Hardluck Derry.
With them helping our co-efficent and Pats fetting a miimum of 2 more chances to boost it will Rovers get to start a round later in the CL next year?

Despite not going through a narrow aggregate defeat to a team like Sofia is another positive for the league, well done Derry.

This year's points only affect that for the 2011/2 European season so it won't do Bohs any good in next year's CL but I don't think we're anywhere near having a team starting in the CL third qualifying round anyway. It might make a difference in whether the second team from the league get into the second qualifying round in the UEFA Cup though.

Just watched the 9pm news on RTE1. Feature piece on Liverpool FC playing in Dunmanway - and have to say, didn't recognise a single player, must have been a reserve c side or something - but do you think they mentioned Pat's excellent result, or Derry's draw? They did in my hooooooooooooo....................

Would like to see Motherwell do good under Jim Gannon.

Just back from the game tonight, the diving and cheating of certain CSKA players was blatant and why the ref only booked one (maybe two) of them for diving is beyond me. The main culprit was their forward, the guy who ended up scoring for them. He was warned numerous times by the ref for diving but because he was already booked from the first half the ref bottled it and failed to produce a second yellow for him. Anyway Derry did at least deserve the draw tonight and but for the free kick giving them an away goal and leaving us with a mountain to climb, 3 goals needed, it was an impossible ask. But the team kept going and the atmosphere in the Brandywell was magic. It's just a pity that they scored first because if we had scored first I firmly believe we would still be in the competition and entering the draw tomorrow.

It's now time for us to pick up our league form again and push for a european place for next season again.

Shame for the Derry lads, I honestly thought they had a better chance than us of going through, with the home crowd behind them.

Having said this, I know what the SEI will be singing on Tuesday now... :D

I wouldn't be surprised if dundalk were fielding bids for fabio before the window closes. Regardless of his age, there are plenty of mid-ranking clubs around europe who would be perfectly willing to take a punt on someone with that scoring record in europe, almost sight unseen. Particularly when they could have him for buttons.

Platini himself was the aristocrat pioneer of the somersault divers.

Great result for Pats.
The thread made great reading from 3 nil down
and they talk about the last 15 minutes of games being difficult for players:rolleyes:

Somewhat ironic that the club who did well in Europe was the only one that voluntarily made serious cuts in their wage bill in the close season.

Probably better for the league that Derry and Bohs' gambles have not paid off as they may have hoped. The sooner the madness ends the better.

Brilliant result for Pats and overall a good year for our league all things considered. Was looking at Bert's co-efficient site forum and if the draw is done in the same way as previous years pairs will be like this:

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 09
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25
33 34 35 36 37 38
44 43 42 41 40 39
45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52
60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53
61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68
76 75 74 73 72 71 70 69

As Pat's are the 70th ranked side they will be in Group 7 as follows:

Seeded
-------
Hamburger SV *3 Ger 67.339
Ajax Ned 54.826
Dinamo Bucuresti Rom 25.781
Metalist Kharkiv *3 Ukr 24.370

Unseeded
---------
Dinamo Moscow @3 Rus 9.525
Rapid Wien ** Aut 8.565Bnei Yehuda * Isr 3.050
St. Patrick's Athletic** Irl 2.899

If the above is the case, very tough draw for Pats whoever they get. If they want a money spinner then it's Hamburger or Ajax all the way. If they want any chance of progressing or at least more co-efficient points it's Dinamo or Metalist... lets hope for those two so! :)

Thats some result , fair play to the Pat's players, at 3-0 you would forgive them thinking it was all over,
Good luck in the draw tomorrow, considering Pat's will be unseeded, I hope they get a Decent team that will pull a large crowd
