D

Particularly when they could have him for buttons.

Hey Sheridan,

Welcome to foot.ie ! There's a few other Rovers fans on here, so you'll be in good company.

Are you by any chance a relative of a Sheridan fella who supports Dublin City ? He used to be on here a lot, but hasn't been heard from in a few hours. Bit of a ****** to be fair, so no great loss....

Enjoy the board,

Steve

Yep. 3 in 18 mins I think. I'm tempted to follow Sheridan's lead and say I'll change my avatar to a Derry City wan if Derry go through!

At least it means co-efficient points for the league if nothing else!

Only a few hours ago in Russia. By all accounts CSKA have killed this game through diving.

Why would we bid for our own player :confused:

Do red cards in Europe carry over to the league if the team are knocked out or does it carry over to their next game in Europe?

Unbelieveable these eastern european teams get away with murder with diving left rite and centre. Platini shud get the finger out of his backside and cut this out, if you cheat taking drugs your banned for 2 yrs if you cheAT and dive you get away with both of these are cheating only way to cut it out is ban players for a long time

They should also hand out red cards for consistently poor spelling and bad use of grammar.... ;)

Its all I've heard through the commentary. I would expect a certain bias from Kev and James but nonetheless a dive is a dive and I'd love a total number of actual dives from this game. It must be quite a number. It was up to the ref to stamp his mark on the game and deal with it.Had he done then the diving and cheating would have stopped. Its a facet of world football thats gone on for so many years from Maradona to Klinsmann. Listening to that commentary, little has actually changed. Sadly.

Ends 1 a piece. More co-efficient points for the league and the club.

Plus Kenny's undefeated Euro record at the Brandywell continues : 5 games at home, 2 wins, 3 draws. Not bad.
