bit of a sickener alright but still a great result Pats. Well done.
The sickening part was that Bet365 alerted me that a goal was scored before I had seen it happen on the stream.
It's not good enough ... they seeded to win this game ... they 1-0 up going into injury time ... they have a man down and they just holding out for a 1 - nil and they get caught .... its typical irish football ..... they should have finish the job tonight ... now they biting they fingers nails in the home leg ......
Don't agree with this at all. Who the hell are we to suddenly think we have a devine right to win away in Europe. You've got to remember we are still minnows in relative terms, with part time players. We've come a long way in the past few years (I was at the Z****u game, enough said :eek:) I thought Pats played superbly tonight. We were in control in the second half and it was a very disciplined performance. I really thought we looked comfortable and couldn't see them scoring. OK, we got caught with a sucker punch, but we have the advantage going into the home leg and every Pats fan would have been happy with that before the game.Quote:

Can't believe people are disappointed with our result tonight. A 1-1 away in 32 degree heat with the home leg still to come after playing 120 in Iceland last week....Er, I will take that.
They play well for an hour against 10 men and some people get excited.Quote:

Well done Pats, can`t understand why Fagan didn`t take the peno, he was excellent for the goal and Pat`s played some decent football but like a lot of LOI teams , have a confidence problem with killing off European sides, however humble,when on top
This post made me laugh. Cheers Fivesilver!Quote:

Well it doesn't take a whole lot to get people excited to be fair given what was served up to us in the summer by your hero Il Trap and that results machine of a national team.Quote:

Well done Pat's - I sincerely hope ye can finish the job next week as well as Sligo and Shams, Pats deserve either a shot at the group stages or at least a very big payday in the next round - not sure fans of any other club could possibly begrudge them on that.
All the Irish clubs in Europe have to play 3 games a week, in less than ideal conditions. That's what they have to accept.Quote:

Imagine people wanting to see good football on tv.Quote:

Fair play to Pats, whatever it is that they have gained over the years they have put it to good use over the last 2-3 years. They are always capable of getting good results against teams ranked similar or slightly higher i.e. they are consistent. If more LOI teams could be then progression would be made year on year.
Hopefully Pats can keep the momentum for next week. I fear they will be the only ones going through.
